Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Mitchell imo is ahead of zac Jones and Brandon Jack, the swans clearly think he needs to work on an area of his game and he is developing that in the seconds

Well cameron fits the profile for that small article in the herald sun. With the money we gain from

Clark and frawley which seems likely.. We'd have around 1.2mil to 1.3mil to play with. He'd be worth every cent for around that amount

Whats Whitfields status? He is exactly what we need in our midfield.

your right. Toumpas is being taught. defence, composure, attitude, mental toughness, all the things a talented skilled kid has had easier than many, & maybe hasn't learnt Yet.

but you wouldn't trade him for Dangerman?

Yes, i would trade him for Dangerfield...but i don't think Adelaide would.

As a midfielder he probably is, but neither of those players get significant time in the midfield. Zac Jones has been playing as a small defender/ tagger and Brandon Jack has been playing as a forward (and he has bucket loads of pace).

Do you think we would need to offer all of that? and how many years?

because he is still young, and so far, he hasn't produced a form like a buddy (10 mil 9 years?)

or ablett 9 mi for 5 years apparently.

Hasn't roos implied he doesn't really run with paying one player a large amount?

anyway, i was thinking 3-3.5 mil for 4 years isnt a bad deal.

4.8 mil for 4 years is a lot for a kid whose played some good footy, but not a superstar as yet.

I reckon it'd have to be a 5mil over 5 years type deal... We did pay Clark $800k and to be honest he had never set the world on fire apart from maybe one season. I wouldn't think Cameron 1mil a year would be overs he is the best young forward we've seen in awhile. Imagine him and hogan together upfront

your right though, what he and hogan could be would be worth it.

it'd be a powerful forward line.

might allow pedersen to go back and be that hard bodied contested backman.
jeremy mighty be able to come up forward again or swing.

Add one more classy mid e.g. perhaps sheil ( which i personally see as unlikely) and we could be that much better next season.

Cameron would be brilliant to have, but another solid tall forward (even just an up and comer like Levi Casboult) would be a very handy addition.

Another classy young mid would also be great but I think the real improvement will come with adding a few hard working, hard running types that lift the standard of the bottom six players in the team. You're only as good as your bottom six.

In fairness to Jones and Jack, Mitchell would be ahead of most blokes in the league.

Kid is a hell of a talent, just an absolute ball magnet. He'd automatically be our second best player behind Jones.

It's Patton.

Any inside info on this ? Cameron would be a dream, 17 other clubs would want him so I'm not sure if we'd be his first priority. If it is Patton then we pay him half of what we pay cameron and use the other half on another young mid.. Win win

that wasn't the question, the question was would you let him go for a Dangerman deal. Adelaide don't want to lose anything, as we all don't.

But a deal of P-4 + Toumpas might tempt them if Danger wanted to come to Vic.

#ps I'm not in a hurry to see the back of the Toump, just trying to see what we would be prepared to do for a player such as Dangerfield, or similar.

It could just as likely be Treloar or Shiel, but would love Cameron. Imagine Cameron, Hogan and Dawes as third string. JKH, Salem and Kent at their feet. I like it. I like it a lot. We need to improve that midfield though.

EDIT. I'd be happy enough with Patton, but obviously would prefer Cameron. Also, I'm assuming that Hogan would have to ruck in that system? Currently, Pederson does, but Dawes won't want to and isn't suited to it.

That would tempt them, South Australian's rated Toumpas VERY highly.

I actually think that is a good deal for Adelaide. Toumpas will be a quality AFL player.

As good as Dangerfield is, if he wanted out, that is a good deal.

Are you for real?

I didnt see the post on the previous page, so calm your [censored] champ

Anyway...

Back on topic, I hope it is Jeremy Cameron and if we offer him 1 million a year it will be worth every cent

That would be a dream.

A dream for him - $1m a season in his fourth season ? That's Tom Scully foolishness.

He will come with a large price tag - but $1M per season. hmmmm

    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
