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!

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
