People should be able to write what they want wether it's good or bad or wether you agree with it or not. Too many wannabe dictators on Demonland.

If Miller was playing from the goal square and he had decent delivery he may be able to kick some goals, I don't think he is a great player but he can be handy and can hit the opposition pretty hard. We don't have too many in the side that can do that.

You change your mind quickly. First you wrote that he will be a star, the next post you wrote that he will be a handy player, I'm sure the next post you write will be how useless Miller is like the rest of us.

$750,000 is ridiculous. Pick 9 which is an average player and Lewis who is a clanger king I still wouldn't touch it, 2 average players don't add up to a gun IMO.

I can't see us hanging Watts out to dry on his own as the sole big man up forward. PJ doesn't really fit the bill and I am not sure Martin on a permanent basis does either.

Miller doesn't fit the bill either.

Why?

Why not? Just because other teams do it differently doesn't mean we should do the same as them. We have 46 players who have 50 numbers 4 aren't gonna be used. They retired Neitz, Lyon and Yze's numbers why not Robbo.

He has had half of one good season in the last 3 years.... this year and last were nothing seasons for him and the year before he put in half a good year....

He would of won the B&F easily if he wasn't injured last year.

I suggest you think before u start slagging people off. I am a close mate of Mitch's. The reason he hasn't played much is injuries. Hip opperation, shoulder and also he broke a bone in his foot. The only worry is his shoulder but the docs think that it is going to be fine. Also he is not too short as the hawks used him in the ruck. You need to get some facts or think before slagging players off.

I thought this was a Gibson thread not a Thorp thread. Thorp hasn't played any games to be rated.

He is?!!

Jeez. Pick 20 is WAY too high.

I'd be interested in Lovett-Murray

You're kidding aren't you? While we are at it why don't we recruit Leigh Brown, Gibson, Raines and any other spud so we can put another spoon in the trophy cabinet

For those who think we'll make finals, which of the top eight sides do we deserve to go into 2010 thinking we should finish above them? A follow-up - do you also think we should expect to win more games than all the other bottom-eight sides, including Hawthorn?

We CAN not SHOULD finish above teams from Brisbane down and there is usually a team that makes the top 4 who unexpectedly falls away and struggles to make the finals or doesn't make it at all like Hawthorn.

We will never beat North Melbourne in our life time. I don't know why this average footy club has the wood on us.

A lot of teams have the wood on us ATM that's why we are last.

And who would they be?

Anyone that agrees with Rhino

He hasn't had a kick since they made the finals. He resembles Freo when he's on he is very exciting with his pace when he is off he is very poor he can stray the ball anywhere. As long as we gave nothing away for him I would be interested.

With all these players putting hands up...can some now still take the stand that Melbourne wont be involved in any trading. ?

If its' only Staker and Raines then we won't be involved in trading. Staker is just another Miller and Raines is a 1 year wonder with nothing going for him.

friend of mine reconds he over herd craig cameron talking to Scully and his Mum, at some match resently

may not be true, hope not. think there talking crap

Why would you want to go to a club that Cameron is at. He turned us into a basket case and it hasn't taken him long to turn Richmond into one. How he has a job and is respected in the media defies logic. Richmond's recruiting last year was disgraceful they deserve to be where they are at and it's all his fault.

CRAZY TALK.

Kane Cornes would fetch a pick in the 4-9 area anyone is interested.

Boak would fetch that. Cornes wouldn't he's 27. A pick between 15 to 25 more likely.

Hey Big C, I just noticed that Casey have a bye this week.

I was wondering why the Casey team hadn't come up yet. I still don't understand why they would risk injury prone players at this time of year when we should be looking at players like Buckley, Valenti, Spencer, McNamara and McKenzie.

Buckley has only played two games after injuries throughout the year so is still regaining his fitness, that's why he's playing at Casey....

McNamara only had 1 game and Bail was playing in Casey's reserves and got a game.

You goose. Robbo is back in this week.

On the extend bench. He's no certainty to play and looking at the bench I can't see him playing. I think his next game will be his last game which will be his farewell game in RND 22.

If you can't get a game at Melbourne now I think you are in big trouble. Buckley you are in big trouble.

McLean and Jamar have been injured for a while so I can't why they shouldn't have a run at Casey.

Hopeful interchange : McNamara, McKenzie, Valenti, Spencer. P.J is still getting a game. What does he have to do to get dropped?

You haven't mentioned a bloke by the name of Watts. He was an extremely valued draft pick, just as Scully and Trengove would be...Watts was given 4, I can see Scully being given the recently famed #9.

Watts got that number before they made the decision for young kids to get high numbers.#31 is a pretty famous number too.

No, but the wooden spoon was a direct result of doing what he was brought in to do - fast-track youth development and assess / rebuild the list.

The wooden spoon was merely an unpleasant after-effect.

I really don't see what the problem people have with coming last - if we were 14th it is no better in my eyes.

I'm only interested in improvement and development at this stage and for the last 2 years - wins or losses are bordering on meaningless.

I don't have a problem with where the club is at quite the opposite actually, but surely Melbourne must show a fair bit of improvement next year for Bailey to get another contact? We just can't keep on losing.

You suggest that Bailey should have lost his job because we have won 2 spoons in a row even though this is exactly what he was employed to do.

So last year he was employed to win the spoon? I seriously doubt that, nobody picks coaches to win spoons.
