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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
