Our top 4 forwards have kicked 64 goals total this year,Ā 

in 2018 our top 4 forwards kicked 150 goals.Ā 

three of our 2018 top 4 forwards are still on the list, and 2 played on the weekend.Ā 

we've gone so far backwards offensively since 2018 it's not even funny,Ā 

We need forwards, a gun small forward, a big bloke who can take and mark and the best forward craft/forward coach in the business are absolute musts for us.

I agree with your last point about bringing in a forward craft coach. Our forwards are seemingly not taught basic skills of space and awareness. We lead into the congestion or to the pockets. Ā Often there is the ā€œfat sideā€ with space or the ability to leave a hole. Ā This is not my view as Brown, Carey, Brereton have same comments. Thatā€™s a fairly decent group of smart key forwards. Ā One of them would be handy in a part-time capacity. An hour a week with any of these blokes would still cost but itā€™d be very beneficial.Ā

    Article states we were one of the 3 clubs to have been told he won't be traded and that we had shown interest for a while now.

    Very interesting, i suppose that means we've got some money to throw around, or at least think we will after other trades go through.Ā

    Disappointing we wont get him but very encouraging we were going after him.

    We just might be big players in trade week.

    Its looking like so.Ā 

    This also means we are still after a small forward to compliment Pickett.Ā 

    What other options are out there??

    Yes, I'm a big a fan of Lonie. Problem is I read the other day that Doggies in the box seat to land him.

    The word is that Collingwood have a very tight salary cap and need to re sign Moore and De Goey....

    Some players will be squeezed out.

    Phillips (even though contracted) could be getable and would be a great compliment to Langdon.

    Another hard running wingman.

    We went hard after Jamie Elliott last year so it doesn't surprise me.

    Not too sure but now we know Papley was on the radar I am greedy and want us to land a gun forward not some mediocre player.

    A few I would have on my list to enquire about (that would be some kind of chance):

    Zac Fisher (Contracted to 2021, not likely to move, but Carlton will look for big body help for Cripps)
    Brent Daniels (Contracted to 2021, not likely, big squeeze on at GWS tho so worth asking)
    Jake Aarts (Rookie, out of contract)
    Shane McAdam (Contracted to 2021, who knows with Adelaide though)
    Orazio Fantasia (Contracted to 2021, as above tho)

    Interesting mate. Do you mean he's gettable because you've heard or you're putting it out there as an idea?

    Would love Tom. Not sure how we'll go with that.

    Trade table - Pruess, OMac, TMac, ANB, Smith

    Delist/Retire - Jones, Jetta, KK, Bradkte, Dunkleyor Brown, WagnerĀ x 2Ā 

    Targets - Moore, mature Sml Fwd (Bruest?)

    Role Changes - Harmes back to mid/tagging role; Viney to be split between fwd pockett and mid; if no trade for TMAC send to CHB and Tomlinson to wing

    List changes - Promote Lockhart and Bennell; Demote Neitschke to Rookie

    The most compromised draft ever (Academy and F/S) is about to be compromised further.Ā  Quite a few FA's are being courted:Ā  Daniher, Couch, Williams, Cameron, Viney etc.Ā 

    Nearly all would land a first round comp pick and those recipient teams will be in the top 10 of the draft.Ā 

    The draft system is completely broken.Ā 

    Ā 

    We did well to check out our best 2020 chips last year.Ā  Wouldn't think we take too many picks before 35 to the draft.Ā  Best to trade out our better chips for players we need.

    Good point about the FA compo, Luce. Hawthorn's #22 might end up in the 30s

    Kozzie and Rivers look even better value!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
