If we have any brains at all we should offer:

Fyfe: 7 years at a million a year

Danger: 7 years at 1.2 million a year

Tex: 5 years at 1 million a year

We have to go totally loco on this free agency business.

I'd previously mentioned Ryan O'Keefe as a potential target, however I'm now starting to cool on him.

My targets would be Matt Rosa as a free agent and trades for Lachlan Plowman and Daniel Gorringe.

What is everyone's obsession with Plowman?

From what i've watched i'd rather Tomlinson, Patton or Smith

With Roosy just announcing his taken the 3rd year and will likely stay beyond that, we can now realistically dream big in regards to attracting marquee players

I'd certainly be in the ear of Nat Fyfe and Tex Walker, we have the cap space to get them interested, Tex i'm sure wouldn't mind playing with Clis and Bernie.

I know this will probably upset a few, but what does everyone think about Sylvia? you can't tell me he won't get delisted and Collingwood already have too many [censored], either go to us, Richmond or Carlton

I was serious he'd be good depth, and considering how hard Roos was trying to keep him at the dees, i wouldn't put it behind him, and besides wouldn't be the first time a player went back to his old club.

it would have been interesting to see what might have happened if he was 'Roosed' *

I'm sure Fremantle would be thrilled to let him out of a well payed three year contract just one year in.

You sure about that?

In my eyes it was merely campaigning for fair FA compensation.

Roos had no interest in keeping Sylvia.

He's BIG, tough, could play as a big midfielder like Mundy, very talented but hasn't shown his true worth yet, and would be attainable.

Basically tracking similar to Dom Tyson last year, except Plowman has been played as a defender.

Patton very unlikely GWS would make available.

Smith not what we need and they'd want to either keep him or get beyond his worth.

Tomlinson would be in the same target category as Plowman.

I like the look of Tomlinson 'Machsy' but so far I've seen nothing in Plowman that would put him in the class of Tyson going just on their GWS games.

different players.

IMO re the tall forward, I think we do not want a one dimension tall forward.

I want a big fella who plays tall full forward (195cm+), CHF just as well, & into the ruck with genuine effectiveness. I'd like our tall forwards to be able to change forward roles with one another.

can Patton play the ruck? essentially its the Clark role.

we need to draft a key defender, & trade for another mature Mid. another tyson type deal.

I thought you were giving Clark's job description.

Hed probbaly kill to come here since he can never kick goals against us

Never seen him play a good gave vs the MFC

I was typing as I thought it thru, & then woke up to that very thing. Mitch's exact role. how ironic hey.

The other way around it, is for the follower/tall forward to play For-pocket. So we need Fitzy to keep developing himself. I like it that Fitzy seems to feel more at home around the fatter part of the ground & playing the follower role. As he grows more confident he will start to use his body more, to move players out of position.

He's still a bit young/immature footy wise, just yet.

Mundy & Tex!! YES YES YES!

Tex would bring back the days of Wild Jakovich antics...

He could compliment Gawny as the new Cult hero at Demonland.

His attitude is terrible and exactly what the team has been working at to eradicate.

First Sylvia then this.

This thread has gone loco...

Anyone throwing Rory Sloanes name into the ring can forget it.

Why would he come back when his parents just moved from Upwey to Glenelg?

He isn't that bad, keep him away from the media and he's alright

Plus he's won two colemans, so miles from Sylvia comparison

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
