Random Task

Tomlinson is cr@p. Marks the ball, a million decisions go through his mind so he freaks out and kicks it long down the line everytime. will definitely slow down our ball movement.

no idea why we aren't interested in Papley. he is exactly what we need. exactly.

    Here’s how I think this is going down.

    GC will get the priority pick and 2 becomes 3, not ideal but they probably need all the help they can get just now. Anderson is out of reach and so we do the following:

    Langdon for pick 21

    Tomlinson as FA

    option 1 (left field): We get Jamie Elliot as FA and we take pick 3 to the draft for Young

    option 2: We trade 3 to GWS for 12 and 15 and go for players like Ash and Cody Weightman. 

    IMO Ash wont be there at 12, he is a bona fide top 10 pick. I think we need Lachie Young, but i feel like we are going to split the pick, so we are going to get 2 players. Jamie Elliott will not leave the pies and the Pies wont let him, they have invested so much in him, thats a pipe dream.

    You may well be right; however, it IS pipe dream season.

    I am sitting a long way from the corridors of power in the MFC but even I hear a few whispers now and then.

     

    Not really earth shattering or anything new. Langdon is an all but done deal unless a wrinkle develops. We are in the mix for Tomlinson with"what is being termed "a better than even chance."

    We have also had advanced talk with a forward that has been linked to a trade with the Saints.This rumour is very flimsy and there does not seem to be much to it so I will not pass on any further details at this stage.

    I know it's still early, but there's a distinct lack of riddles in the last 24 months. 

    Do better, Demonland.

    Ben King has been linked to the Saints... I suspect we have an interest also.

    I hope we snaffle up Ben King. Fingers crossed we've advanced talks further.

    I reckon Ah Chee from Suns and Ellis Yolman are worth a look. 

    They can't be any worse then the likes of Stretch, ANB, JKH etc

    Also by getting Langdon via trade, Tomlinson as a FA and one or 2 more FAs enables to keep pick 2/3 or try upgrade.

    Not too bad without costing much at all

    Yep, Ellis Yolman has pace and could be handy on the outside. Ah Chee, likewise.

    Maybe we have expressed interest in Papley, who knows? It was reported some kind of  clause was triggered in his contract and it now runs until 2023 and there were rumours the Swans could ask for 2 first round picks (which sounds ridiculous to me) from the Blues. If those reports are accurate, would we be willing to part with something that high for Papley? 

    What do ‘landers think he’s actually worth?

    The talk of Papley got a top 10 pick is ridiculous. He’s good but not that good. The fact he’s contracted for a few more years might mean a desperate club could offer it.

    Agreed. Our bottom 6 players who are regularly getting a game are poor, it’s about upgrading these types for better ones. Not every trade is about getting in a star or someone who is going to (potentially) be one.

    100%..  thats why Tom cutler should be on our radar, wont cost alot but is better then the bottom 6. refresh the depth, and inject a couple "need players" and get some kids.

    Agree D3. We know what our bottom 6 are capable of (not much), time to bring in some unknown quantities and see if we have some luck.

    How would we feel about this??

    Would pretty much make the off season. We need goal scoring power. We need quality smalls. We need marking options. He’s all of the above.

    We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and we’ve traded away all our first rounders for years on end now.

    To add Elliott and Tomlinson without giving up any picks would be huge for the club. Add in Langdon for a second round pick and that’s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
