The Australian newspaper reports that Luke Dahlhaus, one of the bigger names on the free agency market, is in the sights of Cats.

Should we try to get him?

    Nope!

    We have too many similar types. I believe Luke would sit outside our best 22.

    i'd have him, happily, as as a free agent i think he'd add immediate depth to our side

    he'd get a game ahead of spargo, hannan, and possibly avb in our side

    i reckon if we can teach melksham how to be a gun, we could do similar with dahlhaus, and with mccartney there he'd know what sort of a person he is and how he'd fit into our side

    gaff should, absolutely, be the priority

    Dahlhaus is a superior player than, Spargo, ANB, AVB, Hannan, JKH & Kent. He is also more of what we need than Tyson. To say he’s not Best 22 is just wrong.

    I don't think he is every player except JKH who is useless has a different skill set to him. Can't see where he fits into the 22. Really lost form since their premiership.

    At 26 should have a few years left. Bad ankle injury might have slowed him down this year.

    Last year averaged 25 possessions and 4.5 tackles. That puts him in pretty good, almost elite company for a half forward. Wish Petracca could have these numbers! 

    Free agency he is worth a look at but not essential like Gaff or Whitfield, Hill etc.

    I watched a few doggies games this year due to them getting some good free to air slots and Dahlhouse didn't look anything like he has been in years gone by.

    Still a good player in his say but he could be on the decline.

    Looks slower than a couple of years ago, less agility. Would like to speak with the Richmond doctor before any serious consideration for us

    Alot of the Doggies players seem to be retiring around there mid twenties lately, for that reason i would let him go through to the keeper.

    Had a down year but was a great player, especially in their premiership year. 

    At only 26 years old I'd be backing him in to get back to his best, plus a change of scenery may do him good.

    My preference is 1) Gaff 2) Dahlhaus

    Wrong comparison's, he hasn't been playing as close to goal as those you've mentioned. He did but in the last couple of years has been playing more wing/inside mid. He's only kicked 2 goals for the whole season (he played 17 games). While I do think he's an improvement on JHK playing the same role, he would also cost a lot more. His 2013 - 2016 form and he's a good in, the form over the last 2 years would mean he'd be a fringe player, handy for depth and hope he comes good again but we shouldn't pay a heap for him.

    He grew up just out of Geelong - played for Leopold - may want to move back?

    of course he is. Scott is king of the top ups.

    Aren't we supposed to be starting these random recruitment threads when we are rubbish and no chance to make the finals?

    My comparisons (no need for your apostrophe) weren’t based on playing close to goal, they were simply small/medium players that regularly make best 22.

    Not sure if he'll regain that form either.

    Has played 17 games this season and kicked 2 goals as a forward and only 5 goal assists. Hmm something's wrong.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
