Melbourne has none that actually kick goals

the 'FLASH' used too, a.maric left last year, k.lawrence(rookie) never played a game but went home the other week and jetta's only got 19 from 33

whos left.........trengrove is too busy in the middle, jonesy is gettin a few but.......yer

we need goal kicking small fowards

betts would be untouchable(an too old) but is ellard??? or gartlett for the right price?

jetta, colyer or davey all fight for the same spot(davey vs davey for the crum or jetta vs jetta but dontknow if latter related)

brad hill for the hawks never gets a game (but only a first year and more of a wing)

matt cambell or linsay thomas from north may be too old and injured respectivly but both kick well one can kick goals

mitch banner port only seen a few times but wanted a trde back last year didnt get it and they havnt played him this year

jarred moore or brett meridith from the swans are a few names?

some are potentially gettable and ive missed heaps of others but they are all better than sum of the little duds we've listed in the past

think we should squeez out a supplementry small from a team with heaps or a team witch cannot use them

    Jarred Moore and Shannon Byrnes are both free agents.

    They should be top of our list.

    caint see byrnes moving would have played but injured plus on the outer age wise(28)

    jarred moore is 2 year younger less injured plus u have the come home factor yer sure not a permiership player but sydney is an elite as club too

    Adam Cockie from Sandringham who can play relief midfield

    Ben Kennedy in this years draft is one that i am red hot on. He has pace, explosive pace, has great disposal, can find the footy, is a natural small forward and is very capable in the midfield, both receiving and extracting. The only thing holding back from definite top 5 is his height. Would love to get him at pick 13, but if we are able to snag Viney with a 2nd rounder, i'd be very willing to bring Kennedy to the Dees with pick 4 after getting Toumpas with pick 3.

    Leaving pick 13 for us to draft another kid or trade to bring in another mid.

    We've already got Sam Blease, but we could definately do with another of his type, one in the middle and one in the forward line!

    Hawthorn have number of small forwards. I'd go after:

    Luke Bruest or Shane Savage or Paul Puopolo

    all in good form and sorta cult figures down there

    would take somthing big for a trade...... seriously big

    Never paid much attention too him, but hear his name on ABC VFL all the time

    does he know where the goals are??? whats he on for the year? and who else is intrested

    I know the OP didn't actually say Jetta is a small forward.... But I just want to clarify anyway.

    Neville Jetta has never been (mid for WA his entire junior career) and never will be a small forward.

    He is a midfielder, just because he isn't a giant and he is an indiginous player doesn't mean he is a small forward...

    Neville's strengths are his strong body, winning contested footy, setting up goals with clever kicks and his ability to manouver in traffic. These are strengths found in mids, not small forwards.

    I would love us to get Ben Kennedy, a small nuggety player with real Zip thru the middle & forward would be fantastic...

    If we can't get Kennedy, I wouldn't mind Travis Colyer from the Bombers. I liked what i saw of him in the U-18's a couple of years ago, li9ked his run & carry & step thru traffic.

    If we dont trade Pick 13. Im hoping Ben Kennedy will slip too us.

    GRUNDY, Kennedy & Viney would have all been SA team mates. Yes. GRUNDY!

    Adam Cockie would be a certainty for a return to an AFL list in 2013, either as a rookie or a listed player. I hear Tigers are interested in him.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
