Whoa, lets not get too rough on the young person.

 

This is getting a wee bit too personal.

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. 


  • 3 weeks later...

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.

Adam Cerra. Are there whispers he will seek a return home? #HasETdoneitagain?

Edited by Ethan Tremblay

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.


We seem to be one club thats pretty quiet on club movements...?

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.

Added extra o’s

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.

  • 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?
