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.

Posted

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.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
