Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Which rumor?

According to a seeming Demonland rumour, apparently an opposition recruiter said 'don't be surprised to see Coniglio in a Melbourne jumper next season'. Or some such thing.

All things and or likelihoods aside , Coniglio is pretty well just the scenario Roos seeks out. An underloved player at another club who could fill a role ( better than currently so improving the mix ) at our club.

Something like this will sought after whether he or another(s)

to get coniglio would take a near exact replica of the tyson deal, however...

not sure coniglio is worth our top5 pick on his own and i dont think gws will have as many first rnd picks to sweeten the deal

rather than go after a specialised mid i would prefer to draft next years kolajazzkneey (good kick rebounding hbf) as this is more and more the area attacking chains begin

If my read on history is anything near ok with PR he prefers a near to or ready to go who is avail as unloved underutilised or frustrated at another club in preference to a raw draftee.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if we gave up our 1st pick for a player and another lower 1st round pick. Id probably prefer that truth be known.

And GWS have an end-of-1st-round compo pick.

Just saying.

Craig bird of the swans is out of contract at the end of the year, wants to stay at the swans but the salary cap squeeze makes things difficult for them, i wonder if a second round pick might lure him down?

Re-signed until the end of 2016, I believe. Gun.

Shame, he would be one to throw everything at. Love him.

Maybe Zaharakis will look to leave as the only player to reject injections once it's all done and dusted....

As much as I would love to see him in the red & blue - probably the only Methadon player I would want in the red & blue, he has unfortunately resigned with them until the end of 2017 so wipe him off the list.

As I've stated it multiple times and recently don't mark Tom Mitchell off your lists. I think he might be a major target.

He is now in his third AFL season and since joining there have been no media releases of him signing on. So unless if he has re-signed without the public knowing, he will likely be out of contract at the years end (could potentially be next year but an initial 4 year contract is unlikely).

As of late he has struggled to crack their strong side even though he has had some phenomenal games in the seconds (could this be due to holding off contract talks... who knows that's just speculation). The Swans practically have no room in their salary cap to play with with the likes of Franklin, Tippett, Kennedy, Jack, McVeigh, and Hannebery (Goodes on the veterans list). Something has to give sooner or later.

As for originally being a F/S draftee, his father Barry also changed clubs multiple times during his career so there is nothing stopping Tom from doing the same.

As for this common chestnut that he also also friends with Jack Viney, and the Viney family it doesn't count for much but still counts for a small something.

By no means am I saying he's on the way, but as for the kind of player he is, something will have to give in Sydney's salary cap for when he falls out of contract (that's if they want to keep him).

Get Tom lynch!!!

This guy should be spoken of when talking the next big forwards coming through the ranks but he never gets a mention as it's all about the big 3 at the giants

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
