Head scratcher if true. We basically fielded our best back 6 yesterday minus Jetta and we conceded the most points since round 3. Defence isn’t the problem.

    Is it a coincidence that anyone who plays as the Adelaide’s third tall defender seems to be a gun... Adelaide’s gameplan and back six set up seems to be a great place for 3rd talls to stack up possessions and intercepts:

    Lever

    replaced by Doedee

    replaced by Keith.

     

    On Keith; if he wanted to come to us and it wasn’t a first round pick... yes- never turn away quality.  But like everyone here I believe that it’s far from a priority.

    The club is lost. Its sick, its in no mans land. Fancy showing interest in Alex Keith.. hey here is an idea.. show some interest in someone who can run and spread and has lovely skills.

    The club is spiraling out of control at the moment.. better get out of this spin, otherwise we will crash land and the recovery will be horrendous.

    Heath has been a depth player.  He looks good and plays his role because of their system so is apparently in 'AA' form for just two months.

    Put him in our, very different, system and every chance he becomes another depth player.

    Walk away.

    Lol.

    Next up, there will be talk of trading picks to get Sam Day (the free agent not currently getting a game at the Suns).

    Rarely in the best however rarely goes a game without kicking a goal.

    My first thought is there isn't much to this. He's probably one of 20 out of contract players we have interest in across multiple positions.

    Any time you can upgrade a key defensive spot even if you've got money and resources tied up in that area already then it isn't a bad idea to try.

    Frost is out of contract so we'll have to either sign him or a replacement anyway. Is spending an early 2nd round pick and an extra 100-200k a year on Keath over Frost a good idea?

    Salem, Melksham and Weideman have all signed on. Lewis and Garlett are going. Jones maybe 1 more on a veteran money deal. Oskar Baker the next priority and you wouldn't think he'd break the bank. So if we've our salary cap in decent order there should be some cash to go after some players.

    Hey guys, can pretty much confirm there's not much substance to this. The club would look at it for the right price (contract and trade wise), but at this stage this all at the doings of his manager who is trying to ramp up negotiations for his client. Not surprising Tom Morris is involved given the tone of his articles about the club since being basically shunned.

    Obviously I'm a random on the internet so take it as you will, but that info was passed on to me by someone who has got much right in the past. Cheers!

    Are we trying to reduce oppositions to the point where 7.15.57 is a winning score?

    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.

    Not that I can mention other than what I said in the post. Just someone who has passed on good info in the past and I have no reason to doubt. The old someone who knows someone. I get that that probably doesn't cut it, but that's the internet I guess.

    Victorian-born Keath is reportedly being offered big money from Melbourne while Hawthorn is keen on Greenwood, according to an AFL report last month.

    So nothing new since the last month? btw thats behind a paywall

    Do we want to play him as a forward? i don't get it.

    ‘Big money’? Pull the other. It would certainly have to be below or on the AFL average. Big money in comparison to the average Australian wage perhaps, but not AFL players wage.

    The only reason why i can see us going for him is to replace OMAC.

    If that is the case, then i thoroughly encourage it. Maybe Frosty might just end up on a wing after all!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
