Aggressive, known goal kicker, free agent, will provide another big target inside 50 best mates with Tomlinson.

Also, the highest paid player in the game. Would love the have him though.


 

Overated.


Apparently the league's highest paid player. Do we have a spare 1.2 million + in the salary cap?

Lose Viney, Jones and tmac and we might be in business

Sometimes you have to go big and be bold to get results.  Even if he only performs for one season or even just one finals series and it all clicks.  That might be the one season that sees us land an elusive flag.  From the Sun's player ratings post their premiership...

TOM BOYD 9

Pay rise? Early goals huge, contested marking enormous and did it all banged-up after throwing himself at Mummy last week. Whether it was Peter Gordon or Jason McCartney, it was the trade that broke the drought.

Tom Boyd showed why he went pick No.1 and why he’s worth the money. Picture: George Salpigtidis"...

Sometimes one player can make the difference.  I recall Hogan sledging Boyd as he sat out a match one day at the G against us after copping a sledge himself.

At that stage Boyd was getting pilloried by the press at the time for being an over paid bust.

Well he who laughs last longest. One has a premiership medal around his neck, the other struggling over in Perth.

It pays to be bold i reckon.  At least you never die wondering.  Can't see it happening but i'd be making this our No.1 recruiting goal and leaving no stone unturned to get it done.

He's not that. Reckon May/Lever will comfortably hold him

How? Having a down year, but his record speaks for itself. The guy averages 2.5 goals a game and has at least another 100 games in his prime barring serious injury. Seriously, with all due to respect to Neitz and Lyon, he'd be our best full forward since Fred Fanning.

Don't think we'd be in the race, but it would be downright negligent not to throw our hat in the ring.

Not true. They also go to clubs that can pay them lots.

An AA FB holds everyone, hardly a measuring stick.

Either way, Weid is left to kick 4 on Tomlinson/OMac.

Ok, will rephrase.....Gun free agents, who have not tasted the ultimate success, only go to clubs with premiership potential. So Cameron won’t come here

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
