Which one should we really make a play for during the off season?

    would one swallow make a summer?

    Swallow is my choice. We need an instant lift to our midfield and he is bordering on A grade currently, probably running at A-. With Swallow, Jones, Trengove and the developing Viney and Kent, it means we have the physical capacity to stay in and around the contested ball or stoppages and not be instantly pushed aside. An Swallow is a renowned defensive spread player and this is our major midfield weakness. How many times have we seen 2 - 3 opposition players running forward of the stoppage and only 1 demon defender chasing?

    My preference:

    1. Swallow

    2. Sloan

    3. Adams

    I don't know. Does Adams Swallow?

    A statement like this has been begging for some time - congrats Choko - you are the first who could not resist the temptation!

    Aren't their doubts over Swallows knees holding up to run in the midfield ? Not sure about any Adams downside ...

    You'd think that we would do a thorough assessment of his knees before we moved on him.

    He was supposed to be an absolute gun when he was recruited, dare I say it, a generational player.

    Swallow hands down! Adams is good although at times a little overrated.

    I see Adams as the Josh Caddy of last year, he is potentially available so everyone from every club want him, therefore he must be insanely good...

    Would one swallow make a relationship?

    Both, plus Conca and Sloane.....biggest player coup since Barrassi went to North.

    They will follow the great man.

    He's superior to Josh Caddy.

    Adams is actually able to find the footy where as even when Caddy was at Gold Coast and much hyped he struggled to find the footy.

    I am of the belief that Adams is a way better pickup

    It depends on what you have to pay.

    All things being equal the answer is Swallow, but that doesn't inhibit my thoughts on Adams, who I'd also love to get.

    Getting both would be a cunning stunt.

    I bet miss Upton has a stunning... personality.

    I'd prefer Swallow, but based on draft position and development, he would cost far more than Adams.

    Pick 2 for Adams and pick 10 is more appealing than Swallow for pick 2

    We can't put all our eggs in the basket of a young-ish midfielder. We're better off getting 2-3 young prospects such as Adams and a Freeman/Bontempelli in the draft rather than just swallow

    Although Pick 2 and 21 for Swallow and pick 8 is very appealing

    Or instead aren't there?

  • Quote

    Swallow has the upside to become a genuine elite mid like his brother, when he was drafted most recruiters thought he would be even better than his brother, hence selection at pick 1

    Adams looks a good player but not sure he has as much improvement in him as Swallow

    would be thrilled if we somehow got both.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
