Sorry guys. But we need to move on from Hamish.

Neither party wants Hartlett to go and for good reason. It was a nice thought.

While I sometimes think the apparent lack of interest that, (a)Melbourne are showing in other team's gun players, or (b)these guns are showing in coming to the Dee's, could be concerning, I have to remind myself that Team Roos is in charge and we are no longer a club of loose lips. As Roos wrote in that email posted somewhere here, don't believe the media hype. It is still very early days. Hearing that teams like Richmond are into all and sundry tells me we are better off working quietly to attract talent. We're the underdog, but most players and managers would be aware of our supposed cap space and MFC are vastly improved upon where we were 3 years ago, on and off field.

Let's face it no one farten knows what the fart is going on except the players and their agents.

for us slow people more info is needed

was that meant as a joke or not ...... :rolleyes:

maybe making a big finals play, a splash of cash.... so maybe cannot 'over commit', to others, too soon ???

I feel like we are in it, in a serious way now.

lets hope HH is sensible, & holds off til next year on any new deal, at Port?

Strange just after he extended his contact at the start of this season IIRC.

I think this is why...

"In 2013, they traded away their first round pick to secure Jared Polec. In 2014 they spent both their first and second round picks on Paddy Ryder. In 2015, they spent their first rounder and their 2016 second rounder on Charlie Dixon, and shuffled down their 2015 second round pick to get Jimmy Toumpas".  http://www.theroar.com.au/2016/09/02/afl-trade-rumours-port-give-hamish-hartlett-a-push/

So no rnd 1 pick over 3 years and only 2, 2nd rnd picks over 4 years. So, little highly rated young blood coming in.  Looks a combination of the Lyon/Hardwick model of trading in players when in the 'premiership window', except they misjudged their list and where they are re premiership.

I am just so glad we were 'forced' to the draft - I say 'forced' because we were not able to trade in an A-grader we had to take our picks to the draft.

Noticed thisin the sliding doors comments re: Port.   Something very, very strange going on with Hamish Hartlett.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-02/sliding-doors-bye-week-2016-afl

We should go for him IMO.  2017 1st Round Pick with something else coming back.

Outside mid with pace who can kick a mile.  I remember there was rumor we were close to getting him last year.

Exactly the type of player we need.  Just turned 26 and a good outside mid who's avereaged over 20 touches the last 4 years till this year.

Thoughts?

Questions over his inconsistent leadership. Otherwise, he does fit us perfectly.

How do we get a first round draft pick to give to them?

First rounder? Not sure of that. Has played a lot off the backline hasn't he? With Hibberd and Melksham to come in and the emergence of Hunt, do we need another HB?

 

He has been shifted around and used in a variety of roles but he is a natural midfielder/half-forward.

He is gun. 

Just incredibly injury prone.

His biggest problem is that he is extremely one-sided which is exactly what one of our biggest weaknesses is at the moment.

What is your definition of one-sided?

From what I've seen he is very dual-sided. Can kick very well on both sides.

He had a poor season. Not a huge possession winner.  Great kick of the footy though.  Just turned 26.  I would not be against getting him, depending on the price as always.  No way would I trade a first rounder for him.

Next years (2017) first round pick.

The AFL introduced trading 'future picks' last year.

Yes i know that. We traded our first rounder last year to GC which is why we can't trade it to Port this year. I would assume if Port wanted to trade HH they want a first rounder in the upcoming draft not next year, hence my comment.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
