Just been delisted.

In a team lacking outisde run from the midfield, do we consider picking him up or possibly rookie him?

If we can get him for nothing, why not?

    Only 23, if healthy worth a rookie

    I thought he had a good season in 2017, but the Hawks delisted him.  North have delisted him 12 months later.

    Being delisted twice in 12 months is a bit of a worry, however theres a decent chance someone will pick him up.

    Sure why not. And Toumpas as well. One on each wing.

    Id rather Usain Bolt. You will get the same result

    If we’re in the market for one eye catching run per game that makes casual supporters go gee he looks good, then go for it.

    Put Garlett through an Intense off season endurance program and turn him into a fast burst outside mid if he is on list next year, bust a gut or you're out. Would be the same result as recruiting hartung though if they both shirk when it's their turn to go all in and don't have a ruthless kamikaze attitude

    Very surprising given his body of work at North. Seems like something behind the scenes that is making clubs turn their back on him.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing watts again as a rookie after port drops him

    serious?

    yep, yep, nope.

    Sure he looks good running down a wing, but after he immediately turns it over by foot, all our players' would be out of position.

    Opposition teams would be instructed to leave him free, so he can end up with the ball and virtually guarantee you'll get it back.

    No no no

    We have finally progressed to a point where, as a club, we no longer have to waste a single second of our time considering using a spot on our list for players like this.

    Hallelujah.

    When we are on about having A graders why would we even consider?

    A definite no from me.  Jayden Hunt has some similar attributes, but is a much better footballer.  Continue to work on Hunty's development and build his confidence, and save the list space for (hopefully) another Jason Taylor late pick gem.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
