Does anyone know the contract status of Jayden Hunt. I think he's out of contract and if they wanted him you'd have expected him to have signed along with White, Stretch, ANB and King.

What are people's thoughts?

Assume he is OOC since he was drafted in '13, haven't seen him at all, but sounds like he's delist material despite battling injuries, maybe a rookie spot, was very left field at the time.

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

I was trying to be discrete. I meant Carlton's most recent Senior Coach who was previously the senior coach at three other clubs and holds the record for most senior games coached.

No, I need more. First name starts with ?


Ben Lennon ?

if your referring to Tyson, then a trade of an established Mid, for a potential? I'd say if Tyson is unhappy, then trade for Lennon + pick as well, to cover the risk.

Can do some special stuff, but only gets it 9 times a game.

But there's talent there.

Conundrum.

You would send the club broke within 3 weeks give it a rest .

Nailed it in three.

give yourself a rest DH.

If a player (Tyson) wanted out, after 2 seasons, it might be a good move to sell high.

.......... if we could get a pick for him, from the Saints @ 5, or the Pies @ 7, we would surely have Curnow? & Weideman? covered.

Lennon, Curnow and Weideman

would be super disappointed if we finished the trade period with our best recruits being Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham. Go big. Try get a steal with a 2nd round a pick. Someone with blistering pace as an outside mid, or A 2nd forward who comes up the ground. Someone with elite skills and speed coming off half back (even though Salem plays that role)

Lol boy aren't you going to be super disappointed!

As Josh Mahoney said we aren't exactly a destination club atm. What those players bring is super competitiveness and upgrade of depth. We will improve with these guys next year i have no doubt. Don't forget we will still have pick 6 and going by Jason Taylor's record he will land an absolute beauty.

Have faith in our recruiting team.

If we landed all three of Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham and managed to keep our first round pick, I'd be very happy. Those three are into our best 22 immediately and therefore, improve the depth of the entire list.

I am also very confident we'll improve. Pushing for finals in 2017 i reckon. Maybe even next year. Who knows. I know I have probably mentioned it so many times. At the time being our midfield is a little raw with Vince and Jones carrying the lot having to go against the Fyfe's, the Dangerfields, Hannerbery's and Mitchells. If you look at our list our midfield has massive potential to be a superstar midfield in 3-5 years with Viney, Petracca, Vandenburg, ANB and Brayshaw on the inside, with Tyson, Salem, Stretch on the Outside. Not to mention Gawny serving the pill on a platter to them. Combine that group with the likes off Tmac, Omac, Frost, White and Jetta down back along with Hogan, Garlett, Kent (Insert 2nd forward here), and we have got the potential to be a super team in a couple years

But tbh, i'd rather pair pick 22 (from GC for Howe) with a player to get someone like Sam Reid.

Prepare to be super disappointed Demonlads.

We ain't gunna get an A grader unfortunately.

We would all like to pair up our top picks and land a big fish mate, but the reality is that most, if not all, are off the table. Guys like Hartlett and Parker have either re-signed or signalled an intention to do so, while others like Dangerfield and Treloar have said they want to play at other clubs.

If there is no big fish out there this year then the club needs to pour it's energy into improving the list in the best way possible so we are well placed in 2016 and 2017 to make a play for a bigger name. If there is nothing out there this year then there isn't much we can do about it.

are there any 2nd string forwards we may/should look at?

If we're unable to find an A grader to trade our first pick on, then I'd be happy to take it into the draft. Although it's a shallower draft than previous years there's still plenty of talent that'll be recruited in the first 15-20 picks.

Tyson is our best inside mid...

I'd have some degree of satisfaction knowing we have cleared some who were just Xmas decorations, for the past few years.

I'd still like to see MJ & Terls moved along, & Dawes traded.

think I'd still like to see Fitz Re-rookied, if nothing else comes along.

Agree we need to build more.

Fingers crossed that Trengove gets back.

Petracca on field is a gun.

That's "two recruits" (say our prayers).

Aim for 10 wins minimum in 2016.

Then bring in Prestia and finals IMO in 2017.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
