unrestricted free agent at the end of 2018

i've always liked him as a player personally

he'd be another mid / forward combo player

but in terms of free agents at the end of the year, i'd rather get gaff

    We should definitely be in the market for a free agent at the end of this season. Vince will most likely retire and Lewis would have one year left, Jones probably 3. We are also right in our window so should throw the kitchen sink at winning premierships over the next 5 seasons.

    I'd have a crack at any of the following:

    Luke Dahlhaus

    Andrew Gaff

    Marc Murphy

    Rory Sloane

    Sloane would be worth getting just for the Adelaide melts. 

    Tay-Tay Walker would go cray-cray.

    We should be chasing Gaff on your behalf Ethan. I'm sure you'd get a few chuckles out of it out west.

    This would be great, I’d wear my MFC jumper into work with Gaff’s number on the back. They take things very personally over here, I’d probably lose my job.

    I would take Dahlhaus in a heartbeat. Good player. As for Gaff I must be different from other people. No thanks.

    I am with you. Gaff is massively over rated. He has been very ordinary in September

    If his Family weren’t Demons, he would be mostly unknown. 

    Dahlhous is twice the player

    bit of a coin toss between gaff and dalhaus - very similar stats, same age

    i'd take either (depending on price)

    Dahlhaus is well ahead of Gaff as a target for mine.

    Gaff is very much an outside player which isn’t the Melbourne mould. Even our outside players are more than willing to get their hands dirty and win their own ball. We want versatility and Dahlhaus provides that. He’d be a big loss for the dogs. Arguably their second best player.

    No for mine. Money better spent keeping our group together. We have youth that should - all going well - be on Dahlhaus level by years end. Plus, we have a strong midfield, and there would be no point forking (a lot) for what would be a forward pocket player.

    They're both overrated as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm all for getting Gaff. Exactly what we need and he would be very gettable.

    I wouldn't be chasing Dahlhaus. We have a heap of players competing for that hff position. I would much rather spend the money on someone we need.

    Sloane and Lynch would both be amazing but I think they will stay or there will be other clubs who will make godfather offers to them. I don't want to break the bank.

    We will be spending all our spare change on Ollie Wines.  Forget Dalhaus.

    I'd go Sloane, with a $3.2mill over 4yrs contract offer.

    ($850thou Yr1,   $650thou Yrs2&3,  $1m Yr4) = $3.2m over 4yrs, mostly back-ended. If we can squeeze it in.

    We need a mature player of his type.

    We need that quality runner, who is not totally outside.

    WE chased him a few years ago and correct me if l am wrong, however l remember reading it in the papers as the Bulldoggies put a halt to it as he was still serving  a contract. He can hold his own . Mid 20s.

    Good goal sneak. Certainly worth considering

    Point of order. His mother and brother are Demons. His father is a Richmond supporter.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
