Given that Pert said at some point this year a key forward is one of our areas we need to bolster it will be interesting to see what happens this trade period. 

 

I think a lot of teams will understandably be throwing big money at Jeremy Cameron, the one i'd be making a big offer to is Ben King. it's a little risky but the kid is going to be a star in my opinion, and is very likely to want to come back to Vic. 

i think put 850k x4 under his nose and offer the Suns pick 3 and Billy Stretch and see if they can be tempted to move him a year early. 

I can’t see Cameron leaving GWS. They’ll be successful for the foreseeable future, made the GF this season and could quite possibly be at the pointy end again next season. They’ve kept a core-group of players together, Cameron being one of them. Like Coniglio, Gil will want Cameron staying put.

Sounds like a decent plan PO.  I have my doubts we would be that daring though.    More likely split the pick and then end up choosing two Gysbert & Strauss types (or even better...another Cale Morton) while missing the next Dusty sitting in between those two!

Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but would anyone consider Bruce from the Saints?

I have a vibe that he has been enquired about - but that is purely linked to the fact that Alan Richardson is on board...

on that... I don't particularly rate him, but he does do well against us. I also think he looks a bit like the depictions of Jesus Christ... so I hope if we get him, he has a second coming...

Not the best posts to say you know something but can't share it. They tend to sound like BS, or just grandstanding.

Agree.

Good discussion point but the problem is the system.  While the likes of Lynch are able to get to the clubs that have had the most recent success that is the option they will choose vs teams who haven't seen success in decades like the Aints, Doggies (1 in 62 years) and ourselves.  And to a lessor extent Norf (96) and Carltank (95).

As Kingy suggested and which i've been calling for for years, FAs should not be allowed to get to a club thats finished top 5/6 or so (previous two seasons) or win a premiership in say the last five.

We can talk all we like about the possibility of getting a genuine gun tall forward.  Cameron is up next season,  aint gonna happen unless the clubs force the AFL to change FA to assist the lessor lights.

If Cameron doesn't re-sign at GWS i g'tee he will end up at a top liner in 2021.  Nothing more certain.

System is flawed until/unless the clubs speak up.

Bottom dwellers unite and take over!

I agree .... but then Gil just thrives on flawed systems.  Look at his goal review system just for starters.

Petty. Will be interesting to see where they use him. Lewis Taylor from Brisbane might be okay as small crumber but have to beware of some serious brain farts.

He would fit in well with our overall, and in particular forward game plan then. ?

Given Elliott is now looking elsehwere, I reckon this is the move we should make. Front-end the bejesus out of his contract and get a 10-12 year forward. You have my vote, mate.

It then gives Weideman a time clock. He could simply take over from McDonald in 2-3 years as the other twin tower or we look for a trade if King bosses it for us in 2020.

You think Cameron can still be FF at 39? He is on big money with this year's GF team. Look elsewhere.

Whoops.

Just putting it out there, and before anyone asks and says i am trolling, I will not be giving any names (my source has demanded I don’t) but I have heard we are really trying to get a key forward from another vic team!!

I will let you all guess away (or conversely have a crack at me for not naming anyone and making it up), but I will only say he is from a vic team and has been mentioned nowhere in the media.

We all know Elliott was not the only player we have been talking too!

Not a hope in hell, but his brother at North, who is not as good, could be available.

I wish it was him, but no, it isn’t.

I won’t answer all of them, as it will give it away, but once I can get my source to allow me to give some more, I will.

Yeah, I’m not exactly sure what the point of such a post is. Regardless, I’m hoping this person you’re talking about is a fit and rejuvenated Mark Jackson.

I think the answer you seek lies in someone who’s first and last names begin witht the letter K

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
