Just saw Josh Kennedy at melbourne airport.

I'm sure that means nothing at all!

His family live in Melbourne.

    Well he wasnt at Essendon, Moorabbin or Avalon airport so we can rule out the Bombers, Saints and Cats

    We must be on his short list

    I doubt there will be a BIG FISH traded to us this year

    Could put ourselves in a better position to land one next year though

    Jaeger O'meara springs to mind

    IMO the most important big fish is wearing #1 with us already

    Need to lock him down during next year

    Amazed Freo haven't thrown the kitchen sink at him already

    I think it's time that the big fish is one or all of:

    Hogan

    Petracca

    Brayshaw

    Salem

    Surely? One of them? Please.

    Disagree.

    That is a compelling argument...

    I'm sold.

    Disagree, Brayshaw Self.

    Who says we need a Big Fish! If we develop Viney, Salem, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney and Tyson well, then we've already got some solid A Grade talent. Throw in Melksham, Bastinac, Vandenberg, Harmes and a couple more draft picks this year. We already have Jones, Vince, Hogan, Garlett, Kent. I can see real competition for spots with this spread of players. Hell, Michie might improve in leaps and bounds and Gawny is looking like a superb ruckman at the moment. Chins up fellow Demons supporters, I think we can move further up the Win/Loss ratio next year!

    Long way to go this trade season, only Day 1, big fish require patience and a strategy.

    We can only wait and see what our FD can do.

    What more is there to say? It doesn't settle it at all, IMO. All it means is that we've yet to sign someone at this stage.

    My sources at Denpasar airport tell me that Bali are making a big move on a number of AFL players, including Howe, the Collingwood captain and coach. Essendon will be relocated there after the WADA suspensions, and they'll be known as the Bali Bombers. (Bad taste?)

    Disagree.

    So you think that Mahoney saying 'we're not able to land an 'A-grader' at this point' means we won't at all (aka 'Pretty much settles it')? I thought you were smarter than that, mate.

  • Quote

    I have the feeling that Howe to GC is our best opportunity to land a big fish, either directly with GC or via accumulating picks to then trade to Syd or GWS who have quality academy kids (and F/S) to pay for...

    Mind you, it depends on your definition of a big fish.

    Is a player who comes in and within a couple of years wins our B&F a "big fish"?

    If so, Vince was one... and another may not be as hard as we think.

    Completely agree. Howe goes to GCS and we have a chance at landing the big fish. Just because Mahoney says we haven't been able to land one at this point, does not rule out the possibility of it eventuating at a later date.

    For mine JM is just talking the talk..as usual these blokes are very choosy about words. The ones that stood out to me were "at this point" In reality that doesnt dismiss anything. It just means exactly that.. Nothing has landed...yet.

    Usually by this point in October my bush telegraph is smouldering.

    But there's bugger all out there this year. This is only a gut feel, but I sense something clandestine happening.

    The Hamish Hartlett example shows where Melbourne are at. I heard that weeks before and was sworn to secrecy. We unearthed the chance of him walking, but when other clubs picked up on it was a feeding frenzy until Port ended it with 6 years.

    Reckon we've got the cards stapled to the chest, lest the more attractive clubs roll in and bury us.

    Bit to play out yet.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
