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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
