nah but it would be a Goodwin initiative, which the rest will probably follow as to not undermine the future boss

    Did we offer both picks? If so, I'm glad it didn't pan out. I wouldn't even trade Brayshaw on his own for Danger.

    Yeah we did..Very happy the trade didn't go through. Can't wait to see Petracca out there alongside Brayshaw.

    It is around Schwab levels, I won't deny this, but I'm in good company here.

    No coach would want to be surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, nor would an assistant last if this were his M.O.

    Isn't it? Because at that time Melbourne were offering picks 2 and 3 lol.. It's not about what Adelaide want to settle for, Dangerfield has to agree to be traded to the club and unfortunately the way it's going it's Geelong or nothing. We are offering Adelaide pick 6 this year and 1st round next year, Adelaide are all over that but Dangerfield isn't accepting a trade to Melbourne.

    It was an off the cuff comment. Pick 1 in any draft is better than a compo pick around the 13/14 mark.

    SS is a scrubber.

    a very good cultured, & DNA scrubber... & he would walk into our current team.

    It wont just be Goodwin it will be a group decision. Do you think Goodwin could just overrule the opinion of the rest of the footy staff?

    & it won't be just a milkman, it'll be a baker & a candlestick maker, were after. the milkman will be just a small part of our bigger ambitions.

    For whatever it's worth, mentioned on BF by a GWS supporter that Tom Bugg is a lock to come to us.

    Made me giggle... thought id post the appreciation

    No a graders as we'd hope for (hopefully yet) but handy additions in their own right... Well time will tell... Surely an upgrade on a few we have now though

    Ideally, yes. But I'm suspicious that Carlton's most recently departed coach might have operated that way.

    Richmond are in an interesting space for us. They think they're close to being a contender and will therefore sacrifice high picks for ready made players that fill their perceived weaknesses.

    So maybe there's an opportunity for us with Tyson to Tigers...

    They have picks 12, 31, 49... and players? what would be acceptable for Dom?

    Agree, the list at Tigerland looks average, but I'm not that familiar with whos who and we'd be looking at a Mid to replace a mid...

    Considering our needs at the moment and the deficiencies that still plague the midfield, Dom is one of our almost untouchable players. He will still be a gun - the guy is only 21.

    Really? Brad Green doesn't strike me as that kind of fellow.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
