Three Player Wish List


Range Rover

Recommended Posts

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

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

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.

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 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.

I've got some great jousting sticks - only $500 - Interested?

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

Maths not your. Strong suite? ;-)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
