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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
