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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
