My thought was that, as soon as I saw he was delisted, there would be a thread about him on Demonland. 

No from me.

    Would rather his running power on a wing over anyone else we have. Could be a good plug for a couple of years for a packet of chips. 

    Certainly helps with our obvious inside/outside imbalance. 

    Maybe he's the perfect moneyball trade.

    I think the club is beyond getting a player at 30 years of age. But if he landed in our lap for minimum chips why not.

    My thoughts exactly, although thought there could be merit in getting a replacement 30+ year old premiership player on the list!

    Probably a backup option in case the Langdon / Tomlinson (if we’re getting him for the wing) deals fall over

    And Uhm no thanks, he’s lost the pace for the game and his skills have never been that great.

    Yes as a DFA, absolute upgrade on players we’ve already delisted and Stretch, JKH and Wagner. Let’s remember that our bottom six getting a game are very ordinary, I base how we’re looking at these six. Not every player we bring in can be a star but they can be an upgrade on our lower end players.

    For those with short memories here is the 2007 draft in which master was taken, There are some interesting names and he was taken pick 3 just before Cale Morton. McEvoy at 9 and Dangerfield at 10 with Rioli at 12 wow. Shows that the gems can be later than expected. Furthermore Tarrant at 15 harry taylor 17 and Alex Rance 18. For me I think we can do better than Masten

    Wasn't he part of the Judd trade?

    Yup.

    I believe West Coast asked for picks 1 and 3 for Judd.  When Carlton refused, they asked for 3 and Kennedy.

    Cale Morton.... forgot about him. Looking at the top 10 players he wasn’t the only dud.

    Look at all those names we poo pooed to get Morton.

    We're our own worst enemy.

    When you take out Hurn and Jetta kicking it to you and take out the options of kicking it to Kennedy and Darling are we sure Masten is better than JKH and Stretch?

    The basic stats on this year say he wasn't.

    Upgrading the bottom end of the list is smart if you're upgrading to an AFL quality player, I'm not sure Masten still is one. I'd probably stick with one of our own guys who's still young enough to improve or take a chance with the draft.

    We should be rewarded for not screwing with the careers of Dangerfield, Rioli or Rance. Morton had a heap of talent and no development.

    have I lost it?

     

    Edit

    Hmmmm, maybe it was 3 + 21 + Kennedy for Judd and crap pick?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
