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.

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.

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

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
