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.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
