One midfielder I reckon we should go after is Lukey Dahlhaus.

Just the type we need and i think he will only get better, can be Ablett like at times.

Id throw the big bucks at him, that the doggies couldn't match.

I agree but he is signed until 2015.

Dogs have built their entire junior membership around him with the Dahlhaus Dogs.

They identified him early as a long term player for them.

Is his contract up this year? Like Bob Murphy, he's one player I've had high regard for from the first time I saw him play.

We should go after Nat Fyfe and go after him hard.

He is on another level to any of the young brigade in the AFL, maybe other than Steele.

He might embrace the change, WA gets stale and Vic is the place to be as far as football goes.

Other players to chase, Rory Sloane and Dylan Shiel.

These top clubs aswell, they can't keep all their players, especially Collingwood.

If we trade Jamar, get rid of Sylvia and Davey, we'd be able to throw a stack at a premier midfielder.

Essendon got Goddard, so we should be trying to get an A grader.

^^^^^^^

Dylan Shiel is a very good mid in the making and probably the only likely target out of this group. Fyfe is no chance he is a country boy so Perth is in no way stale to him, Sloane well don't think he was impressed when available and told we would take him only to be overlooked for Bennell. If you want to go hard for a midfielder from the West go for Shuey but another one hard to get

Yeah, the expansion clubs need to be raided.

Any of the three would be a great pickup, with the forward line we have if we improve our midfield we then take the pressure off the backs and give dawes clark and hogan great supply and we are suddently a very different team

The issue with expansion clubs is that they have bigger caps and space to match us if they need to.

I can only seeing us land a player from these clubs if the player is adamant they want out to Melbourne.

Go for Nate Fyffe - absolute gun. His awareness makes his skill look even better. And he mark.

Yep yep yep absolutely this kid is pure silk.Has the je ne sais quoi to market a club around.

Would love Fyfe but what would it take/we be willing to give up to make it happen?

Posted

No offence, but you're all living in fantasy land. Dalhaus, Fyfe, Shiel & Sloane would all be considered untouchable by their clubs.

Fyfe is a superstar and if his shoulder sees out the season, he'll be considered a top 10 player in the comp, he's that good. I think the only way we could get Fyfe off Freo would be if we offered Hogan, and obviously that's not going to happen.

No more likely to leave than Evans is for us, coming through from rookies tends to do that to a player. I like the guy but he's never leaving the Dogs.

Isn't Dangerfield a big Melbourne supporter? He is from Victoria, but unfortunately signed with the Crows in 2012 for another 3 more years...

Posted

A lot of people on here are absolute dreamers. How the hell would we get any of Fyfe, Sloane, Dahlhaus or Shiel to the club? Unfortunately we currently don't have much to offer clubs either than a little money. We are going to be much more likely to pick up disgruntled/unrequired players from other clubs a la Dawes.

I'd love to get Thomas but I doubt he will want to come to us unless we start to win a few more games. The fact is we are going to have to pick up more players like Byrnes and Rodan who can add a bit of experience until we are winning more. Another option is to look for guys like Koby Stevens who can't get a game at their current club. He's no world beater but he is tough and we need some more contested ball winners.

Posted

As sad as I am to say it, why would any of these blokes choose to come to the MFC? It's hardly an appealing destination given our current state where in between leaping from one crisis to the next, we play some of the worst football on record.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
