Hey, Rev, where are you now? Why don't you post on this board, telling us exactly what sort of future you were building for this club? By clinging onto players who had SOME currency value 3 or 4 years ago, (but worth nothing now!!) you have left Dean Bailey trying to build from the depths of (possibly) no return.

    When older players leave next year we will have draft picks and extra cash to buy some big name players, if we are smart enough to do this that is

    It's hardly the same. We could have secured, via trading for picks (or player(s)), some young guns - in terms of draft # at least - who would have had a reasonable amount of games under their belts by now.

    Given that there are plenty of guys who are wrth of a delisting, the departure of any guys that 'jumbo returns' was referring to will just give us extra draft picks in the mid-late rounds.

    we might get a first rounder for a Bruce type if we throw in our second round pick

    Actually Neale's list of 2006 would have a gotten us a top four finish in 2006 if we hadn't lost twice to the wooden-spooners (or close) in Carlton. Which brings up the real flaw with Daniher.

    Which is why I am waiting to see what Bailey does before slashing my wrists.

    Bailey also had a chance last year to winnow our glut a third-tall defenders but did not. Contracts may have been a problem to some extent.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
