I'd rather go for Hartung and Oxley.

Oxley isn't best 22 for Collingwood, so we don't need to recruit him to avoid a repeat of the 2013 QB :laugh:

    Hartung no and I’d prefer Jake Neade over Menzel. Didn’t really ignite at Port but maybe we can work some magic with him.

    "Was delisted by Port Adelaide on Monday, despite being one of the best pressure forwards in the league. He’s managed just 15 games from the past two seasons, but his record of 55 goals from 66 games stacks up well. Neade impressed in the SANFL in 2018 with his ball-winning ability (17 disposals per outing) and pressure (six tackles). At 24, Neade has age on his side as well."

    Sounds interesting, i wonder why he's rarely been suggested on this forum though?

    Seems an upgrade on JKH to me. Not a racist comparison. Just we went for versatility for a while at the expense of genuine forward crumbers. What I've seen of Jake he can perform this role and apply forward pressure as well.

    We would go from having a surplus of Jacks to having a surplus of Jakes

    Is anyone on top of the situation? Why was he delisted? Any personal issues? He's not lazy if he's a good pressure player. Perhaps a delisting because of a plan to get Rankine?

    Not sure, looking at all the delisted players most or nearly all are ‘meh’ whereas Neade raised an eyebrow. From what I have seen of him he looked ready to explode in some games, he’s an ‘almost there’ type of player imo. 

    At 24 you would think Port might have kept him when you look at some the players getting close to or above 30. Then again you might be onto something with the draft, they have 3 picks in the top 15 to target certain needs.

    Until he had his groin injury he was the most dangerous small forward in the competition.

    Menzel. No way. I would consider Townsend for depth though.

    Now that it's official I'd probably be happy enough to take a punt on him.

    If he defended like he attacked, he would be a 2-first-round-pick trade candidate.

     

    But he doesn't, so he isn't.

    Pass.

    Menzel no. 

    Murdoch yes.  Comes for free. Real pace. More goalkickers. Replaces Kent for nothing.  

    On the injured list???

    Murdoch is no good, can run fast but has no idea about footy.

    Better off with Usain Bolt as a cat B rookie, I hear he's looking for a gig.

    Menzel is a very smart medium forward who can really hurt teams on the scoreboard, he will get a gig somewhere, that said, not with us.

    He doesn’t fit with our game style, so would be staggered if we were to recruit him.

    Neade in the other hand, may be worth considering, but I haven’t seen him enough to have an informed opinion

    Get Menzel and make him a Alan Parsons Project. There is no argument the bloke can play and if comes free and we are scratching around for spots to fill, who knows, maybe we can teach him to defend vigorously. Otherwise he and Garlett can kick goals together with the wind at Casey. 

    PS By Alan Parsons I mean Brendan McCartney

    We can’t make him defend, no-one can

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
