Daw a possible target?

So we aren't looking for a forward/ ruck at the moment? It's not a hole in our impressive depth?

Yes we could be but Daw is not worth a 2nd round pick, nowhere near it.

...and if we were to trade it would be like for like, a player struggling for a game around mid 20's in age. Not a kid with plenty of development left in him...

    There are better options that our 'surplus' mids could attract... Like Ebola, typhoid or a left over parma from Parma Night at the Myrninong Pub.

    Majak would be a poor fit for our club, I would look else where because our depth in the middle will be seen like GWS soon. Too much top end talent will squeeze out fringe players that will leave to get game time elsewhere(Like how we got Tyson). Daw is in the Not Quite Right Bin for me. Pass.

    How about Dawes for Daw?

    Looks like D'Land is getting in earlier and earlier on the obscure players to draft or trade this year

    it always amazes me how even the most mediocre player suddenly becomes a "superstar" come trade week

    I wouldn't want to pay overs but I think North would be interested in one of our surplus mids. 

     

    As as for Daw himself I've always had a feeling he would eventually click and become a genuine player with some real X factor. Nothing suggests otherwise in his time ON the field anyway. Tall, lightning fast, developing forward/ruck that seems quite coachable. If Brown hadn't come on the way he had he would have 15 odd more games under his belt for sure. I'd love for this to happen for us.

    Acceptable trades IMHO;

     

    Straight second Rd pick

    Hunt (Lumumba to replace)

    Salem with a pick to go our way (purely as Melksham is to come in next year)

    Kent (small forwards are overflowing)

    ANB (he is too talented to fall behind Trenners once he returns)

     

    I'd love not to lose any players but that's not logical going forward and I've tried to be realistic in what it would cost to get him here. ANB, Kent and Hunt might need pick exchanges to come into play as well to get the balance right. Thoughts?

    [censored] me.

    You have to be joking! 

    Even North have realised he has limited upside even after 7 years in the system.

    You are convinced that a 25yr old 195cm veteran of 17 games will not make it? Based on what if I may ask?

    This can only be a joke, right?

  • Quote

    You say you wouldn't pay overs, but then offer up several scenarios that are all massive overs!

    Even if he were a DFA, he doesn't fit the no d*ck head policy of our club. Not a guy of good character.

     

    PASS.

    He can't string good quarters at AFL level together, let alone good games.

     

    He's an amazing looking athlete but he's not a good enough footballer.

    I suspect that you are right.

    Extraordinary post. You do realise that if we wanted him we could have taken him as a ROOKIE in the off-season with us having picks before North?

    I wouldn't even take him for free. He's useless.

    Trading him for Kent? Good grief man.

    A profoundly depressing thread as to what football has become. God almighty we have finally reason to enjoy our football and our team and to look forward to games to come and folks are talking about trades like a fish market. Perhaps follow real estate rather than the footy. Do you ever feel passionate about anything or is it just a marketplace and a trade?

    No, why don't you stop warging about and leave earlier?!

    Fn Starks.

     

    The only Stark I trust is Tony.

    Just sign the Accords, Steve...

    Why don't we have a GoT thread on here?

    Or a GoT/Marvel mashup to keep rpfc happy.

    Before or after we signed up Spencer for another year is probably an important question.

    I'd have Majak as a back up if the club feels the need to have someone else alongside Spencer, possibly whilst Mitch King is injured. But I wouldn't be offering him more than a 1 year deal and wouldn't be that keen on a main list spot even if he's earnt it.

    As a cheap buy I don't mind him, but not as anything more.

    I was on Steve's side, for what it's worth.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
