Players to target at the end of the year

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.

 

The Dom is good and will be a star. Along with Viney. Add Hogan and Cameron and the club for the first time since 1994 will have real stars.

Let's hope injury does not kill us like 94.


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?

 

With Frawley leaving we could have Cameron and one of Brayshaw or Petracca

Cameron and Pretracca....... hmmmmm...... drool...... doughnuts.... yes please.

I mean its great to be optimistic and all...but the only reason why Gws would trade cameron is if they get Petracca and another people as compensation. Sorry for being the party pooper!

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.

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!

Have you guys been watching that recruiting show...kinda like xfactor but for footy. Wonder which club is offering the contract

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.

 

So Sticks, who is leaving a club in disarray, says something therefore what I believe is wrong.....

I could say your wrong Andrew on both accounts. Believing an under performing President and on the Kennedy issue

Well, I think I'll stick with someone who has commented about it on the record who has direct links to the deal as the then head of football at the club doing the trading as opposed to a Melbourne supporter.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
