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 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
