He looks good then goes missing. Just is a finisher. Can’t accept the clubs stance of trading out Watts and getting someone like Hall. That would be shocking hypocrisy at its finest. 

You are right there. l don't think that we will pick him.

Pick 35 and late swap of picks for Aaron Hall & Tom Nicholls...

 

 

Is this your suggestion or what you've heard? I actually don't mind Nicholls as a back up, bit of a log though.

Watts & Pick 47 to Port

Aaron Young & Pick 30 to Gold Coast

Hall & Pick 57 to Melbourne

Trade Pick 57 to Freo for Balic.

Get it done Dees!

Note: This isn't a rumor I've heard. Just something I think suits all parties where everyone can walk away happy.

We then go to the draft with Picks 28 & 66 and upgrade Joel Smith to the senior list for our third list change.

I raise this guy...

Polled 9 brownlow votes in first 3 games last year before being dropped by Eade late in the year, now Dew has dropped him again with issues about his defensive side. Has credentials we are wanting, skills and speed and attacking player. I'd try to get him at EOY. Thoughts fellas?

I think he is probably similar to Garlett, he is capable of playing some high quality football but you wouldn't be able to trust him to always do the right things and could be a liability in big games.

Has plenty of attributes that we need and on paper he would seem a good fit, however, I can't imagine us having much interest in him.

Yes as a free agent ? Or if not then draft pick 50!! Impressive but not defensively

Hard not to argue with those points, but at pick 50 or whatever for eg may be worth a swoop, even pick 30. Considering we have depth issues he'd be an upgrade on what we have? Anyway, just brought it up as Dew has dropped him

I hope we can get to the point with good depth where we can take on players who have deficiencies but with high upside. I've seen him really dominate games. He's 27 so not super young though. Still if we can gain the luxury of getting cheaper players like him to turn them around for depth/upgrades, why not?

On a side note who the f is the guy in the photo who comes up when you google him? some fat white guy.

Didn't realise he was 27, bugger that then, if he hasn't clicked on yet how to play a team game forget it!

Meh. Can get a bit of the footy but strikes me as a player who doesn't do anything damaging with it. Doesn't hit a target as often as he should and doesn't put in the hard yards defensively. 

 

We have the similar player in Hunt !!!

I love the smell of unsubstantiated draft speculation in the morning 

Except its not unsubstantiated, nor speculation, wouldn't be through the draft and its currently the evening.... Just simply throwing his name up due to him being dropped :cool:

I had assumed Hall had gone missing big time on occasions last year, but his numbers were not bad. Dropped for disciplinary reasons, but more than a few big stat games. Only 3 times under 20.

Yes, he is soft. But we need an outside runner and could do worse than Hall.

I'd rather have Tom Gillies return to the side than recruit someone like Aaron Hall.  Doesn't run defensively, soft in the contest, only half decent when the chips fall his way.  Everything we shouldn't be looking at.

I'd take Hall in a flash. Sure, he is on the outer at the gold coast but that doesn't mean that he wouldn't become reinvigorated at a new club. Has outside speed, long penetrating kicking and offers spread. He can also go forward and kick goals.

Agreed 'sons'.  Hall's time has come and gone, if he was going to become consistent, he would have shown it by now.

pass, for me.

    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

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
