I also don't understand how people don't want to go after Daniher?

He's a FA and we could get his body right 

or we could pay significant coin to a player who, on a reduced list of 35, has shown zero ability to get on the park for the last two years

i still think he's headed north

    I wouldn't want us to pay big coin for him - that might be where the deal will fall through.

    Bennell couldn't get onto the park for 4 years? Still took a risk 

    I just don't see why we wouldn't throw our hand up and express interest

    Would love to know what our salary cap looks like. 
    We spent big on Lever / May, how much of that was front loaded.
    Many fans still citing we need a key defender and a key forward, we still lack midfield class. 

    Thoughts on Harry Himmelberg as a fwd option?

    fogarty just did his shoulder unfortunately

    he might be another in a long list of player's whose body is simply not made for the rigours of afl-level football

    Your kidding.

    Well, that might help us, he may want a change,  from the downward direction of the crows in a rebuild period.

    Not enough upside - could see him go in and out of the team 

    I just don't get why we don't play Weed or Jacko deep and get games into them

    His,  Daniher's stories don't ring true.  So we Demonlanders smell something that is uncomfortably bullish.

    I saw him as a cheap gettable option. Kicked roughly 30 in 2018 and 40 in 2019. 

    I’d be playing Weed all season if fit but we’re not. You would think he’ll leave at years end if that is still the case.

    Whilst I don’t think Jackson will need years to influence a game, he will be managed this year, not quite ready.

    agh, but what about as CHB.?   swing man.

    We need a running key back who will draw opponents ahead of him,  and skilled enough to layoff to a teammate, to advance the ball.

    Weed will likely leave for nothing at years end. 
    Throwing a truck of cash at someone is one thing, getting them to the club is another.

  • Quote

    To be honest there's not much out there and I'd rather save our coin for someone who earns it. 

    If Weed leaves this year without playing at least 8 games it'll be a shame, have to give him a few more cracks at it

    Term of contract,  money,  and negotiating with GWS.? 

    I still would be to rushed to jettison Weide.  This is the first time he has had a decent injury free entry into the season, and its a carp season.  His body is just starting to appear manly so IMV he's just entering his productive time.   He's contracted to end of next year.

    And I would honor Weide's contract; and try to extend next season.  If he starts to show his stuff.

     

     

    Now we are appearing like we are going to free up quite a bit of salary cap space this end of season.  For Whom.?

    keep the coin, no rush to splurge right now

    We must build the list every season.   Make savings elsewhere.

    But to fall behind others in our area of ladder development, is to give up.

    CHB is an issue,  and I don't think Lever is it,  not do I think Smith.  Both Lever and Smith to me are tweeners.  Utlity's.

     

    I want an attacking CHB like peter knights did back in the day. with modern subtleties.  Maybe the Hardeman comparison is more apt.?  But not a 197 cm beanstalk...  but a low centre of gravity strong build,  who can run all day and hit targets.

    We don't have to literally build the list every year. I want to but I'm also thinking long-term and I'd rather hold out a year then rush someone in. We can still build the list by backing players in and cutting the dead wood. 

    yes we all want types but they are either snapped up early or don't grow into that role until year 5/6.

    Yes of course,  and If we cannot get an upgrade on our picks, we need to trade some in.

     

    One type was Rivers,  another type was Jackson

    One other type, I'd like is PWright.  That heavy ruck/forward who would hope can use his body weight to effect.

    Tmac and Pwright are way too top heavy.

    With the covid 19 tight financial impact, I think AFL lists would be cut to 40 by start of 2021 (37 + 3 rookies)  
     

    Gawn (c) Viney (VC) Oliver. Petracca. May. Harmes. Brayshaw. Melksham. Fritsch. Jetta. Lever. Langdon. Tomlinson. Salem. Tmcd. 

    Preuss  Hannan Hore Hunt Lockhart 

    Injury queries - 2020 a must year - J.Smith# Vandenburg# Bennell# 

    Developing - Petty Sparrow Bedford Jackson Pickett  Rivers Jordan Nietschke (r)

    Hold onto  (but need to show more) - Weideman   omcd Hibberd Brown 

    (35)

    trade - ANB 

    likely retire - Jones

    Likely delist. KK. Dunkley Spargo. Cwagner. Baker JWagner. Chandler.  Bradtke  

    Add 5 more (3 main list + 2 rookies)

    Not as a combo  MF-c. 

    Wright to play deep pocket with someone like Hunt at FF,  and a small.   TMc can get back to his old playing weight,  play high,  or leave.

     

    My vision,  ideally would be for Wright in pocket alongside Weide, who would be the lead-out FF.  Picket about them.   A mobile smallish CHF (think Ryan Okeefe) playing high.   And speed on the flanks.

    I watched the Crows match earlier. Himmelberg needs a lot of development. Still not agile enough. Big but inactive type.

    Sorry, just to clarify, I’m talking about Himmelberg from GWS.

    Ok. He’s an option. Good aggression too.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
