Jeremy Cameron for our forward line?

Recommended Posts

This is what dreams are made of. Final piece of the puzzle should it happen. Way better than Patton and probably on a parr with Lynch as best young forward. I think we are going to have to cough. up big bucks at some stage to complete our list.

Having Tyson there may be a good start. Fingers crossed.

you're kidding if you think that's all we need.

You're a harsh judge Sat. He isn't playing as well last year but he isn't playing awfully either.

Well considering he has kicked 3 times as many goals as our leading goal kicker while playing in the worst team in the comp. Also, he coach has come out and said the following:

"He was really knocked around by that perforated eardrum that he had. He's a ball player, Jeremy, he really does crack in very hard," Cameron told Fox Footy.

"But secondly his ankle has been playing up for about three or four weeks and with that he just hasn't had the ability to train."

Come on mate, get on board :lol:

Then why is he being played, what are they trying to do break him?, there is more to this story than meets the eye

I think there will be better deals to build a great team this trade period than that presented by Cameron, assuming Hogan returns to full fitness and demonstrates his class.

Everyone in Vic will want Cameron, he is fully valued given his AA and Coleman tally from last year. So the price being paid for him will be overs UNLIKE the sweet deal we did for Tyson and Salem...

Reckon there will be a couple of ready to bloom players that we'll line up and pay cheap for.

You know what... I have a feeling Geelong may disregard Dangerfield and go very hard at Cameron. I think he is worth a lot more to Geelong as their depth is lacking in their forward line. They rely so heavily on Hawkins that if he goes down they don't really have a good key target to kick to, so they have to swing Harry Taylor forward which ultimately upsets their structured backline.

That saying, that'll potentially open the door for us to then target Dangerfield with less competition provided my initial statement is correct. I don't know about you guys, but for some reason I see Cameron in a Geelong jumper.. Suits him.

not just the Catters, but the Hawks & Blues & Pies & Bombers..... & Us, & just about all others bar Sydney.

Not for me thanks, as good as he is. The final piece of our key forward puzzle is a tall forward who chops out in the ruck, Cameron isn't this. I'd rather go after Boyd at the end of 2015 or Gorringe, McBean or Tarrant at the end of this year.

Reckon Geelong, Hawthorn, Collingwood, North, Carlton and St Kilda will be the 6 most likely.

Unless it is something absolutely ridiculous, I'm not sure you can pay overs for a player like Cameron. I would want the club to go all out. He's not the final piece of the puzzle, but he would be an enormous get, especially for a team at our stage of development.

Re Sam Reid, not interested unless it was bargain bin. Wouldn't be nearly as hyped without his brother being the player that he is. Very underwhelming player.

I think Hogan will be better.

I think that Hogan, Cameron & Dawes will be better still!

er let me think, Hawkins, Tippett as he approachs full fitness, Walker as he approachs full fitness, Franklin, Jack Riewoldt (if Richmond get it together)....Hogan once we get him right will be better

Yes but the only one we have is Hogan and the others are all a lot older and short term.

I think that it is a no brainer. It would have to be Cameron for reasons highlighted by many of the posters here. To me Cameron could be the lynchpin for us seriously contending a Premiership, plus his presence in the team would prove to be a big incentive for our other top players to stay for the ride! Having the top CEO, top coach and best full forward in the league is a pretty enticing package for players to come knocking on our door.

lets think laterally, if there are issues up there, our weakness's are Mids & class runners. what if we didn't spend a fortune on one player, but rather on a couple of others?

for balance, Boyd or Patton would fit better as the talls, rather than 3 similar types of 6'-41/2" ish running around together.

I'd rather find a Big Tall, & also a hard allround Mid. this I think would add more to a Champion Team, rather than a team of ch'''''.

So everybody loves Cameron, and Viney and JKH and Nathan Jones, and Salem and Tyson and Frawley and Tommy Mc and now Dunn, how much money do you think the Club has at the moment with just 35000 members and now no support from the AFL....the Geelong and Hawthorn models are based on players all being on equal salaries and playing as a team, so was Sydney until Roos left

What are you talking about? We have a minimum cap and we have to pay it. The 35,000 members is irrelevant. Further, we still get financial support from the AFL...

If he really is looking at leaving them we should throw everything at him. To be all australian in a team like GWS and at 19 is amazing! Would be a great addition to our fwd line and to have him, Dawes and hogan in there would be great, and as BBB said, if neeld and schwab could sell the dees to Clark then roos and pj should be able to do it better especially now that we can be seen as going in the right direction.

You just named 2, 1 million dollar forward recruits.

Anyway, I'd throw the sink at him. I'm not sure that's the Paul Roos way of doing things though, but I doubt he'd scoff at a 10 year star forward.

There'll be others exiting along side him, so it's going to get interesting.

I'm sure a big win against Hawthorn will change the mood around GWS.... lol

4 and 5 for Cameron and treloar?

Haha, we'd be laughing with this. That said, if GWS hold out for another year, I'm not sure too many teams would be able to offer two first round picks. I think it's still short. They'd have to do the deal if it was two picks for one of them and they'd signalled their intention to leave.

You're a harsh judge Sat. He isn't playing as well last year but he isn't playing awfully either.

Well considering he has kicked 3 times as many goals as our leading goal kicker while playing in the worst team in the comp. Also, he coach has come out and said the following:

Come on mate, get on board :lol:

If Cameron played for the MFC, Saty would claim he was the next coming. That sort of bias I understand, but it's not helpful in this instance. Cameron is a gun. It's understandable that he has a couple of quiet weeks in the youngest side in the comp. I'm almost certain Roos would love to have someone of Cameron's talents. Our issue is do we need gun midfielders more?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
