    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.

    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?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
