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

He'd kick 19 in our intraclub match.

Can anyone explain why we aren’t looking at Josh Bruce?

We can't look at every single player on the market.  We have to focus our attention on a few.

I'd also wager that we see other aspects of our side, such as small forwards and outside run, as more important to fill during this off season.

You can't beat him, join him.

Best thing about getting him would be that he can't kick 4 goals against us. Sign Membrey up too and we'll beat the Saints.

How do you know we’re not? 

Well we don’t know. Just odd that all the focus are on small forwards when we have a tall deficiency also. Weid - not ready yet and TMac - don’t think he can take the number 1 forward role or defender.

I was thinking about this earlier. We do need a good tall forward, Bruce is too inconsistent for mine. I heard a whisper that we’re into Gunston and Hawks are after draft picks. #Isthatatradebreak? #Yesitis #ETthetradebreakerdoesitagain

I actually think he's what we need.

One of the best contested marks in the league and would add critical depth to our forward line. 

We can't have a repeat of the second Sydney game where we literally ran out of key forwards.

I hope there's an element of truth in that.

Absolutely, i cant understand it and people say we might be, but that would have been reported by now.. surely with Richo in the club he would know a bit about him and what he can do he  would be ideal for us.. its bizarre as Weid is not established, Tommy Mc is injury prone and basically ha done good year up fwd, Petty who knows??

This is what annoys me from the outside, Dogs being pro active and not us.

Apparently the Dogs are offering a deal 'too good to refuse'. Whether that's $$$ or unlimited trips to the barber to perm up his man-bun, who knows?

Why is it silly? i have said who knows what we are doing but it tends to get out if we are into players, so from the outside it seems like we are not being pro active enough, Langdon? is that it?

Dogs sure do like to trade in key forwards don't they?

Learnt their lesson from Jarrad Grant the hard way, then got smart about it.

Really? What lesson was that? They drafted one of the best up and coming forwards with an early pick just 2 years ago.

So apparently it was mentioned on SEN this afternoon and then later on channel 7 that we are making a late play for Bruce?

Did anyone catch this??

I thought he’d agreed to the Dogs on personal terms, was just a matter of the clubs putting a suitable trade together. Unless we pull a Sydney-Lockett style rug pulling why would he have reason to change his mind. Dogs would surely have more $$ than us to offer

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
