hawks are already setting up to throw everything at him, unfortunately, and his best mate plays there and has just signed a backloaded four year deal to help...

If indeed O'Meara signed a back-ended deal to help free up space and the rumours about Tom Mitchell and Chad Wingard doing the same are true, then...

1. The Hawks have space to chase Coniglio, and

2. They are setting themselves up for a bigger than Buddy budget hole when all the back-end pay comes due on players on the age slide.

 

Our targets are restrained by us getting Lever and May on big dollars. Lewis retirement likely to free up $$$$ 

3 most likely 

Zac Jones

Callum AH Chee

Jackson Nelson

3 running midfielders.

That's pretty much it.  It was very much a tongue in cheek suggestion from me.  I was trying to highlight the point that a few people just want someone with pace in the side, or to recruit someone with pace, without actually looking fully at what they bring to the side.  A few rounds ago there were suggestions we should bring Baker in, purely because he is quick.  We need much, much more than just pace.

Oh I realised you were taking the [censored]. It just reminded me how bad Blease was.

I was rapt when we picked him up in the draft. How wrong I was.

We are a bit slow. But it's not as bad as some think. I'm hoping we pick up a hard running mid or two this year. Port have done extremely well by picking up Rozzee, Duursma, Butters and Drew. All of a sudden they are flush with youth and speed. It can turn around pretty quickly.

We should have a heap of cash to play with IMO. Hogan would have freed up a bit.

I think I remember something about MFC enquiring with the Eagles about this Jack Petruccelle kid during last years trade period. shame it didn't go anywhere, he's kicked 5 goals tonight and has got some decent wheels on him. could of been a good get for us running around on the big spaces of the MCG. looks just the sort we lack.

A few of our regular posters were strong on him in his draft year. We had three chances to get him but picked Spargo, Fritsch and Petty.

Not so big in current terms 'norm'.

We don't have anyone close to the $1mill mark so I'm sure we have plenty of cap space if we choose to use it.

That would have all went to May.

Most. Sure. Front ended hopefully.

The club advised mid last year that we had enough room to go after another player in the trade period. We lost Hogan and got May. Everything else isnt worth analysis.

We should have a heap of cash. Just my opinion.

we need speed, x factor, goal scoring ability, crumbing ability

according to footywire out of contract 

1. tippa    ess

2. jamie elliot    coll

surely we will make a play

peter wright, also ooc


If we finish bottom which is a strong possibility.

- Draft Matt Rowell with pick 1

- Trade out Petracca to Port for pick 15.

- On trade pick 15 to GWS for Patton

- Pick 19 to GCSuns for Jack Martin

In: Patton, Rowell, Martin

Retire: Lewis Jones Jetta 

2020 side:

Hibberd May Hore

Hunt Lever Salem

Rowell Oliver Martin

Fritsch TMac Hannan

Melksham Patton Weideman 

Gawn Brayshaw Viney

Harmes Stretch Sparrow Kolodjashnij 

There was some talk we were interested in Langdon from Freo

Hes exactly what we need.

I understand Langdon has put contract talks on hold

Jack Martin will not be traded for pick 19.  More like 10 or higher

I like Langdon, but his delivery by foot can be iffy


Need to look at those clubs who will need salary cap relief and trade hard for a player in the 10-15 range of that club's best 22.

Off the top of my head both Sydney and GWS will be looking to create room. You would think Collingwood and Richmond would be in a similar boat.

I watched the swans game last night and was very impressed with their Jordan Dawson. Its the first time i have him and I think he shows great potential on last nights effort. I've discovered he's from SA, but does anyone know his contract status? Again, based on last nights showing, could be a great long term pick up.

Carlton are chasing Coniglio hard and have been for a while

Zak Jones moving up the pecking order at Sydney this year may push his price up if he shines. His hard run and leg speed are what we need through the middle.  Not sold on his decision making and disposal 

Agree. Zak Jones is not polished and composed enough for the type of midfielder we need. Viney, Clarry and Gus need blokes on the outside who ooze speed AND class. That’s what’s missing.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
