I guess what is not mentioned is that the MFC has already stitched up one of the guys who would have been on of the biggest name free agents of 2019:

 

Steven May.

    Cogniglio or Tomlinson could be handy.  Would be nice to get a FA without giving up draft picks

    Coniglio is a serious jet. IMO was unlucky not to be named All Australian last year. One of the best rounded goal kicking midfielders in the game. I'd love to land him, but I suspect it's either GWS or a return home to WA.

     

    We should just focus on keeping our own going forward. Keep Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Lever etc together and the success will come.

    I know he doesn't pass the 'no DH' test, but Libba could be an A grade mid if he got his [censored] together. Can't see him leaving WB, but stranger things have happened, and we have Macca and a bunch of others who I'd back to pull him into line.

    AFL website has clubs circling Cogniglio, with Freo the favourites. However 'The Rabbit' grew up despising Freo. Article also has Carlton and Hawthorn (surprise, surprise) in the race.

    I’d rather Harley Burnnell if we’re going to take a top of the range dh.

    But fortunately we’re in a position where quality people and players are wanting to come to the club now and we don’t need to worry about needing to draft dh’s to improve our talent but coming in and ruining our culture.

    Not that Harley Burnnell is a free agent just a dh we could get for nothing like a free agent.

    Yeah talented dh that I would prefer to Libba. Luckily we won’t take either.

    You'd rather Bennell than Libba???

    Glad you're not our list manager

    At what point are we done chasing new players and more concerned with keeping the current group we have together? Now, or if not soon I would imagine 

    None of these names jump off the page for us anyway

    Agreed, we don't really need inside mids. We need speed, outside run and a small forward that actually has nous. We've seemed to be targeting a decent small forward for years ever since we picked up Addam Maric those years ago.

    Whitfield would be one of the last pieces of the puzzle and the only one from GWS I'd pursue.

    Never, we should never stop looking to improve the list.  we should do every year.

    I'd happily put a big bid in for Jamie Elliott. Worse case scenario it makes the Pies pay more to keep him.

    Stephen Hill if the price is right? Come play wing/back flank and finish your career with some wins.

    Brandon Ellis for the right price? Has only had one great year in 2017 since his early days but he can run and kick.

    Un-retiring Cyril is still a great idea.

    Realistically we've signed Salem, we need to get Weid done at a fair price and then it's probably more shopping around the edges looking for guys who can fill needs.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
