OOC at years end, would be a really good foil for Jesse Hogan,

already has two bags of 6 goals to his name, capable of pinch hitting in the ruck

someone we might have an interest in?

    Naturally, would love him, but at what cost? We should be looking to secure Hogan to a long-term deal at year's end. Ideally, we'd be aiming for a GWS mid too. Where do we find the cap space?

    I'd love him at the club, but I think Roos will target mids again come the end of the year. It's still our biggest need.

    Not 100% sure of his trade value but I assume he wouldn't be at the top of the Suns retain list with Ablett, Martin, omeara, swallow, Bennell, lynch, kolo, Prestia and co

    Hilarious....let's throw in Gysberts, Blease, Morton and Tapscott.

    Surely they've been replaced with McKenzie, Bail, Grimes and Jones.

    For me, Dylan Shiel is target 1.

    But I think the natural progression of our midfield plus introducing petracca and Trengove back into the mix will mean we will improve in that area anyway

    I'm concerned Dawes can't kick enough goals to be more than a third tall forward/ ruck so Dixon would be a great fit in that sense

    I wouldn't be relying on Trengove. He's cooked. (I'm hope I'm wrong!!!)

    Agreed. Pace, ball winning ability and goal kicking prowess. Shiel is the one, but we'll face very stiff competition from other Melbourne clubs, not to mention that rubbish pact Demonlanders keep banging on about.

    We've got the cap room to offer him a monster deal, Sam frost and Dom Tyson to get In his ear and we have shown clear improvement so far this year so his addition would be a big one In our push for finals 2016 so I think Shiel is gettable.

    Would love Dixon as well thoug! Dream off season

    Our midfield still needs a lot of work, but we still lack another quality KPF and Ruckman too. Jamar ain't getting any younger and no-one is really stepping up to take over his spot.

    I would love to get Dixon, but as shown on the weekend I think our midfield needs a loooot of work.

    Jumbo source is josh Mahoney saying " we feel we are in a strong position financially to retain our emerging talent and bring in a top end player into the club in the next few years "

    Combined with the play for Dangerfield last year

    A ruck should be one of our priorities at the end of this season...for those pushing mid, mid, mid, a good ruck gets his own ball and is an important mid creating link up around the ground and feeding the smaller mids.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
