It was reported on one of the radio stations this morning that we have asked him in for a medical.

Must be seriously considering the big fella.

Is it a coincidence he played his best game against us, busting a gut to prove his worth?

Scully got us Hogan. Please pay your respects to the greatest number 1 pick in the history of the AFL thanks!

I couldn't handle seeing his name spelled wrong on here every night for another 7 or 8 years, to be honest.

Well if Watts is going we may as well get the other most disappointing #1 pick going round...

Not a bad decision really.. We don't have anyone going into free agency apart from Garland with any real value that will risk being diminished if we brought in Kreuzer. Would cost us nothing in terms of players or draft picks.. Can help out big Maxy and rest up forward to allow Hogan to push up if need be.

A yes from me.

It would be slightly ironic that the final outcome of the Kreuzer cup was that he ended up win the winner, not the looser!

Don't want him at the club though, too injury prone.

A definite yes.
Dawes has shown that he can't play the Leigh Brown ruck/forward role when he was at Collingwood. Spencil is a ruckman first and foremost and hasn't got the body type to be a forward. I nearly fell over when I saw Dunny in the ruck on Sunday (it was the second most surprising rucking decision I have seen since Sylvia played the role for the final two centre hit outs against Port). Pedo also is too short for it as well (though I think his body type holds up better than Dunn's).

Kreuzer can play forward and ruck. If his body holds up then we have a one two combo with him and Jesse that is as good as any in the league.

He can't really...

Would allow Gawn to play resting Ruck forward which would be a tough match up for any team. With the new interchange rules coming into place having two capable ruckman on the ground who can both play forward will be a big advantage. Whilst his injury record is poor its not a big gamble as he will come at no cost in terms of draft picks. Hopefully we can also bring in a free agent midfielder.

If he checks out medically then you would take him without question

He has proven to play very well up forward. A Gawn-Kreuzer ruck combo would be pretty epic.

When?

Has been a fail in the past, why would it change now?

Look...both Gawn and Kreuzer are rucks. They thrive on playing in the ruck, neither can play forward for any length of time...

What would he cost us?

Nothing pick wise. But probably around 500k a year. I could see us going to 550k if we had to, and didn't have anyone else lined up. That is overs, so it really is hard to say with Kreuzer, but speculation has him going at 500k, so realistically it would take another 50k to get him to MFC.

Gawn predominantly forward is a hard sell for me - he would be a decoy option and he would have to play deep and that pushes Hogan up the ground and...

Nup.

Gawn number 1 ruck - go and find a forward who can ruck a bit.

Yep, we have our ruckman now. Gawn underwhelms as a forward and thrives as a ruck - much like Kreuzer. He doesn't strike me as the type of player we need. What we do need is a player who can play mostly forward and pinch hit well in the ruck.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
