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

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.
