in comparison to the other skills of the game, goalkicking is one of the easiest to fix. by training with the other forwards, as well as coaching from leigh brown, hogan could easily develop a new routine that would lead to more reliable kicking. if that's the only problem in his game then i don't think we have much to worry about if we pick him up

especially when he's younger, like a 17 Yr old.

The aggro at the heavy contests, & a feel for the game itself, are harder to find. Footy IQ + some mongrel.

I don't think it is that easy; it would be great if we could to have a player like Cloke, Riewoldt or Richardson, but they have all suffered from an inability to convert over their careers and it has made them lesser players than Dunstall, Lockett and Carey for example. If it was that easy they would have fixed it.

It depends if you want a full forward goal shooter, of a tough CHF roaming around casing mayhem. Lloyd was a goalshooter, richo was a combo, JRiewoldt seems to better inside 50.

It sounds to me like the boys a hard nut Who catches everything in his vicinity.

I was meaning Nick, Jack is a long way off the players I mentioned.

But be that as it may the weekends game and Buddy just highlight how difficult it is to get the kicking right and how it can cost in the big games.

...and having said that, if he was half as good as Buddy he would be a good get. I'm not sure we have the luxury of picking up a player for 2014 although I'm getting a bit philosophical (more to the point worn out by all the BS being talked by the key players and reporters in this trade period, it's only day 4) about the whole thing now and will just see what happens.

It seems as if we are interested in Jesse so pick 3 or 4 might be on the table.

http://www.afl.com.a...64/default.aspx

Speculation of Dogs giving 5 & 6 to GWS and getting a pick or player back, plus first MD pick. Further that Dogs would then go for Martin. In fact they may go for Hogan as they also need a KPF.

Whoever they take, what would that then value MD pick 2 at. Pick 4 is better than either 5 or 6 but clearly not as good as both but need to deduct what comes back their way. Pick 4 is better than anyone other than GC could give. MD 2 is clearly less than MD 1. I think this will make for an interesting negotiation. Could we offer 4 for MD 2 with something back our way? It will also depend on Dogs letting us know who they will take with MD 1, so we can value MD 2.

Side benefit is that GWS knowing we are interested but only if Viney goes later so we can still use 3. Downside may be that we are giving pick 4 now on a player who can't play for a year and might actually slide in his own draft year making it a big overpayment.

Oh the fun of being a Recruiter and List Manager.

Still seems there is speculation as to whether Kelly or Hogan will be the second mini draft selection. Josh has performed well at the combine so far; just set the second fastest 3km time ever recorded (9:48) whilst also placing in top 5 for repeated sprints. I'll be happy with either not so sure some others on this board would be.

Hogan has to be our target. Has all the sise and athletic ability of a very very good power forward.

I would trade our pick 4 for him.

The talk has been the dogs and Martin but as "Redleg" says they may go Hogan. My bet would be on Hogan as they are crying out for a big forward and have enough skinny kids of their own. I think there will only be one MD player taken unless GC get into the act or GWS are prepared to take bids from further down the pecking order.

FFS.

I couldn't trade pick 3 or 4 for the rights to him quick enough.

Only problem is the doggies entering the picture.

I think the reported interested in Jack Martin is a ruse and they have their eyes on Hogan.

KPF is their biggest need.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
