Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Lol unless we can set up a attractive personal deal, we can NOT get Mitchel for pick 20 alone. No way. I've asked all my Sydney mates, and they reckon around pick 10.

Well, that's nice. Maybe you should remind your Sydney mates that he isn't getting a game with them. He's not therefore worth a first rounder. Ridiculous.

Mitchell is also being paid over $500,000 per year. The Swans need to pay for Buddy, Tippett and Reid etc etc in the coming years. The Swans will off load him at seasons end.

I don't know about that, but his contract size will certainly work in our favour, not against us. We hold the cards here.

If we can't get Malceski, Shiel (because he apparently resigned), Cameron (unlikely), Mitchell (Sydney or Carlton ATM), ROK (hawthorn likely), or O'Rouke (no indication of us being interested), then I wonder who we're going to end up getting this offseason. It might be a suprise, or we might just be going Into the draft...and if we don't get Petracaa...well that's going to b e even more dissapointment. Oh well, I'm optimistic...clearly...

Roos and co. play their cards pretty close to their chest in regards to trades and who we are interested in. While there was speculation that we were interested in a variety of GWS players last year we didn't know it was Tyson until the moment it happened. Same can be said for Vince as well. I'm confident that the club are interested and pursuing a variety of players who can improve our squad. I can't see them chasing guys for the sake of it - if there isn't anyone worth getting then I believe the club will simply go the draft and look at getting players into the club who can help take us forward.

IMO we are in a good position draft wise - around the 3-4 mark is perfect.

Trade for established or take Petracca/Brayshaw - both ready made players.

I liked the suggestion of trading 4 to GWS for Tomlinson and 20.

So long as we could land Mitchell with 20, that is a super deal.

Personally I'd gladly past with pick 4 alone for Tom Mitchell.

Longmire has said Mitchell will not be traded and is a required player. Also Petracca will be gone by pick 3.

Because we probably havnt kicked 14.2 as a team in any single games yet this year. Thats why

Love your thinking. Comes out of prison and kicks a bag against nothing opposition and he is the answer to our goal kicking woes. The bloke is damaged goods and the last bloke Roos would look at I suspect.

He was a favourite of mine before his exit from the club but I wouldn't go anywhere near him now.

Err you do realize the standard between the bush footy and AFL right??

Just because he did it up the bush doesn't mean it will translate into AFL!

He is light years away from AFL footy I cannot ever see him gracing the field again.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
