Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

If I didn't barrack for MFC I would put Viney behind McRae, Wines, Libba and Bontempelli. Bye the bye Libba senior was in Seminyak this week. Stayed at the Breezes Hotel/Resort.. The weather was fantastic.

Bontempelli has had a few good games, but it's unfair to say that he's proven more than Viney.

Libba is definitely ahead of Viney.

Agree totally at this stage but all 3 are very good footballers

Having said that I think Tyson at his best is as good as any of them, but he is a little bit hot and cold, Wines and Mcrae are playing like 150 gamers consistently, I know it's a topic to avoid on here, I have faith in Jimmy but wow would Wines be handy in our side

Did you go out with him and get a display of his white line fever. Or has he cleaned up his act for good

Viney can burst out of packs with regularity, i havent seen Wines or Macrae do that. Macrae has received alot of flack for possession use.

Viney can run into two players and keep gonig.

He is a rare breed in inside ball

Wines can run into 4 players and keep going.

Viney needs alot of work on his disposal efficiency.

Sorry but your wrong on this one.

Tyson has had a pretty hard tag most weeks too

Wines ahead of Viney by quite a margin.

That isn't a slight on Viney, he was injured much of last year.

I think Jack Viney needs to work on slowing his game down at times.

McRae finds a lot of space, because he isn't rushed, same as Bontempelli.

After hawks v swans block buster... any players from these lists would be welcome.

Gary Rohan impressed me and if available, would be handy!!!

Rohan showed a lot tonight and there is more to him than pace, certainly worth keeping an eye

Seems much better suited down back. Plays like Blease when forward. All pace, no idea. But down back he has height and strength so can be a really good two way player.

Is Shuey injured? Haven't seen or heard of him for a while... Clearly when he plays well, the Eagles look great... He's a rock solid player and i definitely target him in a trade, if he could come back 100%... Same with Richard Douglas...

I saw a bit of him tonight in snippets & IMO looks ready to show up. getting reg games now, so may be hard to convince to move?

Some interesting reading on GWS' border protection worries:

Interesting article! It would be great if Roos was able to secure Cameron and/or Shiel come year's end!

Dayne Beams Is OOC next season and a free agent,

would be interested to see if some big dollars could get his interest, Collingwood might feel pick 3 or 4 is far better than the compo they would get next year if any.

Is he a FA though? I thought it's a min 8 yrs service for FA eligibility? Bumper crop next year either way. Dangerfield the big name, but Scott Selwood would be a terrific addition to our midfield. Not flashy, but can get the ball and is a tackling machine. We enquired about him when we floated pick 2 last year, I wonder if we've kept tabs on him?

His free agency status is currently up in the air, but i'd say there is a very strong chance next years crop the minimum is 6 years because of the huge push for that, which brings Beams right into the mix

I don't think there is a very strong chance at all, even the AFL can't change the rules regarding FA in the year they will implement it. They gave the initial FA a three year heads up.

Okay, fair enough

either way it leaves Beams OOC and as far as I am concerned fair game

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
