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?

    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.

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

    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

  • Quote

    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 .

  • Quote

    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!

  • Quote

    He's a very good and long kick .... but I'm just not sure we can accumulate enough down the field free kicks to make him effective.

    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

    Pass

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

    No, just no. Do people who suggest we go for him even football?

    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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
