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?

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
