Not sure if there has been a thread on Motlop. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on picking him up? Will be 29 next year, so could possible provide us with 3 to 4 years of service (atleast) due to the fact his played most of his footy as a permanent forward. I think he would mix in well with our forward line, but the quesiton is would pick 32 be to much to offer bearing in mind our current position.

We do not need anymore crumbing forwards. Petterd, Wonna, Jurrah, alongside Green and Watts. The ideal player we need is a tall that can slot down forward and take a grab like Jamar. That way, the likes of Jurrah and Wonna don't need to go up for the mark, and they crumb. Another crumbing forward would clog up the forward line.

I think we had his brother 4/5 years back whom went ok- don't want this one- would not get a game in our team as it stands IMO..

Agree.

He's better than Wonaeamirri, his best is better than Petterd's best (though I'd prefer Petterd) and he has the skills to match Jurrah.

He'd get a game in most teams.

Do not want though.

You're setting the bar pretty low if you think Shannon Motlop "went ok". He played a handful of good games but was mostly either rubbish, or playing in the VFL.

Not interested in Daniel either. Fantastic player at his best, but I get the feeling the headache of having him would outweigh the on-field benefit. No d-head rule anyone?

Shannon was a punt following the tragic death of Troy Broadridge but was a failure.

Daniel is highly talented, lazy and poor defensively, temperamental and high maintenance off the ground.

At 29, surely there are better options for MFC.

Melbourne were after Hale because he could create a contest deep in our forward 50, bring the ball to ground and let our small crumbing forwards to the goal snapping.

i.e Petterd, Wonna, Jurrah, Bennell, etc

We do not need another small forward

i agreee that his better than Wona and petterd so thats why I reckon if we could get him cheapily it would be worth the punt. Imagine Jurrah,Green,Motlop,Watts,Petterd and Wona down there together. All capable of kicking a bag on their given day

Wasn't even a punt. The AFL gave us a list of "replacements" due to the circumstances, and Shannon was the best of a bad lot.

Daniel is a freak, his consistency is a concern. At best he is unstoppable, but we don't get to see it that often.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
