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?

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.

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..

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?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
