Liam Anthony, Kyal Horsley or Taylor Adams

We should be all over Taylor Adams.

Nineteen years old, averaging 21 disposals per game for GWS, a phenomenal effort considering their midfield is way less experienced than even ours and he gets zero protection.

Would gladly hand over our 2nd rounder (pick 20?) for him, but GWS would not take that.

3rd round, 5th round and 1st round(10-20)

I think Adams is most desired, the other two aren't really guys with a huge scope for improvement.

GWS are clearly targeting senior players this coming offseason, i think a player trade is more likely than a draft pick trade.

That's fair, I also forgot they have to cut their list size over the next year or 2. I wonder if they would take a fitzy, Dunn or Davis? Probably ask for gawn, hogan or frawley though won't they. I'd entertain Jordy, jamar, spencer or possibly blease or Strauss.

Sure if they'd come.

I'll prob get blasted for this comment, but I reckon bring shane tuck across for a year.

Can't get a game with the Tigers.

Clearance machine, mature body.

With our forward line next year, clearances and long bombs into the fwd line will be great for us.

Swap Jamar for Adams.

GWS want a senior ruckman, we want midfielders.

Done.

Jamar doesn't upgrade them though, he's an older version of Giles. Big, cumbersome and can break even in the middle. I'm not sure he represents value to GWS. Certainly not the same value as Adams.

They'd probably rather a guy like Stef Martin who could've given them a more complimenting role. And they'll be looking for experience but I still think they'd prefer guys with at least a few years left rather than on their last legs. Pretty much the younger the better

You really think that? He's still worthy as an AFL player because he can compete and nullify most opposition ruckman. Not every club has 2 rucks who can do that hence why Collingwood got Hudson out of retirement. But thats about it.

Just my impression, but I think the rest of the league hasn't quite caught up yet to much he's struggling and still have the perception of him as a very good ruck.

Tuck has been injured (shoulder) since round 7, on comeback trail now

Offer them Spencer for Taylor! Win-Win!

This should be our "Kennedy/McGlyn" moment where we target midfielders on the verge, but being held back by a team that already has an abundance - Think Geelong, Sydney, Fremantle.

I would suggest we look at Horlin-Smith, Christensen, Bird, Parker, Moribato, Crozier, etc.

It doesn't matter if they are contracted, contracted players get traded as well. Work out what we need e.g. inside midfielders with 3 yrs development who are not getting the opportunity (in the midfield) their form/talent deseves and then chase them hard!

Next to no chance but Christensen and Parker would be nice.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    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
