apparently is happy with Brisbane's recent offer. Again, Carlton and North are the two clubs that have shown interest.

We would be absolute crazy to at least enquire.

Do you mean we would be absolutely crazy to at least not enquire?

I wouldn't even consider it tbh. I LOVE him, but the amount he would require financially is much more needed elsewhere currently, not to mention the trade currency needed that I wouldn't think we would have.

My shopping list would be: 1. Jezza Cameron (followed by Casboult then Daniher pending acceptance)

Just like Jezza and Daniher. They too will command big money.

And yes I did mean that lol

Holy chit if this bloke is available then get him! He would dominate in our chitful forward line.

The blue print was to be challenging for flags in 2020, would he help us do  that moving forward?

If we had anything left cap wise after chasing a gun key forward I would then put the house on Charlie, but for me, 100% key forward first.

I would go after Daniel Talia,  if I wanted quick effect, and had dollars.

 

But, that would put too many players in our older age bracket.

So I hope we draft a mobile key back.  193 - 194cms, quick agile and skilled.

Isn't Talia more a defender? Haven't followed him, super closely tbh.

Yes he is. An old fashion lock down defender.

Bizarre suggestion by MFM to be bluntly honest.

Yes,  I agree. He is.  But the type of player is what we lack.

I wouldn't sacrifice for the quick effect,  'wwsw'.

Yes, actually in under 18's he was a winger, in the match at the Dome.

To me he was the standout from those I saw that year u18's...  but only saw him in one game.

 

Can he play forward, interesting.

I was trying to make the point that our defence still needs another gun tall,  so that Lever plays 3rd tall or small.   But Talia is too old for our defensive mix.

He and May would finish at the same time which isn't good. 

Although May can play forward as well.?

Key back? What?

We've got young forwards, and older,  but we have nothing in the pipeline Re tall backs.   Once may is done, were stoofed.  If Lever gets hurt, were stoofed.

 

It's CHB we need mostly from the draft this year.

 

But I would go after Fogarty hard,  as a trade hopeful.   He reminds me of a bigger Glenn Archer, a key position Archer.  Brick walls beware.

And he could hit the midfield as well, imo.

I would chase him till the cows come home.  Small POWER forward.   193cm  94Kgs  21Yr  old.

And he would compliment a 200+ cm big forward.

Ffs I would love a thread that isn't just clogged up with mess by the same certain individual every single time.

Started a Charlie Cameron thread, turns into how we need a Daniel Talia in our side.. because you know he's the missing link to our success....

Story by Tom Brown...not Mr. Reliable 'dazz'. 

I wonder what Brown's average is this year? Just about everything he's thrown up has been thrown out.

I would expect Cameron will be well looked after by Brisbane.

They would be mad to let him go but if he wanted to move I'm sure we would welcome him with open arms.

I can't see Cameron leaving unless it's for crazy money, and I can't see us affording to pay him crazy money whilst offering an attractive team to join.

We've got a very expensive midfield and a lot of cash locked up in two tall defenders. And no first round pick.

I'd imagine we're looking around the key forward market but otherwise we'd be shipping out a lot of players and turning over the list dramatically to bring Cameron in. Worth a phone call and to find out what Brisbane are offering, but if North and Carlton are already involved then I'd imagine it's at the silly money level already.

Could very well be just the standard player manager ploy we see about this time every year to ensure a fat contract...

Getting back to Charlie Cameron, I wouldn't trust the reason anybody puts forward publicly for leaving Adelaide. He may well have wanted a trade "home" to Brisbane, but looking at the [censored] show that is Adelaide, and the way they hung Lever out to dry, you're always going to float a reason that is least likely to rile those in Adelaide when you're at the departure lounge. So I wouldn't automatcally assume he's not gettable.

That said, I'd rather we put the money into a KPF however.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
