He is out of contract and favour at The Bombers.

Would he fit in at the Dees?

I have only watched a small number of his recent games. Looks a good mover and quick on the outside.

Could be a quick fix!

 

Interesting suggestion.

I like what he offers. Had a slow start to the season but has really kicked on in the past month. Undoubtedly he would offer our midfield the pace and outside run that it currently lacks. 

Would we trade one of our bulls (except Oliver) for him? The Bombers lack this so it might make sense for both clubs structurally.

Dodoro would not accept a second round pick.

 

 

He is far from out of favour at the Bombers, in fact in the last month he would be one of the first picked.

The Bombers will pay him as his form as picked up.

If we get back to 2019 form next year we'll have a few guys that will need to get paid so don't think it would make sense from a salary cap/future prospective.

 

 

 

 


I don't know about the outside run people are mentioning. He does his best work on the inside, while his outside game is okay, he isn't going to break any lines with the ball in hand and disposal can be sloppy. 

 

Edited by Watts the matter

He's a high quality young player. but he's at a club that needs him more than we would need him, and he would cost more than would be appropriate to pay (in pick-equivalent and dollars).

I think our trade-recruiting should be very focused on picking out specific players who meet our specific needs, and I don't see Parish as in that category.

Overall I think we should also be very much looking at managing salary cap and keep a stash prepared to go after free agents, because that bypassing of trade/draft 'cost' is a huge bonus for building a list to reach the very top.

Plus, I'm expecting pretty significant turnover from the tail-end of our list at the end of the season, so I really think we should be trying to hold onto multiple good draft picks to make sure there is some serious quality coming through the new kids.

Agree. He does better when he's inside. 

Would rather we chased Whitfield, Coniglio, Ed Langdon or similar. Outside run and good disposal is our need.

Worth remembering next year we have Viney, Trac, Hibberd and Harmes coming out of contract 

Viney + ANB + JKH + First pick

Parish + Daniher

We need a 185cm plus young bloke or two who can get the ball, kicks with both feet beautifully, hits targets, knows what is needed to kick goals and does so, who can run all day with pace to burn. Another two Aaron Daveys would do it rather well. We need to pick these blokes up from a tough league in which they have survived, so far. My mind goes directly to the North, way up, perhaps Darwin or Tiwi areas. 

My favourite threads are the ones that suggest we should go after a player who has been average and in the system for a few years who has a couple of good games.

How about the Hill brothers?

Stephen Hill is uncontracted beyond this year and Bradley was rumoured to have very nearly returned to Victoria last trade period.

Stephen will be a free agent, but Bradley is signed up until 2021. Getting both of them in one hit would turn our midfield around instantly IMO.

Would fit in well with the rehab group

My personal favourite is where you hope to package up ordinary player x, y and z in exchange for a gun - as described above.

Out of that lot only Harmes and Petracca are must signs. Hibberd is just about finished and if Viney had a different surname he’d be up for trade.

Absolutely try to get Stephen Hill. His pace and skill is exactly what we need


Parish wont be leaving essendon. Their fans would scream bloody murder if he left. He will get paid and stay.

Agree on Stephen Hill. Injury concerns but is an unrestricted free agent who wouldn’t cost us a draft pick and fills a massive need for us. I don’t think his salary would be massive either given his recent history.

Different surname he might have struggled  to have been drafted

Hill would be brilliant but can’t see him leaving his bro.

Short memory... Viney at is best is an absolute beast of a midfielder....

He is one of our captains, who 25, had an injury plagued 2-3 years and was performing at an elite level in last years finals series only 12 games ago... 

Get his body right, with some continuity in training and playing and we will see him lift very quickly back to the player we know he can be.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
