What I've seen I've liked. Likes the physical stuff, can kick a goal.

I sense a Jack Trengove retort coming on ...

No, I've done that.

Caddy can play and we've heard he's going in for a shoulder operation, so he's been playing hurt.

Also, I read from a Gold Coast supporter that he hasn't had any inside support this year from Rischitelli, Swallow, or Prestia. When I combine those bits of information, plus having seen him dominate against Geelong he seems a good target.

That said, I reckon you're just as likely to get a better player at pick 13. So at what cost does he come to the club ?

Well, I see two advantages to coughing up pick 13 for him.

1. Pick 13 may turn out to be as good or better. But then again there's a risk there that he won't. With Caddy we know what we're getting. No surprises.

2. Caddy has already done a two year apprenticeship and can hit the G running from round 1 next season.

Would the Suns settle for just pick 13 for him? That's the question.

Id be wrapt if get Monfries and Pearce, hope fully one or two others as well,maybe Knights.

Experienced players who can use the ball is what we need, mix those with the youth we pick up in the draft, and its an injection of 5 or 6 new guys into the team, who will be wanting to prove themselves.

After landing Mitch Clark last year, i have faith in Neelds plans.

Where did you get the idea that it was in Neeld's plans to get Monfries?

Edit: I omiited a critical word

Sorry...is this a Caddy or a Monfries thread?

My money is on Byrnes.

Hope we could do better. 29 at start of season and averages less than 1 goal per game. This year 4 games and 1 goal. Hardly flattering stats.

Hope we can do better also. But looking at available small forwards, I don't see many. Unless we trade Martin for a Blair or Fasolo.

This is simple, draft Kennedy and you have both a very good crumbing small forward as well as a quick midfielder. Bringing him to the club is just about as important as getting Toumpas here.

Is this a done deal for us? I would take Monfries and Pearce in a heartbeat.

Interesting that this deal was a trade rather than a free agent pick up.

Port didn't dilute their compensation for Chaplin and Pearce and essendon got something back which they would not have otherwise because of picking up Goddard.

I wonder why we didn't do something similar with the cats for Byrnes? Perhaps his value is so low that it wouldn't impact our compensation. But you would think we would be in a similar position to the them particularly if the cats get rivers who's value is greater than Byrnes so they will not get any compo. But you wouldn't want anything diluting our compo if it can be avoided.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
