Dale Thomas and Mark Lecras yes please!

I really think we should have a fair old crack on GWS with some of there kids. hearing rumours Will Hoskin Elliot and Dom Tyson will be looking to come home at years end.

Midfielders please. Inside and out mids. Some experienced, around 25-27 year mark, and a couple of youngish 21-22 yr olds. And another high draft pick mid. Not too much to ask Santa, is it?

None of the above.

Very tall athletic ruckman to deiver to Grimes, Viney, Jones,Toumpas and maybe Frawley.

Giddy up!

Dom Tyson for Gws has or about to sign a new contract.

We need mids, mids and more mids. Maybe classy back flanker also.

I hope you are not suggesting we T are you moonshadow?

I rate Ellis. Injury prone but has the outside game the club needs. Foot skills are very good and struggles to fit into a midfield that is stacked with talent. He should not cost too much. He also plays well in finals. Players who step up in important games are hard to find.

As much as i would like Xavier Ellis, i highly doubt that Hawthorn would let him go. Think he is pretty highly regarded at the club.

LeCras yes, but cannot see any reason for him to leave a successful club. Thomas the same. Buddy too expensive, and if he goes anywhere, which i highly doubt, i think it will be to WA.

Nathan Van Berlo is the captain of the Crows, and there is absolutely no way he will leave.

As DD36 said, we'd be much better off targeting players from GWS, or the Gold Coast. It's going to be hard for them to fit everyone in.

 

Ellis maybe a victim of the Buddy Franklin contract leehow. He could be one of a few Hawks other clubs may pounce on. If the MFC are smart they will be in the ear of a few Hawks offerring reasonable money.

If the club shows some very good improvement on field, we may look like a club that could intice a player like Ellis. He is always on the fringe come selection

Wouldn't mind a crumbing small forward to be at the feet of the big guys we now have up there. I hope we don't end up being too tall (Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Pedersen...)

So in that list, not a lot standing out for that role. LeCras maybe, but he plays tall, more of a lead up. Wouldn't mind Eddie Betts who will be a free agents but highly doubt he will leave Carlton.

LeCras, if he's bodies OK.

We need a quality midfielder who has played around 100 games and guys like Dale Thomas and Xavier Ellis certainly fit the brief. Wouldn't think Buddy would be a chance and Van Berlo is captain of the Crows but I'm certainly open to the possibility of Lecras.

There's another midfielder from hawthorn who is a free agent. Tough as nails, big frame, decent tank, plays with a

Bit of sh!t in him, knows success!!

Same draft as buddy, and could definitely be a squeeze if buddy's staying!!

Lewis?? He is tough. I like watching him play. But I reckon he would be loyal.. And would stick with the hawks..

Sorry, but I couldn't resist simply because I like this toon (but I would be happy for us to take LeCras and Thomas):

... you forgot the Webber barbie?

Haven't seen a ball kicked in anger for 2013, think the team is already crap so start a thread about what may eventuate in 8 to 9 Months time.....amazing......we have already recruited to fix the perceived shortcomings in the midfield....or I think we have

I think you're being a bit over-sensitive here... these are players who are coming up for free agency so despite possibly being a bit premature, the thread does have relevance. We were obviously limited in the number of players we could recruit and hardly have expected to cover all shortcomings in one year.

Hey, that would be like cutting off Sampson's hair... how do you think he manages to take those marks where he seems to float above the pack?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
