And would we be interested in chasing him? Do we have any way to make a trade if we were? 

I believe we have to use our first round pick this year at the draft, so we probably wont have the currency unless someone gets traded out.

Thoughts?

    There is something about Jack Martin that doesn't sit right with me. 

    Perhaps it's his consistency. He has this seemingly limitless potential but never produces week to week.

    Would take a proper pre season & good conditioning/fitness ?

    Exactly the kind of player we need. Would play that wing/half forward role perfect with his speed and football smarts.

    But he's not an inside midfielder so we'll pass anyway.

    If he's any good ( really ) Dew will try to keep him. If he doesn't...we probably don't want him ;)

    We will take Brayden Sier instead and add him to our list of inside mids....

    Irrespective of who is available we have to hit the draft hard this year. You can't go four years without adding quality youngsters to your list without causing a major issue in the future (see Melbourne 2007-2014 as a result of list management issues in the early 2000s).

    Outside mid, good in the air and kicks goals. Would love him at the Dees. 

    In terms of trade value GC would likely want 2 first rounders for him, I don't think many teams will be willing to part with that kind of currency...

    ssshhH  Ffs,   Mahoney and Co will see this,  and start thinking about retail therapy again.

    I wasn't keen on targeting KK when the likes of Shiel was available. I'm also underwhelmed by Jack Martin. Clearly, GC has a very poor development program as well as standards. It will probably take KK 12-months to get up to standard, same applies with May and his fitness (injuries aside). With that said, I don't mind the idea of targeting Martin, as long as the price is right. However, that never happens with "let's be friends and get the deal done" Mahoney. Also, I'd question the pursuit if the like of Josh Kelly was ignored. It's time we go hard and target these big names as opposed to these second or third rate players. The likes of Collingwood, Hawthorn, Richmond and Essendon continue to get it done (O'Meara, Mitchell, Treloar, Adams, Hoskin-Elliot, Prestia, Lynch, Smith, Shiel), why can't we.

    Martin would be huge addition. 

    It's a pipe dream though. 

    How would it be HUGE? He hasn't exactly set the world on fire. U18 potential stops once they're listed and constantly playing in the firsts.

    We will have between 3rd And 6th pick, that should get us someone fairly good

    Well it worked with Petracca he is huge!

    Isn't GWS Kelly a RFA this year? Or has he re-signed? If, if by chance we play finals, I'd throw at least $1mill pa to him and use our first rounder on young, fast mid with good decision making. Apparently we can't trade our 2019 1st rounder anyway

    He is class and polish, that's why he'd be huge.

    We have zero X-factor in our starting 22.

    He has the ability to kick a goal from nothing, the ability to set-up an opportunity for goal that wasn't there.

    He is quality and we are absolutely desperate for that forward of the ball.

    Would he get a game ahead of ANB though?

    • 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?

      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?
