Weid will go to Collingwood, Lynch to us....simplez

Why would we give Weid away, who is under contract, for a 28 year old?  Nothing 'simplez' about it.  It's silly.

 

I don’t want him at Melbourne at all. 

But if he did come I’d want a camera trained on Tex the moment he is told that Lynch is buggering off to the Dees. Actually you may as well tell him about Sloane at the same time.

No. Weid will be a gun. He's a keeper.

You obviously don't read Demonland too closely, don't you know that Weid is barely VFL, let alone AFL standard.

He's not really injured he's been left out because of form and to save him embarrassment they've faked an injury.

Etc.......

Weids will be a gun. Has taken a bit mores f time but believe he will hit his straps, more likely next year. He will have a multipurpose role and will play his part to a tee. Roos got him with the Oliver draft deal for a reason!

Sloane is more of what we need imo. over Lynch.

A swing player similar to the mold of  Steven May would be handy, but I wonder if TSmith could do that ?  I think Smith is potentially very handy player.

I do not want to lose Weide.

I believe he will be our tall forward/follower as he grows his game.   A beaut kick as well. And a powerful mark around the ground, who will crash packs and bodies, like his GrandPa.

Cough, splutter, choke....... you do know he is 20?

Lynch is a gun but we only have room for 1 gun and that's Gaff end of story.

We have absolutely no need for Tom Lynch.

True, but we could force the market price up with speculation to allow other teams cap-out with a clapped-out sort... ?

Edited by DeezNuts

Our salary cap must have accidentally had an extra zero added to it.

Bank error in your favour, collect out of contract players.

Lynch isn't quick enough for the way the game is heading.

We have so many players of his pace and size.  We need more athletic diversity in our list.

Class runners who play both on the inside and outside.  One out there is a free agent.

 

Not sold on Gaff.  He is a very good player, but I wonder IF We,,, can do better.

He hasn't been a complete player in his career.  Only now is he doing the other bits of the game.   Why only now?

Are we the new Collingwood, getting linked to everyone out of contract 

We should be breaking bread with all of them, just for a chat.  Check the weather with them.


T Mac had an off day. We need another forward who can clunk marks. 

Maybe Weid but I'd trade him for Gaff.

Tom Lynch. No thanks. Why do people keeping talking about trading the weed. That would be plain out silly.

Wouldn't mind old Lynchy boy at half forward taking marks on a lead...at the end of year Adelaide Fire Sale

As much as I rate Lynchy, how many flankers do we need? Vanders, Bennell, Milkshake, Trac, Hunt, Brown, Hannah, Fritta..... he’s an upgrade yes, we can’t fit them all in.

Its a sad state of affairs that we’ve traded a lot for two key defenders that look very poor so far. I’d almost rather we go for Talia to free up one of Lever/May

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
