sounds more like a nightmare, you need to upgrade your dreams young fella.

I think he is referring to his 16 year old self being a small forward and being drafted to the Dees is his dream...

    I don't mind this idea. We lack small forwards and fostering competition between Kent and Nahas wouldn't be a bad thing.

    Except it will be competition between Nahas and Nathan Page

    You might be right there 'rpfc', I thought it was a bit strange dreaming of Nahas playing for the dees. Sorry 'deeman', that's a good dream to have but make sure you can play in the midfield then drift forward to kick a few.

    Not a criticism of Kent, more of the scenario he was placed in. I went back and checked and in the club's post draft summary he was presented as an inside mid with speed. He played pre season as a mid/wing and Casey as a Wing resting HFF.

    He gets elevated to the 1's to play FP.. Its not his fault we literally had noone to play, but it was clear it wasn't his position. I'd be very surprised if you saw him lining up as a full time FP under Roos this year.

    I truly believe it's the one position on the ground you cannot teach. The resting midfielder who goes forward never plays as a crumbing forward, always a floating type.. Swan goes forward often marks it but you'd rarely see him at the feet of Cloke.

    I know I'm rambling now, but my point is I respect Kent for having a crack last year, but they're asking him IMO to play one of the most specialist positions on the ground with no idea how to do it.

    Kent's far more potential to be a better player than Nahas, but Round 1 sadly I'd much prefer the Lebanese Prince.

    Agreed - forward pocket isn't just a position for rotating midfielders. I think it would be worth looking into getting a true forward pocket - small, agile quick, defensive and very clean.

    A decent small forward would be easier to acquire than a mid. I don't think its the most important of position to fill just yet. We could try getting one with a late pick in this draft or in next years draft or next years trade period.

    As said I don't see Kent as a forward pocket long term - probably a mid/wingman maybe a high forward.

    Jetta and Byrnes fill the position for now.

    Small forwards aren't that hard to come by so I wouldn't get Nahas if he has a question mark over his head.

    Somebody was suggesting on the Rumour Mill that we have already signed Nahas but have not announced him yet, much like the Cross situation.

    Kent's different to Nahas....why the comparison?

    Kent will develop into a huge clearance machine, Nahas is a stay at home small forward.

    Davey and The Wiz were the last two to fulfil this role well...

    Liam Jurrah and Austin Wonaeamirri went all right...until they moved on with their lives.

    Delisted FA, get it done.

    The thing is I dont think he is actually delisted yet. I think thatll happen with first list lodgements on thursday. is probably why Cross hasnt been announced yet either.

    Didn't we squash the Nahas nonsense several months ago?

    Agreed but the Wiz often found himself a long way from home - never stopped him though just meant he had to run a little further (the length of the ground).

    Oh did we? Guess we cant recruit him now!, A bunch of demonlanders dont like the idea.

    What a load of garbage! If we sign this bloke I'll turn in my membership! So that is a no from me! Why not take the gamble on Garlett, another Jeff framer in the making, just slightly taller.

    Nahas appears to have fallen out of favour with the coach, like Ball did with Lyon and more recently Savage with Clarkson.

    Had kicked 97 goals from 77 games coming into this season and he's 25.

    I'd be happy with getting him as a Delisted FA.

    No he isn't a picture maker. I meant Jeff Farmer

    Not worthy of pick 9 and unlikely to be available at pick 40, how exactly would the "gamble on Garlett" happen?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
