ruckmen available

just thinking

if port are into jamar, and we offer jamar and 18 for port's pick 8, then i reckon we'd need a ready made ruckman come the preseaon draft. It may only be for a couple of years untill we're able to develop another one. but i reckon our midfield should be able to expect at least a few taps to advantage a game.

so who would fit this bill and be available and that we can lure into the preseason draft?

Mark Blake.

Hey mate, do you see him going somewhere in particular?

He would probably be worth a late first round pick (given that he's a good ruckman - and their prices are over inflated), however Pick #11 is too much.

Roos has stated that pick 14 is not enough, considering he went to Sydney for pick 15 and has improved (I might have 14 and 15 around the wrong way...not sure)...seems no-one can be pleased. It's hard to find a happy medium. I'm sure it's all about perceived market values and one side trying to gain an advantage or at least be content.

Surely we would only entertain trading Jamar if we could pick up another ruckman? I wouldn't be opposed to trading Pick 50 for Mumford.

We could always trade jamar, and wipe the slate clean by drafting a ruckman in the top 20. It is not like we will be winning more than 8 games next season, so buying a winning ruckman VS drafting a talented ruckman will have little bearing on how many games we win next year. Much of a muchness really. Having the Kid has a greater upside, that said Mumford still is a Kid and has shown glipses of talent. For pick 50? In a heart beat!

Apparently Brisbane are interested in Mumford. I don't think Geelong will let him go for ~ pick 50!

Blake reportedly signed for 2 more years.

Swans reportedly offered him 900K over 3 years. I'll match that in PSD if i have to but 800K to stay in Vic is still a massive bump up.

If we trade Jamar we should pick someone up.

Trade Jamar + another player to Port for Pick 9.

Select Majak Daw with Pick 34.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

We can persist with Spencer, Meesen, Johnson and even Stef Martin until Daw comes on.

I don't think we'd trade Jamar. But if we do, surely we couldn't get pick 9, could we ?

If Jamar does go, perhaps pick 34 for Mumford. Geelong would let him go for that.

You're keen on Daw Dee tention.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
