A leader to get behind

Featured Replies

Posted

After yesterdays loss, Bailey will be gone.. If not this week, it will be in five weeks time. I have been a fan of him, but its not working and we will cut our losses.

That solves one problem, but I believe a leader from outside will help us progress into a decent team.

Like Judd did for the blues, who can we get into our club? In that age bracket of 24 - 28ish-29?

I would be throwing big money at one of these guys and trying to get them into our club for the leadership and give our younger mids someone to build around and learn from.

1. J.Bartel

2. S.Pendlebury

3. S.Mitchell

4. B.Goddard

5. M.Boyd

6. B.Sewell

7. M.Priddis

8. R.OKeefe

Any other ideas?

None of them will leave their clubs to join us. Ironically, Sewell wanted to come to the Dees several years ago in a proposed transfer with Ryan Ferguson. Great decision that one.

Blame Ferguson for turning it down.

 

Priddis? Really? My god. Pendles is the only one of those I'd go after.

I hope that snipe was aimed at Ferguson, because he's the reason the deal didn't go through. Since Ferguson was contracted he had to assent to the trade; he didn't.

The idea is right given our problem with mature onground leaders. By their nature and standing within their clubs, they are not available at almost any price.

But if you could, then;

Jonathon Brown

Joel Selwood

Matthew Pavlic

My God Nothing AF - Take your blinkers off

PRIDDIS would be an awesome get.

Suggest you watch just one West Coast game this season & you should get it.

He gets & uses very well the one thing we hardly get.

The Ball.

Would be hard to shift from WC but definately the right sort of player we need.

I've watched a couple of Eagles games this year and if I was going out there to throw money at an elite player, with leadership, it wouldn't be Priddis.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
