Melbourne don't need depth players. Get over trading recruiting dead wood Good call above. Lonergan no thanks - we've already got Dunn who could cover similar spots as depth. Watches the Saints yesterday and the depth was irrelivant - Hayes, Riewoldt, Montagna, Fisher, Gilbert and Dal Santo just killed them......the effort of Milne, Eddy, Ball, Blake, King didn't matter. Trade for real talent only - ala Boak.

FB: Rivers Warnock McDonald HB: Grimes Frawley Morton C: Green Moloney Davey HF: Wonaeamirri Bate Trengove FF: Watts Jurrah Garland Foll: Jamar Sylvia Scully Int: Martin Petterd Jones McLean Emerg: Bruce, Strauss, Spencer McDonald must be in Rd 1 as Captain. This is exciting simply because it's so hard to do. Couldn't fit Bruce in. Expecting a big pre-season from McLean also. Scully and trengove must play - lot's of games into them in 2010 along with Watts.

No. Too old for our window. Spencer, Jamar and Martin as back up the keys, draft a new young tall as a rookie also to develop. I'm still thinking Pick2 (Trengove) to Port for Pick9 (next Ziebell? maybe Cunnington) and Boak. That gets us 3 gun midfielders with Scully. Go Demons, a nice finish to the year apart from the junk 10 mins at the end, veyr competitive when it counted, and we got very little from retirees today, all youth. Morton is a gun! Can play mid and back, forward next.......oh and Jurrah!!!! Bring on pre season training.

With our philosphy of 'no risk' on injuries at present the list is bigger than other Clubs, Geelong may have 7-8 if a similar philosphy was followed - Chapman, Ottens and Johnson good examples of that, they'd be listed as "season" if Demons. Another piece may be our list if so big due to the younger bodies not standing up to full AFL season - Swans, Saints have been low on injuries but also have very seasoned AFL footballers who learn to manage and adapt. In 2011-13 we really need Swans/Saints style management and luck!

Also heard Grimes did a hammy yesterday, anyone know if true? Would be a pity for him to miss all 3 to come.

I/C (from): Tom McNamara, Shane Valenti, Brock McLean, Jordie McKenzie, Mark Jamar, Jake Spencer, Russell Robertson Surprised PJ 1st ruck. Would like to see a bench of Jamar, McLean, McKenzie and McNamara. Robbo to play next week perhaps.
