Less then 24 hours left in trade period.

Worth throwing Pick 47 to Hawthorn for this guy and see what we can do with him???

Depth but good depth.

Is he able to play the role we want Gaff for?

he can run and spread, but he can't kick for peanuts

 

I see he remains out of contract and potentially out the door at the Hawks.  Would he be a pre-season draft option?  

He fits the right age profile in that he is only 22.

If he gets delisted, he can walk into the club of his choice.

No thanks: a list already clogged with them types...

 

We could sign him as a DFA couldn’t we..?

Regardless, while he’s no star, he has pace, endurance and can find the footy and whilst his disposal needs some work, he’d be very good depth at worst.

He’s definitely worth a look IMHO.

no no no

 

thought we had stopped recruiting smaller midfielders who butcher the ball

 

the kid can run but he's useless if he can't hit a team mate 


I'm in a mood for speed this draft season.

But...

There's multiple speedy youngsters in this draft at a few different sizes and roles, and with more 'upside' as far as actually having a real impact with that speed.

Surpised Hartung hasn't retired from the neck strains of watching the ball go right back over his head. Though, the soreness would explain why he only manages 4 contested possessions and just over a tackle a game.

A young Isaac Smith, he ain't.

 

Talk about Hartung butchering the ball,Nat does a lot of that,perhaps we can give the Hawks Nat for a 4th rounder.

Trade Week is finished ENYAW. Sail away.

 

He’s soft and he can’t kick. 


I'd only entertain the thought of adding him to the MFC if he applied to be the runner (unless of course Crossy is still our runner)

Poor man's Sam Blease

Sure you haven't got this back-to-front?

He's played an average of 15.75 games per year over four years, the first couple of which were with a Premiership team. I'm agnostic about whether we should add him to our list, but I think it might be fairer to suggest Sam Blease is a poor man's Billy Hartung. 

I think T Viney and/or Taylor should talk to Jordan Lewis and get his opinion whether to get him as DFA ?

I was joking. He's pretty average though.

I often prefer 2 spaces,  much like after the full stop. 

That way,  it's easier to read those long rambling rants. 

The supersized paragraph is another odd offering - one starts reading the 8th or 9th line then one quickly realises that you've already read it.  Then,  you lose your spot and then give up.

He's still having digs at Nathan Jones, probably another still bitter about golden boy Jack being dumped by the club & taking it out on a bloke who really bleeds for us...... pathetic excuse of a 'supporter', wish we could dump a few them off on port adelaide along with Jack the way they are carrying on.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
