No no no 

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.

    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.

    No way they would take that

    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.

    Has serious pace and a touch of class. I’d probably look elsewhere but you never know, could be worth a punt.

  • Quote

    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.

    Turns 28 at seasons end. Maybe has 2-3 years left. 

    If he was 22-23 age profile I would be keen.

    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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
