Unrestricted free agent and a clear upgrade on someone like Mitch hannan or James harmes. 

Surely worth a look?

Cost nothing but money, and has much more talent than the overwhelming majority on our list.

Would love to see him play for us, but injuries surely a concern?

Very lazy player who often finds himself in space due to the fact he doesn't follow a man wen out of possession.  Has had 22 tackles and 15 1%s from 17 games this year.

 

We often criticise Watts and Gartlett for their defensive efforts:

Jack Watts 42 tackles from 16 games.

Jeff Gartlett 74 tackles from 21 games.

So he already has a handle on game plan and culture. It's a yes from me.

Ouch. Close thread before Slobo gets hold of it

Similar to JT for me. Has the talent but lacks the speed/agility and ability to apply pressure. you cannot play fwd without this unless if a very good team

They are reporting that Cats are thinking about whether to give him a contract even though he kicked 30 odd goals

its a pity that athletic ability is surpasing talent as a pre-requistite but there you go

No it's not athletic ability surpassing talent, but rather effort.

Has some x-factor but as mentioned in an earlier post, his defensive pressure is a serious concern. I'd prefer getting more games into Hannan. Maybe even Fritsch if we draft him.

I think that's why Geelong is not rushing to sign him.

He can take a grab, and if there is something we need more of its contested marks.

Shame about the lack of pressure/effort though.

Factor in his injury history and its a reluctant pass from me.

Perfect player for us... his lazyness will give us a permanent forward inside 50. Lol

I am sick of seeing an empty forward 50 when going forward. 

If we dont have to give up a draft pick or player. I would consider. Dangerous player and can kick goals. And is surprisingly 190cm. Allows Garlett to work up the ground and use his pace.

8 goals in two games v Dees. Match winner!

More chance of returning to Adelaide and playing with his brother. Could be key to any potential 3 way trade for Lever if Menzel does leave.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
