Players to target at the end of the year



Recommended Posts

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.

Disagree - Kennedy was a young developing KPF. Carlton didn't want to lose him but had to, to secure Judd and Kennedy didn't want to leave Carlton at the time.

He was not a massive disappointment by any stretch of the imagination.

Nutjob Mitch Robertson would be high on my list and I would look at what value might be had with Jarred Waite for a year or two.

As you know I put a premium on grunt and a touch of homicidal maniac is just what this club needs right now!

You are joking. Skill is what we lack. No room for ill disciplined no talents.

Not true if I recall correctly and from someone very close to Kennedy, the Blues balked at the deal as they wanted to keep Kennedy, they saw the potential and tried to work their way through a number of other scenarios none of which came to fruition. At the end of the day the deal came down to either Fev or Kennedy being traded as they wanted Judd. In the end they gave up Kennedy and kept Fev.

Both clubs won out on the trade but in hindsight we all know who they would have given up now

I know it's been rumoured elsewhere, but I had a mate who was at a function yesterday where a former Demons great said that Malceski to the Dees for 2 years was a done deal.

good news if true

Actually, the blue supporters I know were very disappointed in Kennedy at the Blues. I'm not saying the club thought differently.

The MFC has kept Watts for very similar reasons. Potential. It's all very subjective. That's the game we support.

I hope Malceski isn't the only big fish we get this offseason though...I would be willing to bet there will be more after seeing Roos post match press conference today. He was shattered and couldn't believe how [censored] this teams skills are and IMPLIED offloading a lot of players that aren't cutting it.

Demonstrative the Blues Supporters you know unless the Pratts have no say in the running of the club, Fact is they did not want to let him go. The option came down to Judd or Kennedy

St P, i said he was underwhelming at the blues. The discussion started regarding Cameron from GWS being worth 2 high draft picks. The Judd Kennedy trade was brought up (maybe from me). I argued Kennedy was a speculative trade as his form was underwhelming.

If Carlton wanted to keep Kennedy or not, is not the point of the this discussion.

Thanks for your contribution tho.

Also, fact is they did let him go. Can say they didn't want to when they did

Last sentence is bollocks. And you know it. They reluctantly let Kennedy go. He didn't want to go either. The trade for Judd hinged upon him going to WCE, so they let him go paired with a very high draft pick.

I'd trade for Cameron or a a mid, such as Parker. Work your best magic Roosy!

    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

    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.
