Who do you want

Recommended Posts

Unsure if there is another thread on this but if so I will delete!
Who do you want that we have a genuine chance at getting and what would you give up in this years trade
Not even half way through the season but I am sure we can pick out needs in our team.
I am interested to know what everyone thinks.

Adam Tomlinson?
Will Hoskin-Elliott?
Dion Prestia?
Adam Saad?
David Swallow?
Brandon Matera?
Gary Rohan?
Matt De Boer?
Josh Jenkins ??
Andrew Gaff ?
Nathan Hrovat?
Jack Redpath?
George Horlin-Smith?
Matt Scharenberg?
These players I have mentioned are players who may be out of contract, want to come home, want more opportunity but could fill our needs or that we actually need.
I know there's plenty more gettable players out there so shoot away :)

I think Adam Saad would be a good get. Has great pace and skills which I think is something we still lack. Hasn't played a lot of AFL but has potential. 

 I think I heard on Talking Footy last night that he may want out.

Hurley!!!!

If we get hurley where just about set!

Tom Lynch smashed TMac early on the weekend and Riewoldt the week before, having an extra big defender with the aggression and competitiveness of Hurley is perfect. 

Then if Prestia requests a trade specifically to the dees, well ill just about explode...

I will go the obvious and say Prestia -  just because we know he supported MFC and has previously been linked.

Outside of that Adam Saad would be a good fit, he is explosive, I worry about his hamstrings. But we have to the end of the year to have a good look at him. He is certainly a very exciting football player. He is everything Lumumba tries to be, and more.

I didn't think Saad did too badly on Sunday despite our high score. I suspect that he would rather be playing for us rather than against us next time we meet.

I suspect we might be a destination club simply because a lot of midfielders don't want to be on the opposite team to Jack Viney

Gaff, Hurley, Saad, Prestia, Swallow, Jenkins. In that order. Just addressing our needs

Im pretty similar but id order it Jenkins, Hurley, Prestia, Swallow, Saad... Gaff? i wouldnt be upset but not sure he is worth too much time in. I might add Tomlinson if the other KP options fall through

I think Jenkins fills the ruck forward role we are begging for and Hurley is the second KPD we need but have some options (O Mac albeit a little young, Pedo goes back and is physical enough, frost if they stop being so damn stubborn, Garland if he gets back to his best)

of that lot, i'd go the following order:

 

Andrew Gaff ?
Adam Saad?
Dion Prestia?
Josh Jenkins ??
Nathan Hrovat?
Gary Rohan?
Adam Tomlinson?
Will Hoskin-Elliott?
David Swallow?
Brandon Matera?
Matt Scharenberg?
Jack Redpath?
George Horlin-Smith?
Matt De Boer?

 

but i'd have hurley and heppell above them all as we can get them to leave the bombers as free agents, and the bombers get compensated accordingly.

 

or not, as they shouldn't be - like paramatta eels, they shouldn't be entitled to hold onto any of the remaining peptide players unless the re-negotiate their contracts! they're effectively de-registered players this year; and that's what they should be.

Presita, Jenkins & then Mitch or Nathan Brown as a free agent until Omac bulks up. 

2017 Team

FB Jetta Brown Prince

HB Salem TMac Trenners

C Vince Jones Brayshaw

HF Watts Hogan BenKen

FF Garlett Jenkins Kent

R Gawn Viney Prestia

B Trac Tyson Oliver Bugg

 

And just imagine the depth lining up at casey keeping the 22 performing, the likes of Harmes, Ped, Vanders, ANB, stretch, weid, Hunt just to name a few. 

 

The main speed bump is how we Aquire Jenkins, personally I think our 2017 first rounder is already off the table with the Prestia deal, Brown would cost nothing but cap space and Jenkins is currently hot property so I don't really know what we can use to trade for him. 

 

Maybe getting ahead of my self here by its hard not to be excited by what's just around the corner and I have full faith the club will make all the right calls!!

As nice as Saad would be on face value, he is becoming extraordinarily overrated.

Excellent player with ball in hand, absolutely abhorrent when it isn't.  Has no idea how to defend - Kent's goal on the weekend was a prime example.

Yes, he could improve and be a gun player for years to come, but at this stage I would prefer defenders who can actually defend.

Yes I guess that is true. powerful with the ball in his hands but doesn't do to much with out it. Doesn't seem to read to much into the player he'll be playing on considering watching the replay of Kent's goal he ran to the left side of his body instead of the right hip. Pretty simple stuff that can stop goals.

That is a finals bound team! I'd swap Harmes for Bugg,Wagner for Prince and if he continues improving Hunt might be in over Trenners but other than that it looks pretty damn good to me. Not to mention melksham who Goody is a big fan of.

Realistically we wont get 3 of all those new guys in but its fun to dream haha.

I think Kent's goal was underrated. Saad did defend poorly but Kent had a runner on the outside and Saad was trying to cover both the collect and the handball. Kent suckered him with some very nice footwork/angling of body.

Sam Day. 5 year deal on offer at $500,000  a year. He can play forward or back. 

He smashed Hogan ... a rock in defence.

Smashed Hogan?

I must have missed that bit.

    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
