Depending on the cost I wouldn't mind Connor Blakely on the opposite wing to Langdon. Was/is a rebounding defender at Freo but out of the side at the moment because of defensive flaws, despite that he's a good kick and has pace, both two things we could well served with.

 

Langdon and Blakely had a huge falling over a very personal matter. Blakely instigated the matter and that did not go down well within the Freo hierarchy. Its no coincidence that he's barely played a game since Langdon left.

    Ah right, well there goes that idea!

    Good ball user of half back/wing

    Dunno who is available but that is what we need

    Small lockdown defender to takeover Nev as well but depends how Lockhart comes along I guess

    it will be interesting to see who is on the shopping list at the end of the year, both from us and for us

    viney (rfa), fritsch, bennell, hibberd, hannan and o mac are the only current 22 out of contract, which is a pretty small number in the grand scheme of things

    https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/out_of_contract_players

    anb could help adelaide enormously with his 'buzzing' around the contest and defensive intent, you'd think someone would see some value in hunt, who knows whether preuss could command interest from someone, while petty you would think would be a pretty important signing for us given his youth and potential

    Ben Brown is gettable.  kangaroos-are-shopping-ben-brown-to-other-clubs

    Sounds like North will test the water and if Brown gets a package that lands them a 1st round pick (#3-#5) they will let him go. 

    I believe Barrett is a North supporter so he would have good mail.

    I post that for info.  Not interested in going after him.

    Edit:  To clarify, Brown is out of contract but not an FA,

    Haha, can you imagine @Jaded if we landed Ben Brown? ?

    ANB has been in and out of our side over the last 18 months and we have been pathetic. He won’t bring in any value from elsewhere. Bryce Gibbs & a Crouch brother have missed games at Adelaide and despite whatever issues they have with Gibbs, he’s a far superior player to ANB!

    We don’t have enough quality on our list to attract trades that will get us high value returns. 
     

    I think Rivers covers one skilled half back role, will need another on the assumption Hibberd and Jetta are in the twighlight years.

    I still think we are short on elite ball users, we need someone to balance out Langdon a little more than Tomlinson does

    Signing ANB to a 2 year deal last year was a very very odd decision.

    No to Ben Brown. He will be 28, cost too much, and while he's a decent player, he's just one of those one trick ponies I can see dropping off sharply.

    I like the idea of bringing in a proven half back, and releasing Salem up the ground. I'd personally be open to trading Brayshaw, as it makes sense to trade what you have an abundance of to fill a need in another area of the ground, but I'm pretty sure the club are keen on keeping him, so it would have to be done in another way.

    I see plenty of people asking for Salem to be further up the ground, I don't think he has the pace/tricks/size to offer much more than a decent kick. He isn't going to break games open, we don't need another mid-range accumulator around the ball

    Could not agree more, over rated on here and  doesn't hurt the opposition enough in my humble opinion

    I really think we should persevere with Hunt on the other wing if only his disposal improved. Langdon speed and willingness to take on the opposition and create space has improved our inside 50s a lot

    I hate Norf but I’m all for improving our lost. I’ll be fine with Brown if we don’t overpay.

    Forward of centre, he has the ability that not many on our side have, and that is to consistently lower his eyes and hit targets. If he is delivering the ball inside 50 more often, we are going to be a better team.

    Way too early to start another thread like this without knowing what they are going to do with list sizes and salary caps next year and moving forward plus they've only just opened the ability to talk contracts again. It'll just turn into either people thinking we can go and get any player we want for cheap (Whitfield) or another bashing thread (ANB).

    Can't get a game over an aging Grant Birchall.  

    Having said that, a fresh start might be the go for him and if he can't get a gig in the seniors then he might come at a discount price (eg. a six pack and a bag of crisps).

    I see the appeal in his short kicking, but what about going back the other way? If he were manned up on Langdon or anyone elses equivalent, he would be in serious trouble.

    Hannan and Fritsch would be well ahead of him for HFF positions for me.

    Cameron followed by Williams. Kelly got his big pay day and took his foot off.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
