Offer the man a 1.5 million dollar 7 year deal.

Won't get another chance like this in a long time.

I hope that this is actually being discussed at HQ.

    nah mate, got Dawes, Clark and Hogan.

    We got enough. Just gotta get players who can get the ball down to them, and get the ball down to them with decent kicks.

    Buddy isn't the answer to our woes, believe me.

    We have Clark, Dawes, Hogan.

    No.

    Nah, we would be better off spending that money on possibly 2 A grade Mids.

    Lance Franklin could be a Gary Ablett level midfielder if he played entire games there.

    PS Stop it with the bloody gifs!

    I will say that the area where we fall down hard is in our deliveries into about 60-40 metres from goal. Whether that's because of our forwards or our mids I'm not sure (largely because our real forward line has yet to play this year), but either way getting Franklin would allow us to shift our players so that either he or Clark could play the role of high half-forward who gives us that all-important kick inside 50.

    I'm for it.

    I'm gobsmacked that some supporters can't see that we need to go after midfielders.

    Would be great insurance if Hogan gets injured.

    Yes but who are these A grade midfielders. Where are they going to come from!?

    Do we wait years before the kids get there?

    If anyone can give me a viable plan to 'get' these A grade midfielders I'm all ears...

    Dale Thomas ( free agent ) Dion Prestia ( pre season draft ) the priority pick we are likely to get plus Jack watts would make some decent trade bait!

    I can say with Absolute confidence we have a better chance of getting Thomas and prestia plus potentially two more than we have of buddy even entertaining an offer from us without AFL assistance.

    That Lance Franklin would be a Gary Ablett level midfielder if he played entire games there. Point to me where I said we should get him as a midfielder. You can't, because I didn't.

    If you want to know, I think we should get him for the Mitch Clark role. I would then put Clark on one wing, with Jack Watts on another. Both of them would have the job of delivering the ball inside 50 to Franklin and Dawes.

    Find the place where I said "we should get Lance Franklin and play him in the midfield." Do that and I'll give you a million dollars. Point to this post as the place where I said it and you will have proved how dumb you are.

    Clearly that is what you're saying. Unless by "Gary Ablett level midfielder" you mean 3rd or 4th tall option in the forward line....

    Now...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
