    Rd 1 Team vs West Coast

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    FB: Jetta - May - Lever

    HB: Salem - McDonald - Hibberd 

    MID: Langdon - Viney - Tomlinson 

    HF: Petracca - McDonald - Bennell

    FF: Melksham - Weideman - Fritsch 

    R: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes 

    INT: Brayshaw - Petty - Young - Hunt

     

    Depth: Sparrow - Lockhart - Pruess - Baker - Smith - Vandenberg - Hannah - Pick 8 - preseason draft pick 2  

     

    With all the doom and gloom that came with the 2019 season, I genuinely think that this club can take a huge step forward this year if we have a solid pre season with a healthy list. 

    Ive been a bit optimistic with my 22 (including Bennell and young before they’ve been picked up and weideman still unproven). This was just to show how good our side can look with a bit of luck and good health. It’s easy to forget how well a lot of these players played in 2018. I am very excited for this season. 

     

     

    Narrowing down the draft - Dees to pick between 3 mids?

    I played footy with Callum Mills last year.. there was a game where we were down to the best team in the comp by 25 points and Millsy came on and kicked 5 goals in 10 minutes out of the midfield to win us the game. This guy is an absolute freak! is there any chance at all that Sydney wont be able to get enough points to bid for him? if so, any chance of him slipping to us?

    Delistings/trades at end of the season

    in Melbourne Demons

    • I am not an advocate of mass delistings given the draft is meant to be very thin.

    • McKenzie, Bail and Reilly are almost certain to be delisted and Terlich is a fair chance to have his last year paid out. Others who might be delisted are Fitzpatrick, Jamar, Toumpas, Michie and Hunt.

    • Garland and Howe will be offered contracts and the ball is in their court. I would like them both to stay and feel we will get undercompensated if they leave.

    • We have to upgrade Vandenberg and Harmes.

    • Our prime target should be Dangerfield. He is a top five player in the game and would instantly give us a real chance at finals.

    • I feel we are most lacking outside run and skill. If we don’t get Dangerfield, we should be trying to get a player like Motlop, Yarran, Lewis Jetta or Harley Bennell.

    • I think Geelong are in a pickle and will delist Kelly, who is still playing well and would be a good short-term player for us.

    • We should look to trade Toumpas for the best deal we can get.

    • I’d consider trading Dawes, but I feel his contract was probably front loaded and I doubt we would get a decent return.

    • We should look to trade with Sydney or GWS for their first pick by packaging lower picks together. These clubs only want the points required to get their Acadamy players. i.e. trade our second, third and fourth rounder to Sydney for their first pick.

    The dream result would be:

    • Get Dangerfield via free agency.

    • Retain Howe and Garland.

    • Delist McKenzie, Bail, Reilly and Terlich.

    • Trade Toumpas for a 2016 pick.

    • Trade our second, third and fourth rounder to Sydney for their first pick.

    • Retain Cross and Jamar on short-term deals. Jamar is interesting given his age, but we only have three ruckmen on our list, so if he goes we may need to get another one.

    • I assume we will look to retain Hunt, but I haven’t seen him play.

    • I am undecided on Michie and think the last three games will decide his future.

    • I am also undecided on Fitzpatrick.

    • Enter the draft with only our first pick and Sydney’s first pick. (Using very late picks to upgrade Vandenberg and Harmes.)

    I think you have summed it up perfectly although, If we trade away our second third and fourth round picks it doesn't leave us with much to trade for a potential depth player or a ready made player like we did with vince and pick 23.

    Tom Mitchell

    I was talking to Dan Robinson from the Swans yesterday and he told me that Tom Mitchell is almost 100% off to Carlton as they are giving him a $2 million deal! He was all but certain that he was at the blues next year. This is coming from a guy that lived with Tom Mitchell..

    Players to target at the end of the year

    Maybe have a look at Daniel Robinson, Swans rookie. Inside mid averaging 30 possessions a game in NEAFL.

    From Sydney but not getting a look in.

    The kid impressed me in 2012 in under 18 carnival and taken by Swans as a rookie under academy.

    I am from NSW and i am good mates with Dan. Hasn't been annouced yet but he just recently signed a new deal with the Swans.
