Rohan, Tippett & Reid

Featured Replies

The rumours are getting stronger that Kurt Tippett will be at the Demons next season. Apparently we are looking at him to help Gawn and Hogan.

I would take him at the right price and length of contract.

 

Don't need any of these positions.  I'd rather back Jason Taylor in the draft or only take free agents that cost us nothing.

 

If Sydney is all set to jettison players, it will free up cap space, so I don't like our chances of pinching Jones.

Where are the rumours getting stronger, on here?

 


We probably have a spot for all three. Rohan for outside pace, Tippett as a big marking target and backup ruck, Reid as another key defender. Guess it all depends how much they cost. Probably most comfortable with Rohan, least comfortable with Tippett, and neutral about Reid.

They'd obviously much rather hold onto Jones than any of the players mentioned in this thread, so I'd say you're on the money.

Rumors = Demonland mastication?

Jones is promising. He is an intense player. Hits the ball at full tilt. I'd be surprised if they let him go. He is on his way to becoming an impact player, and his skills are rapidly improving. I have been very impressed to see his kicking looking so sharp at times - with his errors becoming less frequent. It would be a good time to offer Jones overs (just to put some more pressure on Sydney, and also in hope of luring Jones ourselves).

An easier solution would be if we just convinced Josh Kennedy to come to us and leave the other three behind. 

This^^^ The rest are damaged Goods

This, I would be interested in Reid as a key defender, judges the ball really well in the air and could play on the bigger forwards. However, his price tag is ridiculous for his output.

 

Would look at all of these guys for the right price. Who are we kidding on here?

What rumours? Do you mean people on DL suggesting it?

Noooooooo!!!!

Pending 'extreme vetting' I'd take Reid. Worried his body can't keep up though

Rumours spread by Tippert's manager most probably.

Jump at all three of them!

 

Tippett swapping with Gawn as ruck forward is mouth watering.

We need a classy speedy wingman. I'd like to see Rohan fill that void. Haven't had a gun wingman since Steven Stretch and Tingay (loved Robbie and Alan Johnson growing up)

Reid could play the extra defender we're looking for. 

 

We need to catch up to gws and doing things like this is the only way it will happen. Or else for the next 5-8 years we're all playing for second..

Injury prone, soft and very inconsistent

2 out 3 will be on the injury list every week. 

They are so over rated in particular Reid.  He is rubbish 


Gary Rohan reminds me very much of Jayden Hunt.

 

 

Apart from the fact that Hunt attacks the contest like a maniac, and the fact that he got knocked T.F.O running head first into the biggest guy on the field to offer defensive pressure, hit the ground face first like he had been shot through the head, but played the following week, whereas Rohan would have feigned a tackle after shortening his steps, and then missed 6 weeks with a torn hammy.

Exactly, it's easy for players like this to appear handy and of value when you've been part of a successful TEAM for a period of time.

They're C graders and as the Swans have dropped off, they've been highlighted as the most affected.

 

Tippet has been omitted this week

I thought Tippett was huge in the ruck last year. We've also seen him play well in finals as a forward. He's been disappointing this year for sure though. I think well worth the risk at the right price... 

Tippett has been a huge disappointment for the swans. I reckon he performed better with the crows. They paid him a huge amount of money. Nope wouldn't want him.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
