Swap Jamar for Adams & a pick.

Done

Fanciful. I'd be ecstatic for merely Jamar for Adams.

Posted

Some of you seem to be smoking some good stuff. Theyll want our first pick and we might be able to get something in return like their 2nd or 3rd round pick. I'd be up for if. Rate him highly. Other clubs will surely circle too though

Geelong will be chasing hard. As they always do for their local products.

God, can you imagine that? They keep rolling, Stephen Wells has been amazing for that side.

Don't know how happy Josh Caddy is playing in the VFL.

Question is "why" come to Melbourne apart from Money or for fringe players to "get a game".

Targets as at 8 June:

- Dylan Shiel (GWS) 3years $$$

- Taylor Adams (GWS) 3years $$$

Fringe:

- Maverick Weller (Suns)

- Liam Anthony (Kangas)

- Mitch Hallahan (Hawks)

- Jarryd Lyons (Crows)

- Aiden Riley (Crows)

- Matthew Jaensch (Crows)

-Shane Savage (Hawks)

No players walk out on their club into the pre-season draft... No quality young talent does anyway.

We nearly need him to though.

Jeff White 1997, Pick 1 in 1994 ro 1995 draft 1 to Freo!

white was traded for pick #2 of the 97 draft, which was on-traded to the tigers, who selected brad ottens.

Thanks for clearing that up

Yeah you would think we could trump anything the Tigers offer. Just depends if he would want to come to Melbourne. Choco may help with that if the players at GWS loved him...

My only fear is how much time will there be between when we appoint the new senior coach and trade week?

Knowing our luck, no players will want to come to Melbourne until they know who the senior coach will be.

Posted

You would think they will have that sorted by the end of September. If not then it could cause headaches come the trade/draft period. Though I'd imagine the new coach would be given most of his information regarding current players from someone like Neil Craig or one of the assistants. I really hope our next coach ends up being is a 5+ year guy as it must be difficult having new coaches and different gameplans no wonder we are so far behind the eight ball.

If Adams has $$$ in his eyes at all, he would come to Melbourne. Front load his contract, Tigers cant afford him especially if they plan to keep Martin and Conca.

Couldn't be any worse than what we have.

That doesn't mean we should accept it.

Unless you're happy to tread water in the bottom 4.

Throw the farm at Tay Adams, but I'd only offer a mid to late 1st rounder, max.

Posted

why would we get him?

I think you guys interpreted the question wrong - I think he was saying why would he choose Melbourne not why should we get a mid. (correct me if I am wrong)

The answer: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I believe we still have some room in the salary cap - we could front load his contract (like Clark). - (give him an early birthday present)

Also it would be threatening being a mid on the GWS list (so much talent)

get it done Melbourne - chances like this are once in a blue moon - I would happily give them a pick 10 and give him Davey's salary.

Didnt work with Caddy , some players actually want to win a flag.

Given I have no care for GWS and refuse to waste 2 hours of my time to watch them play, I have never seen nor heard of this kid.

Can someone that will give a realistic appraisal of him please inform me why we should be doing our nuts over this bloke? I have them there to do, but I'm quite selective who I do them over these days.

Posted (edited)

He looks like an in and under type - am I right?
Viney, Jones, Adams and McKenzie (is that enough in and under players going forward?)

Is Mckenzie part of our future? he will at least be safe for another year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
