Will be worth nothing than a fourth round so why the hell not. 

4th round? I don’t think so.

He is worth a lot more than that. More like early 2nd round I would think.

    Throw in Westhoff then! He can play up forward.

    Just 12 months after attempting to break his contract but failing to find a suitor, Amon will spend the next week mulling over interest from clubs including Melbourne and St Kilda.

    AFL.com.au understands the Power have tabled a three-year offer to Amon with the belief he could still remain at Alberton.

    It comes after a career-best season in which the 24-year-old played 17 matches and forged his place in the Power's best line-up. 

    The Demons have spoken openly about chasing outside ball users in the mould of Amon, while the Saints have been active in approaching talent from elsewhere.

    I have kept a close eye on him the past few weeks and he has surprisingly been playing very well. Neat left foot who wpuld add speed and outside run.

    Absolutely would be happy with this. The type that would thrive on an open space on the G

    Must admit i dont know a lot about Karl. Is he outside, does he use it well and is he quick? because if he aint all of those 3 then forget about it.

    I would class him as a young, improving winger. Couple of injury bumps along the way so has been a 'late' bloomer IMO. Good athlete, sold kick. The key word in regards to us that you'll hear about him is 'competitor'.

    Thanks @dazzledavey36 & @Lord Nev for sharing your observations.

    Im keen for the club to inject some young run and carry. I wonder if the Burgess and Richo additions would make guys like Amon consider us now?

    Amon and Langdon would be good starts at improving on 2019

    Great point! Hadn't even thought about that.

    no...rediculous.

    We already have Baker, Dunkley, JKH, Stretch, Brayshaw, Hunt, Jordan, Kolodjashnij, Sparrow, C Wagner

    we don't need Amon, Langdon or Hill.....we just need to administer a game plan where these players are utilized effectively.

    K Amon : averaging 19 disposals @ 75% efficiency & 4 turnovers per game & .5 goals per game.

    What?????? 8 out of 10 you have listed are fringe players at best.

    This should say the Saints have been active chasing anyone.

    They're trying to outdo the Roos in their bid to throw money at anyone out of contract.

    Brayshaw can't or won't play wing, Jordon is a great prospect but I wouldn't back in any of the others you've named.

    Baker can't find the pill, Dunkley still a bit early to tell without a preseason, JKH depth at best, Stretch VFL level/depth, Hunt time to move on, Kolo may not ever get on the park, Sparrow more likely to make it as Jetta's replacement if he is to make it at all, Wagner C to slow in his decisions and reactions again VLF/depth...

    Langdon is a must get along with at lest one small forward and then who ever we pick up in the draft.

    If Brayshaw moves on then it opens up more opportunities to improve the list balance...

    I know the family so I keep an eye on Karl. I dont think he is worth more than a late 2nd rounder. He is 24 now and plays well when the team is going strong. he is fast though and his last couple of weeks have been good, one fantastic goal.

    Stick him on one wing and Langdon on the other, put Young on a HBF and our run and kicking have all improved.

    disagree.....but if you think Karl Amon is the answer to the demons outside run, accountability & efficiency issues, then the Dees have major problems coming in 2020. The problem is not with the list, the problem is with the game plan & game style. Sure, some of those players are fringe players, no denying that, however, some of those fringe players were out performing some of our more elite 'named' senior players who had 'checked out' 3 weeks ago.

    Pick 3 for Amon and Pick 10?  Maybe throw in a future 3rd round pick as a sweeter.

    I am not sure what games you watch but none of those players out performed anyone. 

    You mentioned Langdon in your post and he is a massive upgrade on all those players besides Brayshaw. 

    The game needs tweaking but our issue is the majority of our players are ball getters and therefore when we do get they have no runners to give it to.

    For anyone unaware of the year that Amon has had as an outside mid and his importance to Port, read this:

    https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/re-signing-karl-amon.1220100/page-18

    Would be a great get. Suits our needs nicely

    Agreed. Great kick. Wins the footy. Happy to make a 3 year offer.

    Would be 6th in our list for average metres gained in 2019.  Has pace and a 74.3% DE and is rated as elite for Goal Assists.  I think he'd get a game.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
