Remember the big debate about who was the better prospect  -  Jesse Hogan vs Joe Daniher?   Such awesome young exciting big forwards and theyve both gone down the drain.

    Well given the way Victoria / Melbourne is going with Covid he could play for us and still be located out of Melbourne.

    I certainly think he his worth looking at but hey anyone with talent needs to be looked at.

    Didn’t he want to leave melb the city bubble and why he was trying to get to the swans. 

    Was only the public narrative.  There's apparently a fracturing between Daniher and the fitness dept and a bit of a blame game being played over the management (or otherwise) of his injury. JD has reportedly moved out of Melbourne & commutes in from the country, so maybe a little in the 'getting out of the limelight' angle, but still manageable. I don't think Sydney is really an option anymore given the number of injured tall forwards they already have.

    I can understand the folks that don't want him, I'm all for asking the question. When fit (the crucial element for mine), Daniher's numbers are comparable with gun key forwards in his peer group (Lynch, Cameron, Hogan) and we desperately need a quality key forward. Our forward line is bereft at the moment. It would have been great to have kept pick 6 & selected Ben King in '18, but the list is what it is at this point.

    His fitness issues are where we could.offer a strong point of difference, particularly if Bennell settles in and performs without setbacks  over the course of the season. If Burgess thinks Daniher's injury issue are recoverable, then it'd be irresponsible not to investigate. Burgess probably would be critical in the recruitment process tbh. Another selling point would be the number of familiar faces currently at the club (although none are probably all that popular with the fan base rn).

    The other player i'd try and hit up from the Don's at the moment is Saad. There's some back and forth around the contract discussions and would absolutely fill a need for us.  If we were able to add those two and integrate into the line up, we would have a very different look and arguably be much better equipped to play the style Goody wants to employ.

    Develop and keep.

    I'm very concerned about what is happening with our development of young talent at the moment.

    Petracca aside, a lot of players have stagnated.

    great journalism. whoever wrote that headline should be sacked, but will probably win an award.

    Or they'll take credit as giving Melbourne the idea if they do it.

    Anyway my opinion FWIW if Burgess feels he can get him out on the park, fit and firing, then I'd be up for it. We lack tall marking options up forward (or at least we aren't playing any ?) and on his day he murdered teams, we were one of them unfortunately. Plus it'll be kinda nice to have a Daniher in the Red and Blue for Neale to support.

    All this is predicated on the idea that firstly Burgess is able to get him right, and secondly that he'd even want to come to our rabble of a club.

    Weid is lucky to get picked on the bench in the two's and posters on Demonland are seriously suggesting we shouldn't consider Daniher?

    I’d put all my money and trade initiative in more outside run and skill. Isn’t Josh Kelly coming out of contract? The GWS were going to have more salary cap issues right? 
     

    What other Talent is out there ? Swap Gaff for Brayshaw ?

    Kelly is OOC end of 2021 but his contract has some odd trigger clause that could extend it by 5 or 6 years or something.

    Fair enough. I genuinely think that the problem is midfield and game plan not the talent in forward 50.

    Matthew Egan - Head of Development

    Max Rooke - Development coach

    These two have been around for several years now with not much to show for it

    How is this so when you think back to how good he was in both finals, not only taking marks and kicking straight, he had second efforts chasing and tackling, can't loose that talent overnight. I really think his got in Goodwins bad books for some reason?

    Remember all those articles 4-5 years ago wondering if Daniher, Hogan, Boyd or Patton would be the best gun 600 goal forward??

    wow, time has not been kind. 

    3 years injured for a 200cm bloke?  unlikely he can come back in any real way. as much as I hate the bombers I feel for Joe.

    Not that it would be like the Bombers to run their business shiftily, but do we start to theorise about this...?

    Essendon are a horrible club to deal with when it comes to trades. They would want the earth.

    Yep.  You can just see it now - Bombers asking for at least a first rounder for a bloke who can't get on the park.

    If he came for a fair price you might consider the risk involved, although their idea of a fair price would be vastly different to everyone else.

    Edit - although I believe he is a free agent, or at least a restricted one, at the end of the year so you wouldn't have to deal with Essendon.

    There's a contract embargo on all AFL players and coaches so...  How about we make GF, Indiana, an offer she can't refuse !?....

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
