The bloke I think Roos could turn around is Toby Greene. I suspect I have little support there.

I agree, although what puts me off Greene is his disposal. We have enough blokes who butcher the ball at the club, we don't want another.

Agree, I think Roos could have a positive effect on the kid.

I think he is young enough and talented enough to fix his disposal!

So why is Shiel highly unlikely? Where did the 'highly' come from?

He is in the pact. So thats a definite unlikely.

What puts me off Greene is he might not be available for a season or two, and his problems run a bit deeper than what Roos can fix. I hope he can turn it around as he is a serious talent but he is coming from a long way back.

Being in the pact is definitely no. No way in hell GWS will trade a kid in a pact...god forbid...

Same as it ever was, it is the midfield, stupid. Back line looks good, forward line looks OK if Hogan can play. But we've only got 4 AFL class mids N.Jones, Vince, Tyson and Viney (apologies to Daniel Cross) when we need at least 10. Some more may come out of Trengove, Toumpas, Salem, Barry and JKH. Last year Tyson, Salem and Vince - about half our midfield - for 2, 20 and Sylvia (23) was an excellent return. This year it would be great to repeat that and if Frawley goes we'll have an even stronger hand - 3, 4 and 23ish. I didn't anticipate last year's deal, I expect we'll be working hard on something similar.

Jake Melksham should/could be a target. Hard and classy. Just what Roos stated we need. Believe he is disgruntled and looking for a fresh start. In his own words he 'plays best when given a role'. Pick 23ish should get the job done. Roos should get into bombers ear about a trade/swap scenario. (After we know the ASADA washout)

Tom Mitchell is one I really hope we chase hard, he's a great young player and already has a solid relationship with Roos and Stone

And Viney by the looks of it..

Gary Rohan is starting to string some good games together now but with Shaw and Malceski near the end they wouldn't want to let him go.

Having an Essendon supporting wife I watch a lot of Essendon. He is possibly more frustrating than any player at Melbourne and I would not take him for free. He appears hard and appears classy but is neither, makes appalling errors and spends half the match when not turning over the ball falling over or running on the spot.

agree re melksham. super-average player.

gary rohan is in some fine, fine form - essentially has now taken the role that andrejs everitt was playing at the swans, and is the obvious replacement if malceski does leave them. he's so quick. can't see swans letting him go.

Nah I think he's deffs [censored]. Essendon supporters don't want him either. Reminds me a tad of Jordie Mckenzie

He's nothing like McKenzie, terrible comparison. One is hard and tough but slow with no skill, the other is pretty much the opposite.

That's not to say Melksham is any good - he's not, he's soft, lazy, and generally just adds nothing to the side.

Gary Rohan is vastly overrated, yes he is good but he's playing in a good side.

I would doubt him in a side like ours, I doubt he would break games open and lead from the front. At this point in time I would much rather target someone else.

I think he has a really big upside and that's what I would be looking at. We identified the upside with Tyson and he's a winner for us, we need more of the same.

Roos & Stone will have the inside info on Rohan anyway, so if we do have a go at him we will have a pretty good idea about him. If we don't then so be it, but this is the type of player we need to identify and land. Added to some good drafting and development we will be on our way.

Who the [censored] would want to come to this [censored] club?

No one... A and that's why we're fooked

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
