We are after a big strong forward! Everyone wanting a Leigh Brown type. Here he is!

He is only 27 and would relish a fresh start at a new club.

Pro's

- robust (no injuries)

- big and strong

- big kick and one grab mark

- versatile ( can play ruck and I believe is very good at stoppages)

- 5 or 6 years still in him

Con's - ???????????

He is out of contract. So a 2nd or 3rd round pick could do it...

Thoughts?

I actually agree with you Jungledee. If we are looking for a player that may fit the bill but doesn't cost the earth then he is worth the punt. He may completely fail or he may be next years Schultz and turn his career around. For mine he is the type of NQR who will not cost the eartth and that may fill a role for us.

Definately not!!! To be dropped four times in one season by this years, wooden spooners pretty much says it all.

Our forward line is going to improve from within- I like our forward setup- it just needs physical maturation, to play more games together and for the ball to be delivered into the forward line more often- the scoring shots to inside 50s ratio is actually pretty good.

We need to find some more depth in defense, particularly another Chip like key defender because if he goes down for an extended period of time, there really isn't a suitable back up for him.

With our first pick being somewhere between 12-17, there should still be one or two suitable players available.

I don't see him as being that much better than Miller. The club have already signalled thier intentions with Brad. so why would they get rid of one 27 yr old so-so tall forward only to turn around and pick up another?

Posted

We just got rid of Miller. We really don't need another one.

Would be a bit of a slap in the face to Miller. Similar types, same age

rather Ryan Murphy from freo or maybe Ashley Hansen as he would cost much

I have been on the Ryan Murphy bandwagon for sometime, he is no big power forward but a quality youngish player who can kick and mark very well! Funny enough his mum just starting working with me and from our conversations he is deffinetly leaving freo regardless! As for the big Q I have too agree there ain't much difference between him and miller maybe Q can kick a fare bit further!

woeful thread

big q cant get a game in an average side

not a smart move to give up miller and get big q

like for like

Not suitable. Have a look at the game plan and tell me how this guy fits into it. Is he a quick mobile forward who can work up the ground and then double back to mark in the open spaces? Is he an elite field kick? I really don't see him as worth the effort, not because he isn't a good enough player but because I can't see him working with a gameplan that relies on speed and movement.

He knocked back $300k at the weagles. Go figure. Generous I would have thought.

No.

M Le Cras?

Le Cras is more of a medium lead up forward similar to Green... They have severely lacked a pure crumbing forward this year.

Posted

There is not a font for a sarcastic response so I am just going to go with "NO" on this one...

Package Ashley Hansen and Quinten Lynch and you get a bigger No.

Sooner have Serhart Temel...than those two.But we will come up with a good choice sooner rather than later.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
