Do we have any chance of getting him?  Jones, Lewis and one other should free up enough salary cap space.

    Midfield, Midfield, Midfield.

    After that, its the midfield.

    Maybe then we can look at selling the farm for a forward saviour..... coz that has worked out really well for our backline thus far.

    Mids.

    Then more mids.

    Good ones.

    Whats the use Of constantly banging it inside 50 if we have no one to finish off?

    Been one of our biggest issues this season.

    He may cost too much. He’d be asking upwards of $1M per year which is probably too much. Just gotta pray that Weid can step up. 

    What’s Whitfield’s contract status at the moment? Is he OOC at years end? Or did he resign recently. Would sure like him on the wing and unlikely to cost that much.

    Would gladly pay him that much.   Hes an incredible player and an excitement machine.

    The money we got back in marketing $$ and extra memberships would easily cover his contract.

    If we want him, we’ll make it work and fit him in. I don’t concern myself with the salary cap.

    Like Cameron, I believe Whitfield is also OOC end of 2020.

    Not kidding at all really. Our midfield depth is not as flash as many think. Jones will be gone soon, and it could easily come to pass that one or 2 of our alleged "guns" refuse to extend/ask for trade if we dont improve drastically.

    Cameron would cost so much of our cap that it would make the rumors of disharmony in the ranks (because of the money some recent recruits are on) even louder.

    I would LOVE Cameron as he is a genuine game-breaker.

    We just cant afford to take another massive risk cost-wise until our last 2 big name recruits start paying dividends.

    What a joke. We get rid of a gun forward in Hogan & now we are in desperate need of another.

    Understand your point, but Hogan is having a terrible season.  His worst ever by far.

    Fair to say he isn't the next Wayne Cary/Jonathan Brown  that he looked like he was going to be early on.

    He is presently the best Key Forward in the comp and worth every cent.  Tom Boyd wasn't and got paid mega dollars on a long term deal (heavily front ended) and helped to win a premiership for the team with the longest drought who then passed the baton to us!

    Weid has, until this point, shown nothing to suggest he will be a contender going forward.  Trade bait at the moment and frees up room for an expensive Cameron deal.

    Foresight!  Yes yes yes.... memberships up and sponsors would be happy.  Maybe even more prime time TV coverage.  The AFL could NOT ignore the best forward in the comp complimented by a very competitive outfit around him with the capability of knocking over anyone at any time!

    Doubt he is getable

    MFCSS but well earned neita.  We are well overdue snaring a big fish in his prime and the other clubs always pinch them.  Some have pinched them from under our noses over the decades.  Our turn!  Go for broke we are in a narrow premiership window, it won't last.  The likes of Cameron may not come up again for another 3 to 5 years and by that stage we will likely be in a re-structuring phase under Goody or maybe a rebuilding phase (yet again) under a brand new coach if we stuff this window up.  And we will probably miss the next opportunity for a big trade deal in a similar window to this (if one arises!).  Then we'll be 60 plus years in the wilderness and might fall off a cliff once more!  Risk for reward!

    He'll go to hawthorn or Geelong  for 750k...its why I hate this competition

     So, offer him $1.25 mill or something he can't ignore Wells, mostly front ended.

    Hogan was not a gun Key Forward IMHO Wiz.  More of a part time decoy Key Forward (who forgot how to play that role in the way you would normally expect a Key Forward to play it) playing a wandering high forward role which occasionally also saw him drifting across HB to help out.  More a tall utility than a gun Key Forward.  But yes if he wasn't home sick and no issues keeping Hogan would have been nice.  Trade the Weid instead.

    Why is there a thread about Jeremy Cameron? Has this come up in the media or is the OP just throwing it out there based on nothing?

    Was something in the media a couple of weeks ago about Geelong trying to lure him in a year when he hits free agency.

    Yeah I understand that but at what point does it become too much to fit into our cap. If it cost us Oliver and Harmes/Gus/Tmac or any other player of significant importance is it really worth it? To gain one gun we could lose 2. I’m not sure I want that, but if it doesn’t then yeah by all means get him. 

    Thats part of list management I guess.

    No,  we don't need Cameron that much.  We need flankers of quality,  in all 4 corners of our team sheet.  and the Pivot...  this is where we need class.   Class we don't have Yet.

    the Bartels,  the Black's,  the Lappin's,  the Voss's,  the Stevie J's,  dare i say, the Toby Green's ?

    ... remember when Roos sounded out our club,  about a young Toby Green,  when he had that altercation as a young fella,  at a hotel in Melbourne.?

    16th on the ladder (and deservedly so) would suggest we should have mountains of salary cap space available.

    If not, there is some serious mis-management going on.

    I loved watching Hogan and wish him well.  Back to Perth was the best move for him.

    BUT.... look at the stats from last weeks Freo win and Jesse is bottom of the list. I just don't see him reaching the potential he clearly had.  A Ross Lyon coached team won't get it done for him either

    Smart move by MFC to do the trade.

    • 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.

      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?
