We will never get the benefit of a Jeff Gartlett trade again. Won't happen.

Jeff was a gift. Ridiculous to call it a trade.

    When it should just be a mark.

    Yes, how dare he. He should know his place.

    And those cards are nothing but rumours and the inclinations that a poster got on Microsoft Lync from a colleague talking to Chris who said nothing apparently.

    If Fitzpatrick was rookied it would just about be the end for me.

    Thankfully, I know they're not that stupid.

    Good to see you haven't reached your tipping point(s) PD.

    Dawes for Casboult anyone?

    Of course. A key forward that cant take a mark for one of the best contested marks in the comp.

    where do ppl get this idea hes a crap kick ? He's ok. Probably not a long kick..and on the run disposal only average but as set shot inside 50...better than average.

    He's talking about Casboult - who is famously, FAMOUSLY, awful in front of goals.

    so am I.

    Hes not as bad as some make out

    How many Dees have kicked 39 in last two seasons ?

    Unless Pedersen and Frost are injured again, I don't see room for Dawes in the team next year. I think he would be agreeable to a trade if he was told "either go to team x or play for Casey". He will never be a good player for us. Having a key forward that can't take a mark is as useful as having a screen door on a submarine.

    USS ExitDawes?

    Well, Dawes has kicked 31... In two very underwhelming seasons according to many on here...

    Garlett kicked 40 and Hogan 44 just this season...

    And just on the last bloke - Hogan owns this forwardline, I don't know how Casboult is going to go with being a witless foil outside of this forward 50, up the ground - I don't want him and his opponent mucking up Hogan's Forwardline.

    Gawn was a lumbering nightmare when he rested down there against Carlton, spoiled Hogan and the game for us in the end.

    exactly.. 2 blokes

    My point is he isnt the bozo many suggest. I dont argue hes necessarily the answer either.

    Gawn hampers so Casboult would ?

    What logic is that. Gawn is a resting ruck. Casboult a forward. Entirely different.

    Id play Casboult from the square and Hogan at CHF.. just my thinking

    Its pure conjecture and probably moot but id prefer Levi to Dawes if that were the choice

    You would play someone between Hogan and the goals?

    Jeez, I hope no-one else thinks like that.

    Get him space and get to his feet, and do it in front of the goals.

    JBrown worked fine as a CHF. Don't see the problem myself

    hadnt seen that lol

    The games id seen him in his forte seemed around the 40-45 mark

    But hey nothing wrong with that kick. Ive seen some less effective results at other times.

    Good vid CFP

    I agree. Hes not wonderful.. hes not incapable either.

    I think what you'll find is we'll try to recruit casboult to play further up the ground, where his goal kicking woes won't hurt us as much.

    Have him play CHF, swing round with his long penetrating kick to hogan one out, and Hogan will be laughing all day long.

    Thats my view on it.

    I believe we had a nibble at him during the 2012 trade period but he opted to stay on at the Blues.

    He is a cracking contested mare, one of the better in the league IMHO. Would be very happy to have him as the second tall forward/ Ruckman but I really can't imagine Carlton letting him go for a reasonable price.

    For our third rounder... absolutely.

    If Dawes is on the table may i suggest that Jess is going to move out to CHF in stages starting next year. As his tank increases I just cannot see him staying put in the goal square. Already this year he has moved up the field and as a junior played CHB. He is mobile and good below his knees and delivers the ball well. All assumptions I have read so far having playing full forward and I suspect he is more in the Jonathan Brown mould. My question is who will hold down full forward or rotate with Jessie? Stringer and Gunston both showed the value of a quick marking forward in an open forward line.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
