Do you love a hypothetical?

How does Rodney Eade sound as coach sound if he could persuade Ryan Griffin to play for the red and blue and help out our midfield.

Or even less unlikely Choco Williams if he can persuade Dustin Martin?

Lets look deeper then just the coaching skills.

Imagine a Paul Roos what type of players he knows and has a good working relationship with.

 

Lets look deeper then just the coaching skills.

No. Let's not. Neeld got us Dawes and Jason Taylor, didn't mean he could coach...

 

Eade might help us land Daniel Cross as a free agent.

Williams could help us get Adam Kingsley as an assistant coach.

But I think that's about as exciting as it would get for either

If Choco could get us Dustin Martin, I'd personally drag his arse into the club. Good coach + gun midfield combo = winner.

But, will not happen in a million years.


By all reports dustin will only get a two year deal give him a four year deal to come with chocko

 

Are you really starting a "lets get Martin" thread? Yes it's a hypothetical but seriously....

Maybe if we got Leigh Matthews, he could get Simon black to come play for us?

Or woosha could get Daniel Kerr over for us????

Nah sorry I don't mean to take the pizz. I was only thinking a few weeks back how I can't wait for a feel good footy story to come out of our club. Seems everything is player exodus, neeld sacking, poor finances.

Would love to read about Jeremy Howe kicking 5 in a quarter to drag us over st kilda, or jimmy toumpas getting 35possies as well as shutting down dal santo.

Or I could go on believing in the tooth fairy. All seem as believable lately!


As if Martin would want to come to us after overlooking him. Infact he is probably glad now he didn't get picked up. Martin turned down a massive contract from GWS so cant see why he would come to us.

Can I attempt to refocus this thread because it's gone off the rails. We aren't getting a Dustin Martin or Ryan Griffen but the OP has some merit.

When Ross Lyon went to St Kilda Roos gave him a parting gift of a trade of Schneider and Shaun Dempster. 2 role players who were on the fringes at Sydney but who became very useful saints and helped St Kilda make it to consecutive grand finals. When he went to Freo he took Zac Dawson with him and the saints now are devoid of a decent key backman whilst Dawson allows McPharlin and Michael Johnson to play on lesser opponents are take intercept marks and attack. When Clarkson landed the Hawthorn gig he recognised the talent he saw in Brent Guerra and got him over and same goes for Stephen Gilham from Port.

Now Richmond undoubtedly have more stars and a few more advanced kids than us and by adding some recycled types in Chaplin, Knights, Petterd, A. Edwards they are potential taking games away from some hidden gems on their list. We've seen Richmond get success with Houli, Maric and Grigg as cheap buys who now are clear best 22.

Fringe players for the right price (3rd round pick or lower) that could come with a coach:

Eade: Coll:
Brent Macaffer - Only 25 and can play forward or as a tagger and has a clear work rate edge on most of our players. With Bucks pushing a mini rebuild could be a chance to be out of best 22 like Dawes

Ben Sinclair - has been converted from forward to back and is behind Marley Williams, Heath Shaw, Paul Seedsman for a small defenders role when although lack of depth keeps him in the frame

WB: Jason Tutt and Christian Howard are two recruited under Eade who haven't been sighted, not sure how well they are tracking though

Williams: GWS:
Taylor Adams - is the obvious one who hasn't resigned yet and has the hard edge Chocko probably loves

Rich: Astbury and Griffiths are two big key defenders fighting for the same spot behind preferred options in Rance, Chaplin, Bachelor and Grimes

Could Nahas rediscover his best form with a free run for our small forward spot - I doubt it but some might have more faith

Brad Helbig looked good in his debut season but has been rarely sighted since

Is Shane Tuck finally passed his use buy date at the tigers and could he be a good culture and work rate infuence on our midfield ie. a better Rodan.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
