His nickname at Geelong is blister, pops up when the hard works done. 

No offence but he’s exactly the type of player we should stay away from. He can find the goals, all too inconsistently though. 

I would've thought goal kicking consistency is his exact strength. 2 goals a game guaranteed per year. He's obviously a lazy player Goody wouldn't go near, as evidences by Garlett sitting in the VFL. He's also never played more than 19 games in a year.

Dream shopping list

1 -    Gun outside mid  (Andrew Gaff)

2  -   Proven tough reliable KPD who can shut down an opponent and also find the footy a la Hurley (Steven May)

3 -   Electrifying X factor excitement machine in the mold of Jurrah/Farmer  (???)

Steven May, as already stated.

Point 3, well where did we find Jurrah?  How did we get Farmer?

1. Andrew Gaff 

2. Darcy Moore (can play any position) 

3. Kobe Farmer (can’t be too far away)

I love a good trade hypothetical thread, but I feel that people should add ‘How we’d get said player...’ to their suggestions.  There are many suggestions here that are in no way realistic if we didn’t trade out Hogan, Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw or Gawn.

Alright, I feel dirty even putting this out there but.....

 

Make a big play for Lynch, can’t see GC matching the bid, pick 3 better than what they will get IMO if Lynch chose to come to us. Then trade Hogan (who I love and this is the only scenario I would even consider trading him) to Fred for say, Andrew Brayshaw.

 

If we could make it happen, then it would be hard not to do it.

 

Need to wash my mouth out with soap now....

I think we need to be aggressive and trade for young talent;

Out with the slow and players who cannot kick. I won’t name them!

- Gaff (is a star and very gettable) We must make this happen. Free Agent so we don’t have to trade.

- Tom McCartin! He is a first year player and going be a star! Not sure if he can be traded this early in his career but is definitely a player we should be looking at. I believe he can be a genuine full forward. 

- Dylan Shiel. I belief he is un-contracted. Improves our mid field immensely. 

We need to be aggressive this trade period. Full stop................

I suspect Hogan is on around 600k but is likely to go to 800k next contract renewal if his 2019 form justifies it. Lynch arguable 1.2M.

Worth doing the sums but I would want Brayshaw and Freo's first rounder for Hogan. Might work.

I think Shiel is contracted until the end of 2019.

We just need to continue to stockpile on talent. Whether thats through the draft or trade.

geez the players looking to move from their current clubs would be finding the dees game style pretty damn exciting! i reckon the recruitment team have a few surprises for us all over the next few months.. as we don't have much to trade with, it could centre around a 3 or 4-way complicated trade situation with lower picks for draft points, etc..

Maybe a Ruckman and another forward would be ideal

Are you referring to Darcy Moore?

Any guy who can only ruck would become very frustrated living in Max’s long shadow.

I think Leuenberger is out of Contract this year, would be a handy back up to Maxy.

And also an outside mid with ball skills.

Not predictive text or you would have that's right.

Did anyone catch McClure on SEN this morning, I only caught the last bit of it but did he say that a club was throwing everything at Hogan? And if so, which club was it?

Freeeeeeeeooooooooooo. Will the deal they’re putting together involve Cerra and draft picks? It could. You heard it here first. #ETtradewhisperer.

Hugh Goddard and Kieran Collins, both highly rated juniors who have had their share of injury issues.

Both delisted... could be DFA or Rookie option if we’re looking at out key defensive depth.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
