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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
