Aish for Dawes, they need a forward target. Dawes is a target, not a very good one but they may struggle to get anyone else.

Prestia for pick and Grimes.

This isn't the 90's and Brisbane aren't Fremantle.

Sure, if we can get away with it. Aish is a footballers footballer.

    I'd be really happy if Aish was our second target midfielder.

    Wouldn't be as happy if he was our first target, ahead of the likes of Prestia or Coniglio or Sloane.

    Is it too greedy to want Aish AND Prestia?? Or do we not have enough to give to get both?

    I want both too. I don't think it's too greedy at all. Aish is struggling to cement his place at Brisbane. He shouldn't be our first target. We need to go hard for A graders/cusp of A grade at the end of this year. Prestia and Coniglio are the go for mine too.

    As you note, it's all about whether we have enough to get them both.

    Money of trade value?

    Definitely trade value. For each, we'd need a high pick and a very very good player, or at the very least a good player who meets a desperate need.

    Do GCS or Brisbane need a versatile reliable defender, a specie merchant or a tall forward with iron hands???

    I passed on him about 5 or 6 years back, when he was doing his accounting literature tour. we couldn't afford him then, & we d=certainly don't want him now.

    I would have passed on him, if i happened to pass him by on the street, as well... :mad: well maybe not, but you get my gist ;)

    Would anyone consider Brendon Mateara? I have always rated him and i just feel that with Kent going down we have really missed the zip and explosiveness that he provides. Kicked 27 goals in 2013 so atleast we know he can kick goals.

    Not really. Decent finisher, but doesn't provide anything else. Think he only has eyes on the goals as well so unless he kicks it, all you're getting is a turnover.

    Gone... m jones, terlich, mckenzie, fitzpatrick, bail & hunt (not developed).

    retire... jamar

    Thats 7 spots.

    draft 4 (Harley Balic),22 (Sam Weideman),38 (Blake Hardwick),trade in Dean Towers (Sydney for pick 56), free agent Leuenberger and rookie upgrade for Harmes and Vandenburg. King stays for yr3 as interstate rookie.

    We should approach Zaha with a nice offer, surely he can be enticed out of that moral [censored] hole that is the drugs

    Gifted but bad attitude

    Well someone should have been held accountable for not picking up Oxley as it cost us the game. Roos said the players didn't follow instructions so it seems he has been let off IF he was the spare but that's irrelevant as to wether we should target Aish or not.

    You keep getting gazumped you idiot. Just stfu now.

    Along with Bennell, apparently one of the GCS players for whom football gets in the way of having a good time.

    Same could've been said about Garlett.

    Could be but Garlett's attitude doesn't affect his training and getting his body prepared

  • Quote

    I don't think there are any issues with Garlett's attitude. I may be wrong but the only thing I remember him being involved in off field is the recent indecent where he was the one who was attacked, he seems pretty committed to his family.

    Iv been saying we should trade Watts for years but last week seeing him play changed the way I think about him.

    I think he is the biggest game changer our team has. Some of the things he did last week to turn the swing of the game were amazing, no one else in our team has that IQ and talent.

    No one else in our team can swing a game around like Watts can when he is on

    As to those paying out on Dawes I think it's a bit harsh, the guy works hard and definitely gave us something when we wernt doing too well under the Neeld regime.

    That said I think he does have value and now would be a good time to see if we could get anything back for him in a younger player which fits our age demographic better.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
