As a defensive forward, not a mid.

He's not proven at any senior level as a mid so shouldn't be brought into the conversation yet...

Merely talking about him as depth. Would have played more than just the 2 games if he wasn't injured IMO, but even still, breaking through for senior games in your first year qualifies you as being listed as 'depth' in my books.

    Sparrow debuted in his first year, then missed the second half of the year with injury.

     

    He debuted due to a decent injury list, and only debuted as a very late inclusion in the side.

    He can't really be considered depth at this stage, although that could change next year if he improves.

    Guess 'depth' is one of those words everyone has a different interpretation on. Happy to agree to disagree, seems a common thing in footy!

    To me, if you've played senior games you're depth. Coming in when there's injuries is almost the definition of depth really. Can understand where you and others are coming from, it's just different to how I see it I guess.

    There’s more than one way to swim a lap.

    Trade pick 3 to GWS for picks 12, 14 and a decent player. Along with pick 20 (likely Langdon) there’s more than enough cachet to go a long way to addressing the outside midfield problem. 

    Four inside midfielders is not an excessive number. Ideally you want a balance of four inside and four outside in your rotation. 

    Hi Rangey/ Matsuo,

    Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Viney. Swallow will get more inside game time in 2020, Jones is only of value as an insider. A leaner, fitter Trac will play in the guts too.

    7 potential inside mids.

    0 potential outside mids ATM, at best maybe Baker. Langdon is B grader, pick 21 indicative of this

    Given Jones has just re-signed and cannot be traded, I'd say the player there of biggest trade value (apart from Oliver) is Gus or Viney. I've come around to that scenario rather than trading Trac.

    I asked for a direct quote. You quoted Tim Brown. And you’re talking about maturity. Please. 

    Who is Matsuo?

    Yeah, I'm gonna tap out now. Have a good one.

    Pick 8 is too much for Laird even with the second rounder back. He’s a back flanker.

    possibly

    i reckon it's what adelaide would expect for a dual all-australian best and fairest winner in the prime of his career

    we're also getting amon out of it in this scenario

    You said Petracca would get us a pick between 8-15.

    You then went on to talk about how Petracca hasn't finished top 10 in the Bluey.

    Now you're saying pick 8 is too expensive for a 25 year old 2 x All-Australian and reigning BnF winner.

    Given he has 2 bros and a lot of extended family there, I for one am shocked!

    Edit. But i'll start the ball rolling: Gus + 21 for Cerra and Langdon.

    The most disturbing part of this is that you follow Ricky Nixon on twitter.

    My lefty sources tell me he was drinking an almond milk latte with Nate Fyfe before going to inspect a few potential rammed earth homes with Pav and Longmuir and Belly.

    Not that I think Nixon is right but there is so much noise around Brayshaw that just seems to not stop. Would be disappointed to lose him though Pick 3 that is still young and although his putrid 2019 his absence would leave us too thin in the middle of the ground IMO. 

    Unless we could really over-capitalise on the trade I'd say no deal because he's worth more to our team and list than his true worth atm I think.

    Putrid 2019 where he still finished in the B&F top 10.

    Agree Big Kev, but that's just an indication where we are as a footy club.

    Not surprised at all like a few others as Gus played unhappy this season & with all his family in Perth, a move there makes sense.

    Good luck Gus.

    Mahoney put that rumour to bed a few days ago on trade radio.  I'm inclined to believe him, especially if Nixon is the one spreading the rumour.

    If his old man takes up the Dockers CEO job I could see this coming to fruition one day - but not yet. 

    Of all the media I’ve seen of all the Brayshaw’s, they seem like a family with really strong values and I reckon Gus will honour his current contract with us. 

    Having all the kids close by is something a lot parents would love but others like the Brayshaw’s probably prefer they grow from experience of the ups and downs of life rather than the cuddles from mum and dad or his bro’s in Perf.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
