Who do you want?

Harley Bennell - Pace, X factor

Jaeger O'Meara - AAA midfielder

Jonathan Patton - Stay at home forward to free up Hogan

Jed Adcock - Replacement for crossy with a bit more class

Jake Carlisle - Rich mans Jeremy Howe

Daniel Currie or

Daniel Gorringe as ruck depth and compete with Spencer for the back up ruckman gig.

Currie will be a number 1 ruckman at another club next year. Almost won the JJ Liston last night from his first 9 games before injury ruined his year.

 

I think he may be out of contract. I would like to see us go after Sam Kerridge. Think he would be a good fit. Thoughts

O'Meara for mine, sick of being bent over in the middle.


J O'Meara.

S Mayes,

Stevie J - played out of goal square with Hogan - 120 goals between the two....

Season is over for us so thought I would make this topic.

My question is who do you want in the red and blue next year?

Who do you want that you think is realistic chance of us snapping up?

I have put a few names down.

H Bennel for Howe would it get it done? I think it may well giving Harley's latest indiscretion.

Here is one for you Shaun Atley. offer North a 1st round pick for next year in 2016. Giving there ageing list a first rounder next year when the likes of Boomer, Dal Santo, retire will be very hard to say no to on there side.

Still on North. Dan Currie would be handy pick up as ruck. About to hit 26 years old,peaking age for rucks they say. Would not cost much and he can play second fiddle to Gawn.

Last one Jed Anderson from the Hawks for me running tough mud starved of opportunities.

Adding Bennel Atley and Anderson addresses our speed factor in the midfield.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Our immediate needs are obviously an A grade mid, a classy running back, & a power marking & nasty forward pocket.... I Want us to address these needs, asap.

so would like Danger & Hawkins f/a; trade hard for JO'M ; trade hard for a Kreuzer/Vardy/follower type ; & running back? Hartlett or any others?

Melbourne needs Royalty, a Prince; so from the draft, I'd like us to go tall & young

Charles Curnow with P-1,

& find/trade in a 2nd pick for Sam Weideman,

&, also don't know what pick gets it done; but its time we invested in SuDan... Gach Nyuon - Height: 201cm, Weight: 81kg, Born in Sudan, he arrived in Australia with his family aged seven.

.Athletic ruckman who played a major role in the success of Vic Country being the outstanding ruckman of the championships and winning All-Australian Under-18 honours.

.Provided first use to his midfield and continually provided a target around the ground.

.Best on ground in first round of TAC Cup finals gathering 19 possessions, seven marks and 32 hitouts for the Stingrays.

.Member of the NAB AFL Academy. Averaged 22.8 hitouts per game at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

 

22 blokes who unconditionally have a crack each week and respect the privilege of playing in our great gurnsey.


Kade Kolodjashnij - Half Back Flanker/Wingman with elite kick and running ability

Nathan Freeman - Highly rated midfielder with serious running power and x factor, hopefully can overcome hammy issues

Bennell - The A-grade talent we're crying out for

Tomlinson - The hulking CHF who would love playing with best mate Dom Tyson at the G.

Adcock - Another experienced leader with a hard edge, is clear he can still play and would be the right replacement for Crossy

Bennell out of the realistic targets, Prestia would be perfect but is more likely to happen next year. I'd like us to trade this years pick and hopefully get a player + a later pick to choose either Riley Bonner or Kieran Lovell

Too many hyphens - have enough with Kennedy-Harris

Say what!?

...and you forgot AN-B :)

Zac Jones Bennel Charlie Dixon - draft fast kids .


People who can football please.

May be a controversial call but I see a lot of upside to Ryan Schoenmakers. Been in a good team and at times I think has been unlucky not to crack into the team. Is big bodied and quite quick for his size. Can play forward and back. I think we could get him for little as well.

Kruezer as a FA pick up, at a sensible price and if the medical clears him.

Josh Walker as a 2-year low price contract and a token late draft pick.

Any genuinely high quality midfielder that becomes available should be seriously investigated (e.g. Redden, Treloar, O'Meara, but not so much Melksham)

Delisting the obvious 6; Bail, Terlich, McKenzie, M Jones, Fitzpatrick. Riley.

Retain Watts, Garland and Grimes, mostly because I think between the three of them they ensure that every poster on Demonland will still have a player they maniacally hate. Also, I think 6 delistings, two 'pushed' retirements and the near-certain exit of Howe means enough exits, at a count of 9. Players like Watts/Grimes/Garland/Dawes/Dunn/Lumumba are needed for now, as mature depth if nothing else.

Besides, there has to be someone left to delist in 2016 to make room for free agents Hannebery, Rich, Sidebottom, Harlett and Armitage.

We could probably afford to offer every one of them 750k a year.

I think this year is mostly one for monitoring opportunities, being ready to trade even our first pick to get a suitable premium target, and clearing out almost all of the outright not-AFL players.

Again, I think 2016, when we've just won a final and smoothly transitioned to Goodwin, is when the final round of big moves will be made.


Currie will be a number 1 ruckman at another club next year. Almost won the JJ Liston last night from his first 9 games before injury ruined his year.

He's always looked slow and mechanical at AFL level. Like Jamar of late (who still largely dominated the VFL). I don't know how much better than Spencer he would be. So I wouldn't be in a hurry to find out. I'd rather draft and develop a guy who has the athleticism for AFL.

We won't be getting any AA midfielders until we're consistently up near the top end of the ladder.

Unless we get stupid with $$$, which isn't going to happen.

Reality.

Let's revisit this post after the trade and FA period see if you're right.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
