From GWS. Or so says the little paper. He is out of contract and looking to come home......

Cant recall seeing him. Whats he like?? Do we have a chance of getting him and would we want him??

He was originally pick 12...

yes please !!! tall key swingman, 197cm ish, very handy from the little I've seen & read... imo a really good fit for our group, his size & athleticism would add a lot of what we need.

Must admit that I haven't seen much of him, although he would be an upgrade on someone like Fitzpatrick and even a potential replacement for someone like Chip. I'd hazard a guess and say Carlton, St. Kilda and the Dogs will all chase someone like him very hard and they would have the cap room to make him a very decent offer. Not saying we won't chase him or that we can't get him, just that there will be plenty of competition for his signature.

 

Is a Carlton supporter and they are in to him, as well as every other player named as possibly moving clubs.

I would imagine if you could get a good mid from GWS for pick 3 he could be part of the deal.

Went to school with Viney - which gives us a link. But also went to school with McRae and Hrovat - which gives W Bulldogs a link - and they need KPPs. If he doesn't go to one of the strong clubs - I reckon the Dogs would offer him more than we will

After last night he would be embaressed to run out on the field with Carlton. I like your suggestion that he be packaged up with another Tyson-type mid from GWS, especially if Frawley departs and we can utilise the compensation pick for the swap!


I wouldn't offer more than our second round pick, someone will trump that

Likely to be at the Dogs next year. They have big need for KEY FWDS. He is target after Dogs missed Patton.

hopefully a Demon spanner will get into that works.

Spot on Derm get and go

Unless they get Frawley, as per Crawford's random speculation today.

Anyway, at this point Jaksch has show very little. Jaksch it, even. But that would appear to be mostly injury-related.

All that said, the phantom draft write-ups on Jaksch are pretty stellar, and really that is all we have to go on. Much like Tyson, really.

Would take him, but not at a high price.

Can't imagine any possibility of being embarrassed to run out on the field with Melbourne.

Judd was a Melbourne supporter, once Jaksch has had a look at our facilities....who cares. He hasn't shown much to date.

Well played, sir.

that is the time we have to pick them, early before the indian myna's attack.


Absolute no brainer. Taller, tougher version of Bontempelli and one of the best contested marks for his age that I have ever seen. The only reason he has flown under the radar is due to injury. A classic Dom Tyson scenario all over again if we can pull this off.

Carlton supporters reckon hes already in the bag

The brown paper bag???

 

What's all the fuss about with this kid? All I can see with him is that he was once pick 12 and shown very little in two years. If you could get him cheap, sure, go for it. But if talking about early round picks then wouldn't you be better served trying your luck on another tall in this draft?

Can only be in the bag if they can do a deal with GWS.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
