Read a couple of articles now suggesting Powell-Pepper may be shopped around come trade period. Would anyone be interested?

 

Yes from me. Good size, tough, a head for bouncers. Not quick, but not slow either and a booming kick.

Would definitely add something if fit and in the right mind set

He’s been dropped four times this season but I’m not sure if a second rounder alone would get it done. I’d start at a second round pick and if Port want a sweetener, throw in ANB. 

 

Yes, think Mitch Robinson now at Brisbane. I'm not sure he suits us as we have quite a few slowish brutish types but he would be a good pick-up for sure

Yeah, why not.... would be a ready made replacement-of-sorts for Jones, and wont cost the earth.

Although im probably gonna say yes to just about any suggestion until the trade season is over, because our year was so bad.

Maybe i should just stick to the cricket.

Second rounder possibly already set aside for Ed Langdon?

Maybe we have something that could get us back into the second round if that were to eventuate?

Likely though that only blokes we'd much prefer to keep (e.g. Frost or Fritsch) would attract interest at that price.

No for me! We already have too many inside mids who cannot kick. There is a reason he has been dropped 4 times and the new configuration doesn't suit hime and his only role is as a tagger. We need elite outside run and kicking

I'd take the nightclub brawling & injury prone elite x factor Bennel over the nightclub sexual assaulting & seniors omission prone inside mid :laugh:

Suspect he will end up at St Kilda, would fit right in. 

Big no from me. He’s an average inside midfielder with a real arrogant streak that he can’t back up. Poor kick, average pace, average ball winner. He’s essentially a bulkier, slower, worse version of Harmes. He’s exactly what we don’t need. He’s suit a team like Essendon who are desperate for inside midfielders.

For us, he’d be depth at best and would be worth a fourth rounder or avoid.

Yeah, he isn't too much different to what we have now.  I'm sure there might be a few clubs sniffing around, but I don't think he is the one we need.

Welcome back WB.

If he was what we needed, he'd be a good acquisition.

Here's me with the deep insights, but you all know what I mean so why go into more detail?

Meh. Faux tough guy. He has some attributes but as some point out already, we have those attributes covered already.


No from me we already have enough inside mids.

He is good and would be a really good pick up for most teams. But we already have an over abundance of crash and bash mids, most of who cant execute. Adding SPP would just compound that issue. We need pace and class.

Yep straight Swap ANB for Pepper Powell!

Big NO. He is a turnover merchant, faux tough guy. Anyone who is saying yes needs to actually watch him play, not some highlights package. 

One of my highlights for 2018 was when he got buried by Jetta when we played them. Powell Pepper had been mouthing off all game, despite not doing anything. He got then ball, tried a don’t argue on Nev Jetta, and was absolutely buried into the turf with a crunching tackle that left him acting like a scolding dog with its tail between its legs. Top 5 2018 moments for me. Powell Pepper is a legit faux tough guy and average footballer.

Can't reliably hit a target? Computer says no.

No coincidence that three clubs who have struggled to meet expectations this year - freo, dees and crows - are full of players who can't hit the proverbial aside of a barn.

Saints in the e same boat.

Can you confirm if we have enquired please @Ethan Tremblay

Sam Powell-Basil they call him over at Port Adelaide, just a little fact thrown in there. I believe we’ve enquired however that’s as far as we got. #ETbreakingitdownonetradeatatime

I imagine we could squeeze him into the cap and he’s a definite upgrade on others who are getting games, worth a crack I reckon.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
