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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
