I know there is alot of you out there who don't like Jesse White, but the guy would be the perfect fit for us.

- Full Forward

- Young

- Strong

- Fast

- Aggressive

- Not out of reach

I seriously think we should trade for him, apparently he wasnt too happy at the Swans earlier this year, may have changed now he is in their best 22 but I would give a Morton + a pick for him.

I WANT HIM IN THE RED AND BLUE

Everyone always talks about trading Morton and a pick, but none of you understand Morton aint no sweetner. The Swans would laugh at Morton. They play tough football and on that he will never get a game.

And no on White. I'd prefer to wait for Cook.

Morton would not get a kick in a swans team, why would they want him??

Dreaming is fun though.demon_cool.gif

Are you kidding? Morton is exactly the type the Swans would go for. The kid clearly has talent. As frustrating a player as he is, you still see some very good things from time to time. He has not been playing in the one role for us and this has likely unsettled him.

The swans have and amazing record for getting the best out of their recycled players. I'd bet they could do so with Morton. Hell, I'm betting our new coach will be able to.

I'm not saying they'd give up gold for him, but I'm certain that they'd be interested in him, for the right trade.

In any event, I hope we hold onto him. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I think with a new (experienced) coach coming in, he might turn the corner.

Is he the perfect fit for us because he is mediocre like half our list?

You also forgot to the two most important "can't take marks" and "doesn't kick goals". Next please.

Totally agree. The Swans will turn Morton into their next Goodes. Cannot believe the bagging of Morton on this site. He is still clearly in a development stage of his career.

I thought Morton would be perfect in the HBF factory that is Sydney.

They just churn them out.

Shaw, Mattner, Kennelly, Malceski, etc.

Morton's long kicking out of the back half would be damaging on the SCG.

Would prefer to sign a guy called Steph Martin! Jesse White might be all of those things, but for me Steph Martin is the tall, young, strong, fast, aggressive player we need to sign. Oh, and he can ruck a bit which seems handy in this new world order for football.

There will always be a Jesse White type forward available, but quality tall utility players are a little harder to come by.

Ok,

Stef Martin has the athletisim, the ruck work, and the build to be a good player. I think he will be a handy back up ruckman, part time forward and hole filler for the backline. However, he does not have the aggression or body movement of a power forward, and I doubt he will.

If you watch the way Jesse White, a 22 year old, 100 kg, 196 cm power forward moves around the ground, you can see he is not far away from being a star.

What does he need?

To be the focal point of a young developing team.

I have watched a number of his games, where he has played more of a link up style rather then out and out FF. Sydney don't use him as much because of Sam Reid and Goodes demanding alot of the pill. I think they dont value him TOO much, so he is stealable.

For all those people who say Morton wouldn't be acceptable, your wrong, he is the perfect sydney mould. They would see his potential and make him work extra hard for it. I think Cale has the potential to be good, but maybe at the MFC he wont get there.

Needs to show something next year. Will be 22 in his 5th season. Has to take the next step.

I would throw a lot at the swans to get him. reckon he is more talented than Dawes and just as big.

We absolutely need a big body up forward and release Watts, Jurrah to play roaming marking roles. Swans would ask a fair bit but these are the blokes you need in finals.

We have to start recruiting big guys and sorry I just don't see Cook being stronger than Watts will be.

if we don't get a coule of biggers bodies in it is going to be another long year of frustration where our structure falls appart against the bigger sides.

FFS MFC stop recruiting bodies like Cook, Morton. we need bigger players.

What do people think of Lewis Johnston from sydney?

20 year key forward and pick 12 in 08 draft. I seem to remember reading that we were hoping he would slide through to our priority pick. Can't seem to crack a game having only played twice this year so he will probably be looking for more opportunities else where (*unsure of contract status, but that doesn't seem to matter these days). Although maybe it's a bad sign that he hasn't been able to string more games together. I haven't seen him play at AFL level, is anyone able to shed any light of what type of player he might develop into, i.e. stay at home or lead up?

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
