If Carlton can't satisfy Freo re: Warnock I can see some variation of this happening...

- Warnock to Dees

- Griffen to Freo

- Bell & 2nd Round pick to Adelaide

Then 3rd Round pick for Bentley ... considering not many have even heard of him he can't be worth that much

(especially if people are talking about a straight swap for Bell)

i thought it was fairly common knowledge that warnock wants to play at carlton

You would think that would be so kramer. Carlton want him, He wants Carlton,.... but what does Fremantle want? Some would say it's not up to them...but as some have mentioned on other threads, "Nothing is a done deal, until it's done"

Bentley sounds good- and don't worry, we won't be getting anyone the Dean bailey doesn't rate.

I like the sound of kane Tenace as well- everyone on this site is far too picky. you dont need to have every single attribute to be a good player. Farren Ray i don't think will happen, doggies would want something pretty good for him. Griffen or reilly from adelaide could be good as well

"You don't need good disposal to be a good player". Now I have heard it all.

..who wouldn't have kane tenace in their side..look at wojinski. same sort of player

The club where he is on the list.

Also, Wojinski is a far better player than tenace.

And considering Wojack isn't a great kick either.

I'll take J Griffin but he's probably wanting to go west. I wouldn't even touch Ray or Tenace even if they didn't cost anything.

I thought the line 'being too picky' was funny.

I've seen Tenace play quite a bit at AFL and VFL. Yes he's fast! BUT:

He cant kick (Godders is a better kick), he is outside and needs space to function.

Get over him - he's a dud

 
(Godders is a better kick), :o

That is one massive statement....have you had time to go away and think about what you have just said? :blink:

Have you seen him play? Kick?

Godders is capable of hitting targets at VFL level, Tenace isn't

Why would we give up pick 19 and bell to get Warnock????? Pick 19 would be enough or Bell by himself

paul hopgood is a better kick then tenace ffs

funny how there are so many experts on demonland. none of us know anything! if tenace gets picked up by us..you'll all retract what you're saying most likely. Bailey and the footy department will know what they're getting when they get a player who's already been in the system. The reason tenace wants out or geelong dont want him is because they don't need him, and they have an all star midfield. look at prismall, couldnt get a game until 8 weeks ago

If Tenace is as good as you say, and trust me he's not, why have the likes of Stokes, Prismall, Varcoe and Gamble all leapfrogged over him, even though he's been in the system for 2-3 more years?

You have committed the gravest sin on demonland. Apparently Godders &"better kick" is an oxymoron. Godders should always begin with "the much maligned". and don't tell anyone but his kicking efficiency would be better than 75% of the demons this year.

Tenace would add pace. Nothing else though.

Bentley wouldnt add much either. He's a true half back flanker. We already have an abundance of those. We need to recruit players to suit our needs.

If there is someone we should chase, its Adam Campbell. We need a KPF with strong hands.

Now you are talking.


The stats aren't flattering.

Not really. 12 goals from 10 games the highlight.

Campbell's very much the "prospect" type. There's no guarantees he'll make it yet, but from what I gather he has the body and work ethic. He needs for it to all come together and he'll be a good forward, but so far it hasn't happened. A risk. Given our woeful forwardline, I'd take him.

Do not want Tenace. Reasons already well and truly covered in this thread. I think the very last thing in the world we need is another bloke who can't kick.

The idea of Bentley doesn't really excite me either. Haven't seen a lot of him at all, but I really hate the idea of our club trading in NQRs from other teams in the bottom half of the ladder, to fill a position that could be filled with any dime-a-dozen player in the ND. He's not going to be a damaging midfielder and he's definitely not a KPF, so what "problem" is solved by bringing him on? Just seems like a waste of time and a waste of a list spot to me.

I'd consider trading in Wojcinski if he was on the market. I think he's just the victim of the great side he's a part of at the moment. Would slot straight in to our 22. That said, you could probably apply my "can't kick" rule on him as well.

 

Sometime though, backman can be found in the later picks of the drafts,

Col Garland was a pick in the 40's

Bentley just needs to work hard on the track, and results can come

If Tenace is as good as you say, and trust me he's not, why have the likes of Stokes, Prismall, Varcoe and Gamble all leapfrogged over him, even though he's been in the system for 2-3 more years?

Lets recruit 22 players that cant get games at thier current clubs and build a team full of rejects. I sure that will help us move up the ladder. I want to draft draft draft and only recruit players under 23 by trading unwanted Melbourne players.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
