Josh Bruce

Apparently linked to the dogs, but could be a handy foil for McDonald next season. 

 

Josh Bruce?

Jeezus, this might just be a crazy trading period with heaps of moves.

Play our cards right and we could do very well. If we can, that is.

Do we really need him?

When I say this, consider that we have Tom Mac and we've had good success with Fritta over the last 5-6 games up forward as well.  Weideman is the question mark as the other tall, but when you also add Melksham in there and hopefully at least a Hannan (who can get back to his 2018 form by getting himself fit!) I'm not too sure there is a place for him.

I think a quality small forward should be the focus for us this off season.  Where we get that player from is the issue.

Bundle Brandon Matera up with Ed Langdon would be nice.

I'd love Tom Papley to be honest, but I don't think we'll entice him to join us, nor could we satisfy the Swans in a trade.

I agree, i think Papley has plenty of interest in him, i think that'll drive his price above what we could realistically pay. even Lewis Taylor could add some speed to the forward line for a good price 


We’re the only team he kicks bags against, if he played with us, would he kick bags for us...???

Yes from me.   

Great contested mark and can help the Weed develop.

I just want to recruit him for nostalgic reasons. The world's first recognised rock music supergroup was Cream with Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. I'm prepared to compromise and have Baker, Bruce and Petty.  (The club can be the Heartbreakers.) 

Of course, I can understand that we should probably pick our recruits on their footballing roles, shouldn't we?

Only if I identify the coach, who went on to sell frozen water.

Or put Petty ( Harrison ) out front and call them the Beatles. 

You can't beat him, join him.

I’d be targeting two small fwds Wise, when Liam Ryan and Willie Rioli are on it’s a pleasure to watch. Pace, skilful, kick goals and both can take a decent mark. Then there’s the tackling. Also if drafting as opposed to trading for them I go after three using all our late picks/rookie draft. We have to allow they all won’t make it.

No argument from me, BA.  I think we it's a glaring weakness in our side at the moment.  How we fix it, and fix it well, is anybodies guess right now.  We might have to get a little creative and look to the state leagues to help us fill the gaps.

That's all fine but keep in mind we just did that, C Wagner, T Bedford and K Chandler. Corey is a stop gap and is ok depth and the other 2 are still too young to tell. But I think we need a higher end small forward selection, someone with elite talent. I'm not sure who that is or if anyone will even be available for us in this draft.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
