Just a fun exercise, but say you had carte blanch to sign three players from rival clubs on 4 year deals. Anyone at all ... which three would you bring to the Demons? Think list management and flag-tilt.

Mine?

1. Patrick Dangerfield

2. Lance Franklin

3. David Swallow

Posted

Franklin - Would love to see him make magic in a Demon jumper

Pendles - Competition for Dunn for stupid facial hair

Selwood - Is brilliant, tough and inspirational and I wouldn't get grumpy every time he manufactured an over the shoulder tackle on himself

1) Trent Cotchin - on his way to being the best mid in the comp

2) Scott Pendlebury - currently the best mid in the comp

3) Travis Cloke - with the above 2 n our midfield along with what we have and Mitch Clark would be very hard to beat

Posted

Selwood - for his leadership , stats and courage

Ablett - ball magnet , leadership .

Franklin - Freak , matchwinner .


Posted

A Gaff - Outside speed, classy and young.

B Matera - Crumber we are crying out for, also young.

T Cotchin - On his way to brownlow, a bit older to help shape our kids

M. Murphy best mid in the comp next year IMO

J. Patton Best young gun full forward and to get back at GWS

A. Goodes Leadership,Skills very under rated in melbourne

Posted

Simon Black is a great player but is 33

Seriously, why would you pay top dollars for a 33 yo

You might if you were in a premiership window and needed more outside class but that would be the only reason

Who underrates him?

Franklin

Ablett

Robert Murphy (need his composure and maturity - he's a genuine thinking footballer)

Selwood would be ok, but how long will he last...as was mooted by Cam Mooney on AFL360.

Who said anything about top dollars? He is a star of the game that the kids can learn off for two years and he would cost nothing - he is an UFA. In terms of salary - he wouldn't be excessive.

A true crumber, a midfielder that has sooooo much time, An up and coming ruckman

Hmm. A few selections here are going to be over the hill big time by the end of their four years (eg, Black, Goodes, Bartel). I agree they are all absolute champions, but not good value on four year contracts.

My four: Cotchin, Murphy and Hawkins

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
