Beau Wilkes

The Panglossian
in Melbourne Demons

Does anyone at Demonland know Wilkes' contract status?

He killed us at Sandy and twice in the AFL this season.

He's the same size as David Neitz, a strongmark and an accurate kick.

The Saints have quite a few key forwards, so he lacks opportunities.

Is their any way we can chase him?(eg offer them Jamar in return?)

    couldn't offer Jamar.

    He has recently re-signed for 3 years

    We don't have anyone not contracted worth a trade.

    No way.

    Belongs with Kent Kingsley in the 'Duds who only play well against Melbourne' hall of fame.

    You can still trade players who are contracted

    Wilkes is the perfect example why Cook will never make it. Wilkes is a really good VFL key forward, but a fringe AFL player.

    Wilkes. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Sigh.

    I know were desperate for a few older players to teach the younger ones a thing or two.. but ffs the man is nearly 50.. no thanks.

    Scott Watters drafted him because he rates him. I dont think the saints would be interested in getting rid of him.

    Also he's not any better than average to begin with IMO

    His two best games were against us and aside from that he was playing mostly in the twos, so nah.

    Don't worry about Wilkes, I say we got and get the Q stick! Big Lynch! the glove man!

    I hope so :unsure: Wilkes is borderline AFL quality at best. JJC must've only seen him the games he played against us.

    I thought he was pretty impressive against Carlton in round 23 .....I saw that.

    So the four times I saw him he was pretty instrumental in his side's victory.

    How old is he? I thought he was about 25, but he's certainly not worth considering if he's older than that.

    Wilkes....for Jamar......you're kidding.....right?

    i would jamar is the ''donuts disposal'' king.. atleast wilkes can take a mark and kick goals.

    He's 26 and has been in the system on and off since 2004. He's the avatar for players stuck between levels.

    Exactly half his career goals have come against us. Says more about us then it does him.

  • Quote

    He kept Kosi out of the team in the last couple of games.

    Nuff said, really.

    Did you see Kosi's last game/this year? Kosi looks done, I think Lucas Cook would be holding Kosi out of spot....

    A swap for Dunn is all I would offer. He's probably still contracted.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
