Jenkins and Casboult?! You’ve lost the plot Picket! 

Trade period has gotten slow - we need some new breaking @Ethan Tremblay

 

PS if Frost is a gun then surely Levi fits as a gun as well? You know it makes sense

    Breust or gunston  both make sense. Good kicks. Hawks have recent history of moving long term players on. Are rebuilding. And maybe keen in frost. Straight swap?

    I was thinking yesterday who was the last player I was really excited about recruiting from anorher club. And it was mitch clark. How good was his first few games? 

    Before that? Kelvin Templeton.

    This! I think O’Brien would be a very good get

    O'Brien could also be the player who is coming. Only ever played one good game and it was against us two years ago.

    Kicked a bag of 5 in the Hawks last game of the year didn't he?

    4.

    I'd play him as the second tall defender, May as number one and Lever as interceptor.

    Thinking of some other obscure victorian forwards... 

    Hoskin-elliot

    Mason wood

    Josh Schache is kinda being pushed out at the dogs with Bruce coming over, they'll struggle to play all three, and is best mates with Clarry.

    Interesting...

    I'm torn as to whether he would actually improve us. He'd probably compete with Weideman for the second forward spot. I guess it's a depth thing as well.

    Depends on the price, I guess.

    It’s not Jake Stringer on the hunt for forty-four new mates is it? 

    He’s kicked most of his goals against Melbourne ?

    Tory Dickson would be pushed out too and would cost nothing as a 32 year old FA. Maybe mates with Crossy? Seems like a well loved figure down there and probably has character. Kicked 50/40 in 2015/16. 17 games this year for 24 goals. As he started in 2012 like Jenkins, he may feel he has more to offer with 3-4 less seasons in him like many other 30 year old players who've been in the system for 12+ years. Shrug. Not a key forward, but he knows when and where to lead and find it. Just spitballing.

    i would like to see Preuss get a bit more of an education as a forward, he is tall and strong enough to worry opposition teams, hopefully we can find some small crumbing forwards who can actually find the ball and kick some goals.

    Do we actually have anyone at the club capable of developing anyone as a KPP forward?  
    Someone like Neita or Ox?  What are they doing these days?

    Good call! There is a fire sale at Adelaide and he’d be a great get.

    Its Not as if Weeds is a proven consistent performer as yet. He has time but would love another Tall, Would take any of in preferential order Gunston, Casboult, Jenkins easy!

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
