Next player type to target

after the wash up of yesterdays game and assuming Chip is going, which I really feel he is now, what player types should the club chase this off season?

Presume 2 top 8 draft picks, including the compo for Chip.

Use one for the draft and one to swap for another mid or should we go for a KPF to replace Mitch?

Can Pedo fill the 3rd tall fwd possy long term?

Can Dunn hold down CHB or do we look to draft a KPD?

Id like the club to have a crack at a GWS mid and go for a tall in the draft, personally, however if we can get Rosa in FA then id say go for an established tall.

 

Prestia, Walker, Cameron, just chucking a few names up.

Adam treloar

 

If Frawley leaves we would need to get another tall defender into the side. I know we are playing without him back there right now, but what we have at the moment is undersized. We can't rely on Dunn and Garland to play as key defenders against 2m plus forwards. More and more we are seeing these types coming into the game and we'll need some real size down back to counter them. Realistically I think if Frawley goes we'll take the best available key defender and another mid with those two picks.


We now need speed speed and more speed

i think you'll find Ice is more "in vogue" currently.

Is that's whats going down in the staff room Song?
 

If Frawley is telling the truth about seeing improvement and direction, he won't leave. If he's just after money and success, and this is all a charade, then [censored] him.

Cool.

Really needed another thread on this topic too.

Good work today.

Yeah cool mate, good job, we needed another smartarse comment from you.

Good on you.

unless hes waiting for us to win a premiership, the time is now. blind freddy can see the direction and improvement so he needs to do the 'Clubman' thing and sign on now if he truly only wanted to see direction. A signature from frawley now would consolidate the positivity around the club at the moment.

What a way to say to the other players, "get around each other and lets do this".

After the last few weeks of performance, I find Frawleys silence deafening and in my mind points to his commitment to leaving at years end.

Im not saying he doesnt have a right to wait till years end but if he is being totally honest with the Club then id say the time is now

Trade for another quality mid. Treloar maybe. How about Swallow from GC? Yes, I know GC are finals bound, but a big bag of $ might tempt him. Dylan Sheil?

Careful thedeeman, he gets agitated if you don't bow down to his superior knowledge of the game.

Is Pedo just having a purple patch or have we found our 3rd tall to slot in with Hogan and Dawes? Should we go for Cameron or is GWS going to require too much in return?

Manga, he seems to have been given more of a license to roam than when we first picked him up. That being so, Cameron would slot into any side as he's incredibly strong in the air and on the ground. Injuries holding him back clearly at present.

I think Pedersen will hold his spot for next year too, but if Cameron comes to us i think our forward line would hopefully look like this

Half-forward: Watts, Hogan, Pedersen

Forward: Dawes, Cameron/Frawley, JKH

What footy fan isn't over the last 7 years?

But I have a link to them and an insight into their club.

It's pretty obvious who I support though.

Still a duplicate thread.

What has changed to make you 'feel' like he's gone? There's absolutely no evidence and if anything, the likelihood of him staying is only increasing by the week.

And I think after yesterday's game, it really highlights our lack of quality ball users off half back. We need to invest some time in that area. I'd be looking to nick one of those Hawthorn blokes or look to the draft, which I suspect Roos and co probably will. On top of that, just keep stockpiling good mids. If we can pick up a KPF too, that'd be great, but not necessarily a deal breaker.

Prestia, Walker, Cameron, just chucking a few names up.

If you've read many of my posts, you'll know my love for Prestia, but I don't think we'll get him this year. Would love Cameron obviously, but will come at probably too high a price.

Yeah, that'd be nice, but that's not why his agent would be telling him to wait it out. He'll get more money at the end of the season, because his agent will be able to leverage interest from opposition clubs to up his price at MFC.

I think Pedersen will hold his spot for next year too, but if Cameron comes to us i think our forward line would hopefully look like this

Half-forward: Watts, Hogan, Pedersen

Forward: Dawes, Cameron/Frawley, JKH

I think you'd definitely find Frawley playing in defence, but with a year up his sleeve as an AFL KPF, he'd be able to swing forward whenever we needed him to.

we need a point of difference from just 3 amigo's roaming the forward zone. we need bigger, & more powerful than those guys, who can pinch in the ruck. And we need small nimble speed with some bulk, who can also run thru the middle rotations.

wonna where are you.

I think they'll be sought, but aren't as high on the list as some other types. A bloke like Salem has already shown his danger at ground level.

What's your link Machsy?

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
