Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

Met Malceski's cousin last night, said that Nick was as good as gone from the Swans, is moving back to Melbourne and most importantly will be a Dee this off-season.

Take that for what you will.

Hope you are right hulkster. We have terrible delivery off half back ATM.

If Cameron decides he is leaving it will force GWS hand. Pick two and three is overs for Cameron IMO. Not even Judd in his prime demanded two high draft picks.

The club knows it needs midfielders. They won't give up 2 high draft picks. Unless Shiel is part of the package.

Hmmm...sorry I can't see that scenario playing out atm. Can you give me an example of what we might have to offer to get him if we don't offer pick 2 and 3?

Don't GWS have an end of first round compo pick up their sleeves?

If they do, our first pick plus frawley compo (2&3 or 3&4) for Cameron and their end of first rounder.

Err... Wasn't Judd traded pick 3 plus Josh Kennedy? That's two great high picks effectively.

If we have pick 2 and 3, ideally we'd trade 3 + player (hate to say it, Watts) for Cameron and take Petracca with 2. Gotta give something good to get something good. Or pick 2 for Cameron and take Brayshaw with 3. Or it could be the Roosy 'special' al la Dom and 1st rounder, or a tangled 3-way deal including our pick 2 or 3. Who knows.......

Josh Kennedy was massively underwhelming at the Blues therefore speculative at the time Moonshadow. Kennedy is also a West Australian.

Watts was pick one in his year!

Who has also been massively underwhelming unfortunately.

I think you are "massively" undervaluing Kennedy. He showed considerable potential at the Blouses and was pick 4 in a draft that included Pendles, Nate Jones, Paddy Ryder and Grant Birchell.

Jack Watts pick 1......meh!

Hope so too Moon, would hate having him pull my leg on this one. Yes Malceski is around 30 y/o but he's in terrific form and would boost the delivery from half back. Would be a very handy acquisition for the next few years that's for sure.

Disagree with you here Moonshadow. At the Blues Kennedy was a massive disappointment. He not only did he under perform, he didn't show a lot of potential. The club was happy to let him go.

Subiaco is a ground that has suited his style of play and the Eagles have done well out of that trade. The kid is a star now.

Not true.

Sticks has gone on record many times saying they didn't want to let him go but had no choice in order to get Judd in.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
