You're kidding if you want Day, he is a dud.

I reckon he'd be a good role player. Played his role on Hogan. I wouldn't say he smashed him, but was strong in the contest and held his own. He's a cheaper, younger option than Hurley, the latter of whom I would be happy with, but is overhyped. 

And if we could get him for that, SONS, that'd be perfect.

    We have a 'role' player in Frost, we don't need to get Day. I'd rather Nathan Brown from the Pies and I don't rate him much either.

    Why would we go after a bloke who will be 28 when 2017 starts? Not to mention, Brown is ho-hum. Day has lots of improvement in him, with much more time on his side.

    Gaff is an elite runner and has excellent disposal. 

    Need some good users on the outside.

    Day offers far more flexibility not to mention skill than either of the Brown boys.

     

    I don't think he's worth half a million a year...but with the new CBA who knows - that might be chump change.

    Hurley as a F/A & Hogan to extend to 2020

    An unexceptional but effective key position defender and a ruck-relief/backup ruck are the only real gaps in our list at the moment. Touch wood on kids continuing their development and all that. 

    We have midfielders and flankers in abundance now. Quite the shock - I think there's a bit of cognitive dissonance going around.

    If we could trade in the next Cam Pederson, or draft the next Marcus Adams, we'd be laughing.

    Of course, by this time next year Weidemann could push Pederson out of the forward line, and O.M could be our missing 'true tall' defender. Leaving Pederson as the hardworking floating tall defender who also pinches in the ruck.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
