Let Viney walk in free agency, we get a first round compensation pick, use the cash to get williams. Brayshaw goes back to inside mid, we get a great ball user off half back in williams, and a top 10 pick.

    I reckon someone like the saints would give him 650k+ which should be enough for 1st round compo

    Need a class ball user, Short, Houston, Whitfield, maybe a mills from Sydney. Recon we missed out on James aish last yr

    Aish's ball use at under 18 level was okay, but it doesn't stand up in the big time. He's also as soft as they come.

    Yeah, they're similar and have always been joined in my head as they both came out of the SANFL as highly touted outside youngsters. I think Aish is softer, but has a better temperament to succeed, which has enabled him to get onto three AFL lists. Or maybe he's just luckier that he didn't land at Melbourne first and have his confidence shot?

    As people are mentioning trade targets, Corey Lyons is unable to get a look in at Brisbane. I’ve watched him in NEAFL games and he is very good.  Melbourne boy. Yeah, he has a brother at the Lions but if he wants to play A Grade, he needs to go back home.

    Either he plays in the centre square or he doesn't play as hes useless anywhere else.  Same goes with Harmes.  Wake up coach. 

    I wonder how much development has happened to train either in other positions.  I don't mean experiments of playing them here, there and everywhere like we have over the last 1.5 years.  I mean genuine re-training to maximise their talents to own other positions. 

    Without setting off the conspiracy theorists around here, we have a recent history of when a player falls out of favour for whatever reason, one way or another they are maneuvered out.  It is something that happens regularly in non-sporting organisations so no reason to think it doesn't happen at football clubs.

    It will be our loss if that happens with either.

    This bloke doesn’t look interested.

    Zero intensity.

    I reckon he wants to go to WA with his brothers.

    Yes. Grrat finish to the game but would love to see him play well when Melbourne aren't playing well (petracca gawn and viney all seem to be able to do this)

    16 touches in the second half for Brayshaw. Started in a lot of centre bounces as well.

    Which is where he belongs. Hope this finally convinces them he aint a wingman.

    ...and all against the bottom side. Needs to do it against the top teams.

    Started in the centre square at the opening bounce, I believe.

    Had no impact, at all, in the first half. Terrible half.

    Improved markedly as the game went on, and that's obviously a good thing, but we must keep in mind our opponent was pathetic.

    Needs to back that up next week, and longer term. Hopefully he gets some confidence from how he finished the game.

    Hopefully he got confidence from his second half and goes on with it now. First half terrible, second very good. At his best is a real asset for us.

    The last quarter especially has been the Brayshaw of old.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
