    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.

    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 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.
