True, but their midfield sh*ts all over ours.

I'd give my left knee to have Martin, Cotchin and Delidio running around in our midfield. Sure beats having to resort to the likes of Bate. No offence to Bate.

They appear good on paper but we will cream them. Moloney is better than all of them .

But they drop away quickly after that, and a lot in the media have been seduced not just KB...as a side issue which one of the 3 would you take. Cotchin is the one for me but I wouldn't throw either of the other 2 back.

Guys,

Face it. We would kill for tiges midfield v ours. But the advatage of being a donut (nothing in the middle) in our case is that we can do something about it (viney + 2 high draft picks).

Tiges have a great midfield (but not much elsewhere except reiwoldt gun and a few others).

I think we are evenly poised now overall but we will be able to rectify our deficiencies eventually and they will find it more difficult.

Terrible waste of a good draft pick.

Agree-you would think Cameron and co.would not make a second mistake in a row,re Miller and now Maric.

very good point that you raise.Maloney in a forward pocket may be a great move.

Like when at MFC, he "did a few good things" last night, but, like when at MFC, not enough.

Wait and see before slashing wrists please.

I love Beamer, but Cotchin is a level above him already, and he's still young. Cotchin is better than anyone on our list at present. Last night he went head to head with Judd and won. Anyone who picks up 27 touches, 8 tackles, 2 goals, while going head to head with a superstar in Judd, and does all that trying to carry a losing team...is a star. I'm hoping Trengove gets to that level. If he does we're in for a treat!

One warm day does not a summer make. Cotchin is not at Beamer's level yet. He may be on the way - but you are listening to too much KB on 1116.

Cotchin reached Moloney's level last year and is about to put the afterburners on.

Dont believe the hype on it .Wait till you see our bloke.

I agree. Cotchin went past Beamer some time ago. I dont listen to KB at all

Just saw this and agree wholeheartedly.

Or an indictment on those responsible for coaching and developing young players at the club?

No its a bad draft pick. He has shown zip since he got to MEL. I have seen him in the AFL and VFL and I am puzzled why we spent pick 20 on him,

Even more surprised that Cameron picked up him up again at Richmond after he wasted a good pick at MEL.

Its as bizarre as Ratten and Riley offering a first round pick fro McLean.

Garry Lyon said on MMM "there is always a good reason why you let a player go"

Followed by spud "Yeah him ducking his head and shirking the contest like that must be one"

He is inclined to put in short steps occasionally. He has some good attributes and I thought being delisted was the kick in the bum he needed, but alas it doesn't seem to have, I couldn't see coaches like Neeld or Hardwick being big admirers for very long.

I'd say for pure clearance abilities, Moloney and Cotchin are on par, but Cotchin is a lot classier, a better user of the ball, a better mark, and quicker.

Moloney is grunt, Cotchin is class.

It's like comparing Sam Mitchell and Chris Judd. Both great extractors, but one is a superb finisher.

I must say I disagree on this point .I think he is pretty quick /elusive and he "hates" a goal which makes him a forward .

Did he kick 3 once for us or was I dreaming?

Wrong. Most he's kicked is 2 and it was from the midfield. Will never be a crumbing forward

One relies on Mark Jamar too often and the other hurts teams in the midfield regardless of the rucks and can punish teams when he goes forward.

Cotchin is a mile in front of Moloney.

Is that not what I said?!

Moloney would consistently win more clearances then Cotchin, but he doesn't hurt you like Cotchin does, because he is a pure inside mid, and Cotchin is equally good both inside and outside.

We don't need to degrade Moloney, because he is very good at what he does, and would be in the top 20 or so clearance players in the AFL, but he has serious disposal and foot speed flaws which make him a good player, but not a great player.

Agree. Cotchin is class, Beamer is a bull.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
