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.

    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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
