    Haven't heard anything solid at this stage, just the same sketchy whispers you guys would have already heard .

    Hard to know exactly where our priorities would lay given how the season has panned out, needs nearly everywhere.

     

    Mostly forwards (KF who can mark and kick goals, two blitzkreig smallish fellas who have white line fever & can also find the middle) and some outside speed class and finish with a raking left foot LN.

    May i suggest slipping a mickey into Simon's drink at the B&F.  Take him out the back for a ripping session with one of Australia's leading hypnotists, starting with "Repeat after me....we must recruit..." and insert the above, i would be very appreciative.

    Thanking you in advance.....

    perhaps we would not have such a bad defense if our forward line actually kicked goals. Bad as we are we still have massive amounts of inside 50's that we fail to capitalize on. If we scored it would go back to the center and we start again even, instead we turn it over in our forward line and the opposition run it down into their forward line and kick goals.  We need forwards, we should have tried to find the best forward in the mid seasons draft and we still need to find the best forwards in the end of the year draft.  How many games did we lose because of poor kicking for goal, too many..

    Is it just me, or does it seem to make little sense going after Keath if we've got May, Lever and a re-signed Frost on our books?  Keath will only come for senior footy and I'm not sure he gets it ahead of those three.

    Maybe they want to move Frostball up forward.

    I do like his pace in the f50

    Keith is definitely the type of player who could play up forward so i wouldn't be surprised if the plan is to bring him in and let him and May swing to either end depending on match ups

    Same, I wouldn’t want him unless he was a delisted free agent and came free.

    Don't want him. Too old. Can go to footscray.

    we do need talls who can stay on the park.  Pedo would have played >15 games this year for us.

    Petty and O Mac etc etc all played fwd.  So maybe they reckon he can fwd.

    or if we see Petty as a fwd now, who do we have to cover for our best 3 tall backs?  pretty much no-one aside from O Mac, so I reckon we need cover. 

    Our 2nd round pick no way though. A late 2nd rounder maybe

    I would agree in part that we need cover, but do you think Keath is leaving Adelaide to just be 'cover'?  I doubt it.

    Have we had a key backman who hasn't played up forward in the last decade?

    Rivers, Chip, Garland, Tom Mac etc have all spent time forward, or become forwards, in their time at the club.  Makes sense I guess for May to do the same.

  • Quote

    I think we should leave him to the doggies.  I think we have a better option in Petty, just needs development.  There is a difference between making enquiries (due diligence) and actually getting the cheque book out.  The first is smart, the second is stupid!  If it was for a 4th rounder or a pick swap in the third round, then no biggie.  The Crows will want a 2nd, for sure.

    true, but over the last three years, keath has played 30 games, compared to 54 for o mac, 48 for frost, 43 for may, even 36 for lever with an acl impacting two seasons

    keath would be our second oldest kpp defender behind may - we'd want to be very certain about bringing another in given it seems to be one area we have genuine depth in, particularly if you include petty (who i like as a forward) or t mac (who can clearly play both ends)

    With the exception of inexperienced Weideman and Fritsch, our whole fwd line is converted mids and backmen. 

    Can we have some real forwards please, who have experience in the role at AFL, understand 'forward craft' and can help their less experienced forward teammates.

    And while we are at it, an experienced forward coach wouldn't go astray!

    May was originally drafted as a forward I believe, so he's more of a forward turned defender than vice versa.

    In fact, he was named full forward in the All-Australian under 18 team.

    Adding the flexibility to play May up forward is enticing. 

    Also, I think Keath could play the Hibbo role perhaps. Looked to be slowing up in 2019

    Maybe so, but imv we need a forward line made up of AFL experienced forwards.  By all means add a few that were fwds earlier in their career or converted from other roles but our whole fwds have barely played 150 games between them in that role.  That Jones is our highest goal kicker speaks volumes of our need for real forwards.

    Oh yeah, I'm agreeing with you in that sense. I guess I'm not totally against it just because of the way he plays and leads, and how much we need that in the forward line, at least from someone.

    I still don't believe we're really chasing Keath tbh.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
