Definitely keen to get him to the Dees. His kicking and drive are what we are lacking, so he’s be upgraded depth at worst. Haven’t heard his name mentioned at all around the traps, but I’m hoping we’ve enquired and can get him across cheaply with little fuss.

Really hop e he is on our radar, upgarde on a player like stretch, and thats what we need to do, upgrade our bottom 6.

Yep I agree, could see him playing across a wing half back as he provides run and carry 

 

Get him. Late pick. At worst he’s upgraded depth. Good penetrating kick off half back to replace Hibberd in the near future. 

Would hopefully allow Salem to push into the midfield and use Cutler's run off half back.

I don't think Salem is back because there isn't other options, it's more that he didn't cut it in the midfield.

But agree Cutler would be a good get.

Agree WTM.It's probably a bit too hot for him in there, but he excels when given a bit of time allowing him to capitalise on his disposal.

Christian needs to make it in the midfield or get more of it off half back.

Believe he had a few injury issues that saw his 2019 effected.  If he gets over those i believe he is a meaningful upgrade on a Stretch.  Bit more of a running outside winger but also bigger bodied with a significant height advantage.  Averages about double the number of goals and just under double the meters gained vs Stretch.  Marks a tad more.  Stretch tackles a bit more and a few less turnovers but might be kicking it safe more often.

Significant improvement on the likes of JKH.  ANB plays a diff type role but might even push him out a little depending on roles / match ups.

Not very good on the trade front but gut feel says for a mid late third round Cutler improves our depth as mentioned and is a bit of a steal.  Be going for him big time on that proviso subject to the usual medico testing.

Not much here ...from 38 second mark if interested.

Cutler v Stretch (Career averages)...

Yep to me he still lacks that hunger.


Never really heard of him.  192 cms utility.  could be good back up for Tomlinson on the wing and cover down back with frosty going.

24yo and 66 games so should be hitting his prime.  might be worth a punt

He's tough enough, got great skills, I just wonder whether he's a natural ball finder though. A bit like the debate with Trengove. I'm not convinced he can't find enough of it, but I like him as a player.

Absolutely he's tough, but to me he needs to become more selfish as a player.

Averaged around a goal every 2 games and roughly 20 touches in 2018. Definitely a sound depth upgrade for a wing role or a high half-forward. What was his injury that kept him out this year?

yeah i also think he was unlucky with the Lions hitting peak form this year and him having an injury. He is no star but he is solid and fits a need we have.

What is his injury issue?  Someone suggested a foot - that would definitely put me off in a big way.

Draft pick 73 gets it done. Only because Lions will want to free up some lust space. 

Cutler fits our needs. Fast. Gialkicker. Good size.  Wing or half back.  Good ball user.  Only squeezed out by Lions new midfield.  

Are you a Kiwi, or is there more to this up in Brisvegas?

Had an ankle for about four weeks mid season.  I think it's a recurring one but only guessing.  Might be a bit of a risk on that front but then Stretch hasn't exactly been durable either.

Cutler deal done with the Dons

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
