    I don't reckon Neeld and co are overlooking anything. They will talk with every club and seek advantage at every point.

    The sooner Rivers and Moloney make their minds up, the sooner we get an idea of what our free agency compo would likely be and can make a better decision about whether to dilute or lose it with further free agency signings.

    I'm a big wrap for Jordan Russell. Haven't heard much about him. Maybe I'm one of a select few who think he is worth chasing?

    You're not the only one. I rate him and would be handy across the HB line.

    Clinton Young was rumoured to have toured Collingwood yesterday. He would be great for us out on a wing/hff.

    I was trying pretty hard to forget them, actually.

    Why??

    just because some of them didnt work at their respective clubs, doesnt mean they wont dominate at Melbourne

    Tarnished forever by that fumble in the goal square that gifted jack a goal.

    Clinton Young as a free agent would be a great signing. Unsure why MFC is not keen. He has premiership glory. Surely a 2-3yr deal with MFc at good coin would entice. Very classy and has the pace we need.

    This decision may be hanging on, & hinging from the Farren Ray decision,

    I guess it would depend on the order of our things.

    Players we are forgetting, taggert, Tynan, Gysberts, Strauss, all missed 2012 for certain reasons......add this to Viney, pick 4 and pick 20 and our midfield options are looking better to me, in terms of improvement.

    Ontop of a base of Jones, Grimes, Sylvia, Mckenzie, Blease, Howe edit Trengove

    Edit again with Tapscott, Bail, Magner, Evans, Nicho

    Hopefully we can make a decent midfield out of all this?

    We are getting there

    + Trenners to that base too.

    Yes just came back hoping nobody had noticed.....so sorry trenners

    Jordan Russell? Yuk!

    Stepping stones Grun dee.

    We tried the youth build but forgot about the need for a strong culture, to underpin the whole foundations.

    So we are left with some fine young men who have an enormous job to lift the club, off the back of not much more than excellent characters.

    We need IMO, to shift many older players, as they have learnt the ways of the old culture.

    Bringing in some mature players from successful clubs should help to set in train the new ways.

    Jordan Russell would be a good get. He'd give us drive out of the backline, something we struggle with at the moment due to an abundance of talls and poor kicks.

    Wouldn't bother with the rest of those names though.

    The rookies at Geelong three played games and now may get delisted, excess mids e.g Jordan Schroder

    Young players from those clubs who would be playing at mfc could benefit from a new home

  • Quote

    Certainly keen on Russell.

    I'd be keen to take a punt on Steven Salopek also as cost would be very minimal and he'd certainly fit a need with the ability to play as an inside and outside midfielder.

    With Byrnes already tucked away, fingers crossed we can land a KPF (Dawes, Gumby or Brown) and Farren Ray and we've suddenly obtained that experience we're looking for.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
