What we need?

Recommended Posts

I think we only need to get one type of players at the end of the year and get Travis Boak from Port into your midfield.

I think we need to go into the draft and try and get a really good key forward maybe even two I we really lack someone in your forward line who can take a really good mark.

We have used:

Micheal Newton: hasn't done anything

Brad Miller: I think he is as bad as Newton

Jack Watts: Is still developing and is going to make mistakes I would keep playing him.

Daniel Hughes: Not up to it.

I know we have Liam to come back and he and Jack will go well together but I think we really need someone else who will be big and strong in your forward line. Maybe will should get someone from the VFL or somewhere else who we have sudden impact.

I also think we should really go for Boak. He is going to be a superstar. He wants to come back to Melbourne and I think he would be one of the greatest trade if we get him. I watched todays game and he was the best player for Port and he is having a great year.

I think if we et both of these we are going to have a great all round team.

i dont agree with brad miller being as bad as newton.

miller can kick a few goals here and there newton cant.

i think hughes can be a good player if he is given more of an opportunity just like watts he is still developing just at an older age

i do agree with the watts bit though

If we go after a established midfielder, then we should go all out to get Dangerfield, & bring him back to Melbourne.

If you watch any footy you would know that Dangerfield plays in the forward line and hardly ever plays in the midfield so I wouldn't even call him a established midfielder compared to Boak who has played his whole career in the midfield and is now a really good and established midfielder.

Hughes only played two games and they were quite good. Showed some real potential. Should be in the side ahead of Watts so that was very harsh on him. Newton will be gone at the end of the year as will Miller i suspect so we definately need to draft a Key forward

i would actually prefer either Dave Mckay or Richard Douglas. Both are elite users of the ball.

McKay is a dime a dozen outside midfield, who amazingly, Melbourne have none of! I'd like him but Dangerfield has much more to offer. Douglas is a good player, but a half forward/midfielder probably no better than Sylvia and Jetta with a touch more development.

We need Time for our side to develop and our young players to become Men.

Imagine the improvement and growth from our youngsters over the next 2-3 years.

I believe we have the list, its all about just topping it up now and being patient.

I don't get to watch the other teams very much, and i remember dangerfield as a Tac cup player. He's a very versatile type with big engine & tough, play anywhere sort.

where their currently playing him I wouldn't know. But from what I've read, he's held in the highest esteem. So, as I said, if we're to recruit someone of the midfield type size & build, I'd try to get him.

I saw Boak briefly today, the first I've seen of him since Geeelong falcons time, where he was going well. He looked a bit one paced to me and didn't dispose the ball all that well.?? If we go for another of these types that will cost us something in return, they would have to have some special skilsets that we don't have, or lacking. Power players, hard nuts, power forward, etc.

    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.

    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
