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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
