I just finished watching the legends game. Any chance we can trade back in Aaron Davey and Adem Yze? They are still better kicks than almost everyone on our list.

Whats really sad is that Mark Neeld landed  a bigger fish in his first month on the job (Mitch Clark) than Roos did in 3 years.

And how'd that go for us?

Mitch Clark turned out to be a big flop and Roos did a much better job at getting the right people to the club.

Watched it last night. While others were spraying them and kicking floaters Davey was still drilling flat 40m passes. Its actually still disturbing that we still have blokes on how list that simply cannot do the basic right, yet Yze and Davey would still be in our top 5 elite kickers.

Seriously how good would Aaron Davey be right now off a half back right now..

Davey, Yze and Travis Johnstone were the 3 best kicks i have ever seen at the Dees. They made it sure a pure delite to watch.

afl.com.au article stating that we are looking at bringing in another developing ruckman.  

Not sure what impact it has on the two Kings, in particular Max. 

I think Tom Campbell from the Dogs would be a GREAT get. Probably isn't a #1 ruckman, but has a great pair of hands and can kick a few snags. Could split the ruck 30/70 with Gawn. Doesn't need to ecumulate high numbers but could just have 10 disposals and 1goal to go with 10 hit outs to have a sizeable impact. 

 

I like to think we could emulate the Hawks' 2015 premiership forward setup-

Hogan = Roughead

Gunston = Watts

Schoenmakers = Weideman

Ceglar = Campbell

he could cost as little as a 3rd rounder

Not sure if you were looking for a response...my thoughts are that Max K seems unable to cement a spot at Casey so is in the Development League a lot.  Has been a rookie for a couple of years now so wonder if he will be kept on.  Mitch K has an ACL injury and is only 19 with no bulk on him so is a few years away from making the AFL side.  Which leaves us only with Spencer who is out of contract next year as an FA.  He was an FA this year and signed up for one year which I think was terrific of him knowing he would only get a game if Gawn was injured. 

So I would put another ruckman very high on our list of priorities, preferably someone who is in their early to mid 20's that can also play forward.

A couple of Twitter reports saying that we've offered Dal the same offer to play then coach as Thompson if Thompson says no.

I wonder if they'll be playing on each other this weekend. Dal Santo vs Thompson. Winner gets a demon contract. Jokes aside, it will be interesting to see how they both go

Clearly Goody really wants to get the leadership side of things right, i suspect sorting that will go a long way to the side becoming consistent, i thought Dal Santo played some pretty solid footy this year and he's a beautiful user of the ball

It's probably in our best interests that the Kangaroos beat Adelaide if it hastens Scott Thompsons decision. Would suck to have him linger due to Adelaide progressing deep into September before saying 'No' and Dal Santo unofficially takes up an offer from another club, as it's clearly in his best interest to have some security and not be 2nd in line behind Thompson waiting on his decision while another offer comes to him. We could miss out on both.

agree... Aaron Davey retired too early. Was another player pushed by Neeld (what a shocking coach he was. Set MFC back 3 years). 

Unfortunately injuries had caught up with him, he was cooked as far as AFL level play is concerned. Mentally he was gone as well.

his retiring b&f speech was outstanding tho, when he talked about how excited he was to see davey on the half-back flank, davey on the wing, and davey on the half-forward flank in years to come.

Is Jack Riewoldt a chance? I did read somewhere he was become frustrated with the current game plan... He, Watts and Weed would be great if Jesse walks.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
