I'm definitely on the King train too mate if we could convince him, but who would you be happy to trade to get him?

King is special - absolutely a developing star. How did we allow it to happen? What were the circumstances?

The Wright-Preuss combo would be a salivating prospect for Casey next year.

Luke Jackson is already better than Wright.  We don't need him.

We went for the understandable defensive post to end the puzzle. It seemed like a reasonable idea at the time. As @Fifty-5 has said, I think it we win a flag or go close in May's time, it was worth it.

Whoever they want outside or a couple of blokes. 

I'd nearly say outside of Petracca and Gawn just about take your pick. Ben King is going to be a superstar, potentially already is. offer him a huge deal and be brave at the trade table i reckon.

There aren't a whole heap of players on our list that have much currency and could also be seen as expendable.

The likes of Brayshaw, dare i say it TMAC and to a much lesser extent ANB are the only one's that could give us some value at the trade table. Would obviously need to throw in next years first rounder as well.

But if there was even the slightest chance King became available (he did sign a long-term contract last year), all 10 Vic clubs and even the 7 other interstate clubs would be trying to bring him in to their system.

absolutely the perfect goalsquare player for us and we can play Wright, Weid and LJ all together. Allows jackson to get a weaker matchup good for development and gives max a chop too

We had Frost and O Mac playing as our 2  key backs.   Fairly logical that we chased May when you think of it.

A good coach ( does not apply to MFC ) would certainly turn 2M into a good player . Hogan could also be considered , he was doing alright until he was recruited by freo.

stuart dew is rated pretty highly and prefers others to wright, who has been fit all year and can't get a run in the gc17 side cos he's slow, timid, and doesn't work near hard enough

not sure if we should focus on a player who hasnt had a game all year at a bottom 4 club.Big in physique but not a big mark .I also see him in the Paul Johnson mould .Better to do what we did with Langdon and get a player who will immediately add something to the team .

We would probably get Peter Wright pretty cheap from Gold Coast.

The question is...does he play better as a ruckman or a key forward? We need a key forward who can kick goals and ruck occasionally.

Can he actually mark the ball over his head? Is he a Paul Johnson clone? Another disappointment?

Plus I don't want another Mitch Clark disaster. That was incredibly frustrating! All that potential ruined by injury and other issues!

he's exactly what we need. jackson and weid both arent that number one hawkins, dixon, kennedy type we need a bail out option down the line who can really clunk one and take the big defender to let weid and jacko loose to roam and lead

wright doesn't have injury concerns; he's just an ineffective tall

IIRC our FD at the time thought he was not competitive enough, particularly given his size. Can't remember the exact details, however I don't think that assessment has been proven wrong

That's the complete opposite to what Wright is. He plays his best football roaming around.

tell me. how are Hogan and Peter Wright going to help with our forward pressure. They're just as slow as McDonald.

That's rubbish Hoges is quicker than 2020 Macca and you know it! 

Just say it that you don't want to revisit Jesses propensity to shoot himself in the foot OR his nearly but not quite performances in converting.

Haven't seen him play. The sun have a lot of good talls so doesn't seem to have gotten a look in. Sam Day has come good this year (If Day was available he would be handy) and King is obviously a potential gun

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
