Tom Brown just said we are offically linked to him as is St Kilda and Bulldogs.

- Also said its Hawthorn and the Dees are 2 clubs linked to Brad Hill.

-Ed langdon also linked to the Dees.

Looks like we'll be busy come trade time! I like it!

 

Hawthorn linked to him is very bad news. Wouldn't surprise me if Clarko has done the scumbag Croad move and sent Hill away for 2 years in order to get one of the picks required for that O'Meara trade at the time, before welcoming him back.

Stats aren’t too great but gets a game for gws so must be decent. 

If he is quick with a huge tank he will be looked at. But I am not sure of his kicking skills. Anyone?

If we have Pick 3. I think we trade it for Hill and Langdon. Pull the trigger on that one...

And we definitely go for Tomlinson to play back with ‘May Day’ and ‘Lever to Beaver’. Versatile player! He would be a great get.

I want Frost to stay.

Had his best year with us and can get better.

Saved a stack of goals this year and if he can eliminate a couple of mistakes a game, he is a very valuable player for us.

His speed is the thing for me, he mitigates one of our big weaknesses down there in leg speed, i think the more games that he, may and Lever play together the better Frost will get.

Now that Coniglio is signed up I'm sure Tomlinson will be on the way out (just not enough $), given he's a free agent and won't need a trade he's well worth a look. I do think the giants play him out of position, I'd be trying to turn him into a Tom Lynch from Adelaide, a far roam high half froward (not really a 3rd tall and not really a wingman). Plus he has the potential to back up in the ruck as well, not for huge stretches of the game but to give Max a little rest.

I'd do that... but it sounds like Hill is a fair way down the track with the Saints, who are throwing large amounts of cash at him to get him to sign.  I can understand that with Jack Steven potentially going down to Geelong, but it also means it prices us out of the market.

Langdon will have to do, but I'm happy with that.

Yea i agree swly.

Goodwin wont survive with this squad he needs to make moves

 

That is an interesting and very possible circumstance with such strengths in the recruitment qualities.

Go nuts for free agents imo 

good idea but the better ones come at a price.

If we can land Langdon and Tomlinson plus use pick 3 and 20 on young players I for one will be very happy with the outcome of this trading period.

I see no reason to trade for Langdon which will send Freo into apoplexy but we need to play tough if we are going to get out of this eternal rut the club seems to find itself in.

If we need salary cap space I would consider trading Brayshaw butI live in hope we can see that late 2018 form again...boy was he good !!

Big yes from me. We’ve had a crack at him before, so clearly rate him. 

We never pick up free agents, only lose them. Instead we trade and harm our picks. Time to start loading up on free agents.

Tomlinson is durable, has good running power, is tall and versatile. I’d offer him 600k and play him as a lead up tall forward.

Especially when you’re crap. 

Tomlinson is a walk-up start to our best 22.

I am happy to go after any available player that makes our team better.

yep...hasn't worked well for North.

Hopefully they believe the 2019 was an aberration line. ?

Especially when they don't cost 2 first rounders or a top pick in likely the best draft ever, and aren't borderline obese and unprofessional/haven't done an ACL already.

No no and no. Both coming of career best seasons I can see this blowing up in our face. Different team different structures. 

 

Would love Tomlinson on the opposing wing to Langdon. Running machine with good skills and we'd get him for free

And with his height and marking he offers an alternate kick in option. Max on one flank, tomlinson the other with a kpf in the guts. Opens the whole ground up. Port ripped us a new one a few years back with the same setup.

Someone on Bigfooty said a source has told him that Tomlinson will be a Dee? Not sure who his source would be

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
