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!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
