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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
