As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

As much as we hope we look far and wide, we will more then likely end up with more Casey players on our list.

Maybe he's saying that's what Freo will want for him?

Well, I wouldn't pay it.

FWIW i saw this on bigfooty from someone who has good sources.

We are already in talks with Sydney! Don’t know the full details.

Also have held discussions with Nathan Freeman. I am only assuming for the mid-draft.

Is it just me or is this the most epically and deviously planned tanking ever

prelim 18

surgeries to 5000 players

bottom 4 ‘19

high draft ‘19

2020-2024 gfs

epic

I should really re search this but didn't the Eagles make the prelim or Granny the year after finishing second last and securing nic nat?

2017 - 1st pick 29 Spargo 2nd pick 31 Fritch

2018 - 1st pick 27 Tom Sparrow  2nd pick 33 James Jordan - Too early to say stuff ups.

Plenty of lemons went before Fritch and not many stars after him. I think Sparrow will be OK

Spargo & Fritch have played 50 games between them, even Freo who picked Brayshaw & Cerra have less games from their first 2 picks (picks 2 & 5) Yes I would rather have Brayshaw & Cerra but we didn't have pick  2 & 5

He isn’t the sort of speedy player I’m after. He is fast like Hibbo is fast. In that he runs fast and turns it over. No thanks.

Yep. He’s terrible too. 

I haven’t updated that fave player thing in 3 years. Clearly.

Don’t quote me on it - just saw some chit chat on BF and relaying it

Fair. Wasn’t having a go at you at all. Just really hope we don’t keep chasing the same type of players we already have enough of. 

Not sure who we are into, but would like to see what we would get in return for Frost, OMac, Petracca, Garlett, Hunt, ANB and Viney. 

This year will define us and we need to be ruthless. We have severely overestimated our list. 

 

We have to take a punt on Nathan Freeman in teh Mid Season draft... its the exact time to do it.. the season is done, lets give him crack, talent cant be denied, he is now getting time on teh park and playing really well.

All good - I didn’t take it that way . Just wanted to be clear I don’t have any inside connections

  • 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?
