would you be happy that instead of chasing Daisy Thomas (which would be a long shot) to pay overs for Dom Tyson and try to lure Taylor Adams

    Who we assemble off field will be far more important than any far fetched what ifs on field.

    I would be happy if the MFC actual won more then 14 games in a season.

    absolutely... i'm not truly convinced on daisy & his health as well. I'd rather an older mature player from the Cats & the Hawks... not convinced by the pies culture either.

    I would love to get those 2 over the line, & would consider blease packaged with watts & a pick,,, or + another mature player.

    Absolutely, we'd have to pay 900k to get thomas, i'd rather offer them 450 k each for 5 years and lure them back to vic.

    and to satisfy the trade, Jack watts, Mark Jamar and pick 21?

    Tyson signed back on with them, my hope is Aish with pick 2, PP at 3 for an established player, trade Watts to Carlton for pick 9 and swap that pick to GWS for Taylor Adams.

    Hogan is the next Carey!! And in not talking about Peter!

    Watts to Carlton for pick 9? If its clear Watts is not committed to MFC where do we sign? Carlton could not be that silly...well they did cough pick 12 for McLean..

    I've got a feeling they would need a bit more for Adams. Watched him today and is the antithesis of Jacky boy. Relentless.

    They would want to say yes to coming to us first..

    At this point, I'd be happy if we won more than 4 games in a season.

    I'd be reluctant to trade Watts. But i'd be very happy to drop pick 21 and Jamar.

    I think everyone agrees with that?

    Watts to Carlton for pick 9? If its clear Watts is not committed to MFC where do we sign? Carlton could not be that silly...well they did cough pick 12 for McLean..

    I'm not convinced that i'd want to get rid of Jack Watts. With pick 9 though, i'd definitely trade pick 9 for Dom Tyson and there second round pick? (with GWS)

    They would want to say yes to coming to us first..

    Well, Tyson isnt getting a game at GWS and i am convinced that he will be a star!

    Adams doesnt want to sign at this stage, so clearly he wants out.

    THOMAS cost too much,breakdown a lot and we would turn him into crap.Adams o.k

    Get CRIPPS and SHEEDS from WA as they are tough. M.JONES,C.SYLVIA, and J.McKENZIE to go.

    N.JONES,TRENGOVE forward line,GRIMES defence,FITZY wing.EVANS,KENT with more training as possible mids.

    Our midfield except viney where truly shown up against FREO.

    I am still having a laugh at the dude who said I am glad you do not pick the side...we lost to the KANGAS by 20 goals.

    EADE has been interviewed by the Dees,why go any further.Nothing like suspense.

    I cant believe you just rate Adams as ok, yet you're wanting to pick up players who havent played

    I would be happy if I turned up to the football and saw a game that wasn't all over by three quarter time.

    I will be happy when i have a football club that gives its supporters value for money and decides to answer members questions at the yearly AGM.

    Would be happy with that though I feel they may want pick 9 for Daisy and give us Yarren for Watts. I personally don't want Yarren. Interesting trade period ahead.

    either they offer us pick 9 or we trade him to gws for pick 10

    Pick 11 if my memory serves me correctly.

    Still managed to stuff it up though, given that we should've picked Lewis Jetta, Talia or Bastinac (or, to be fair, Tapscott - pick 18) with that pick.

    But our own brand of professional recruiters obviously knew more that the Emma Quayles of the world.

    And that's why it's especially gut wrenching to see Richmond and North right now.

    I feel like shooting myself.

    If dont get at least three or four top quality mids, we will have another pathetic year.

    Ron, put the gun down.....

    The trade was good. What we did with the pick was diabolical I agree.

    Strap yourself in for another year slightly less promising than the last.

    Not if we manage to lure some good on ball talent, if we dont however then i agree with you.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
