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.

Source? Knowledge?

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.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
