    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
