I don't want anyone that loses the plot when someone mentions his mum

What the f___ did you say about my mum?!

 

Outside runners with only a fleeting acquaintance to packs - we got plenty.

yes please get. adds experience and a new change might do him wonders and who knows it might also give aaron davey a bit of a spur on to fight for his spot

 

Does SNF have any journalists other than Kimbo? Nobody has a record of reporting rumours as fact like this guy.

I love this last paragraph:

Pearce is originally from Sturt in the strong SANFL and is believed to be on Melbourne’s shopping list as a free-wheeling and high sweeping forward as the Demons prepare for what is expected to be a substantial of their struggling player list.

A substantial what of our playing list? I'm not sure 'substantial' is a verb.

So he's a quad bike crossed with this guy:

And who said he's on our shopping list as a freewheeling whatchamajig? He could be on our list as a doorstop or a paperweight or a transsexual two-bit drug dealer.

Don't give up your day job, Spicy McHaggis.

Cant say Ive watched Port for a while, but I've always liked Pearce. One of those lateral moving, hard to tackle guys. All our mids except Jetta run in predictable straight lines and cough it up.

 

Yes please.

The type of midfielder we need when he is playing well. And with a fresh start I think he can do that.

His best football in front of him! Get!


I wouldn't mind picking up Pearce.

Richmond should be going very hard for Chaplin. He would be a massive inclusion for them.

Would think this guy has gone down hill in the last 3 years.

Not a great player anymore IMO but sometimes a fresh start can help.

Would be an upgrade on bennell I suppose as he gets a bit more of the ball.

Getting a player cause they get more ball than Bennell is not a good recruiting strategy. :)

Dane Swan gets more of the ball than Bennell.

Would be good in a good team. An icing on the cake guy when all of the fundamentals are in place. Not a good fit for Melbourne at this stage in my view.

I'm not a huge fan but I think he can provide a role if we got him for the right price. He could play the Davey roll circa 2008, sitting in the pocket, getting the crumbs, applying pressure.

We could just sit him next to Clark to get the crumbs when Clark cant take a mark because he has 5 defenders spoiling seen as their opponents aren't willing to do anything.

Edited by boydie

I'm 50/50 on him.

Has a lot of talent and can be a very good player, but I'm not convinced at the defensive side of his game.

Could be useful on a wing. I'd prefer we get either Jarred Moore or Shannon Byrnes as free agents to play the roving forward pocket role or maybe trade for David Ellard?

Would rather Pearce over Morton or Bennell (or both really).

He maybe be better than them but I don't want us to go down that 'Port' track, of flash in the Night Pan types.

A hard culture needs to be built off the back of hard acts buy hard players.

I reckon good get for the club if able as is right age and player type, only concern is he is a restricted free aged and may cost us although as a swap for Moloney might be possible.

If not Troy Chaplin also could be worth a look although he plays as CHB and our back 6 stocks are overflowing


One of the ways I assess an opposition player is to speak to opposition supporters who watch the player far more closely than I. If you head to the Port board on BigFooty, a large majority of Power supporters are big Pearce fans. They would be prepared to offer him a long term deal to keep him, which seems to be a sticking point in negotiations with Port at the moment.

If his own supporters rate him and want to keep him, (look how highly we rate some of our own players on this site), then he will definitely offer us something.

Danyle Pearce would be alrightt as will clinton young but young is better.

Pearce had a great season.. just doesnt shine as well as others may think because hes in a horrible team.

hed be great

From what I understand...

We are going to have plenty of spots to fill on our list.

Pearce can get plenty of the ball (in an average team) and generally has great skills and uses the ball well. He can also kick a few goals.

I'm not sure we are in a position to be so choosy. I wouldn't be comPlaining if we got him.

Would improve the skills of our team. Not sure there is any argument against that.

We struggle with a lot of things, and each player we look at will not solve all of those problems. But if a player can help us in one or two key areas and is available, we need to get him.

The question is firstly, does he make us a better team? My answer is yes.

The second question is what we will need to do to whet him? I'm not going to pretend to have any idea what the answer to that question is

 

Pearce, Young,Goddard or Knights....if we land a couple of these id be very happy, along with Toumpas Viney and Wines.

If 3 out of that 7 make an impact next year we will be vastly improved.

Getting a player cause they get more ball than Bennell is not a good recruiting strategy. :)

I didn't say it was a good idea :P

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
