The Herald Sun is reporting that Collingwood and Mihocek are miles apart on a contract renewal. As a latecomer to the AFL this contract clearly needs to be a big payday for him, but I can't imagine he is holding our for ridiculous money.

We clearly lack a link between our midfield and forward line, and have done since Hogan left. Mihocek is a hard worker and could be a decent option at a reasonable price. Not sure what we need to give to Collingwood, although they owe us plenty for Kennedy, Dawes and Lumumba.

    Garry Lyon is a big fan of Mihocek and encouraged his former club Melbourne to make a "polite enquiry" to his management.

    He (Sam Weideman) needs a bit of support through there, so I would ask the question about Brody Mihocek, my very word I would

    I like the play. But we need to develop LJ. So if we do get Mihocek - how do we play Mihocek, LJ, Weed in the same forward line. Coz lets face it LJ is not playing ruck with Gawn in the team.

    Mihocek is the type of forward you can play with other talls, especially if one is as mobile and decent below the knees as Action

    i'm sorry but Luke Jackson isn't a forward. he is a ruck. 

    It doesn't take a doctor to figure out he's not rucking over max next year

    you'd rather not play LJ at all than the 3 tall forward line?

    Yeah. he is a ruck, not a forward and I don't think we can carry 3 talls in our forward line with the poor crumbers that we have. We can't rely on pickett or Spargo to even find the footy, let alone kick goals.

    It would be amazing to land him, but I doubt Collingwood would let him go. Offer him $600 k over 3 years and see if we get a bite.

    That's garbage 'Dr'...our forward line worked so much better with him in it.

    He would be a great addition.  Gathering that Pies have to pay a few like Moore/ De Goey.  The pies would not want to lose him!   Pay him 100k more a year and get him in!

    'dazz', I think he is a 3rd tall type.

    He would be competing with Melk, Fritsch and Hannan..and would be an upgrade in his attack on the ball.

    He's a bit taller but still really not a KPF.

    Not sure he's where we should be spending our chips.

    As I mentioned in the Gunston thread, he’s an upgrade on Melksham/Fritsch/Hannan in every facet of the game. Worth asking the question.

    It’s surprising how many people are happy to settle with those 3 as our Pockets/Flankers.

    We should always be looking to get better and Mihocek brings a lot more physicality and consistent effort than those three, plus he actually kicks goals.

    Definitely a player we should target. Tough, good mark and kicks straight. Applies pressure too. 

    I like Gunston more, but Mihocek is out of contract and this is his chance to set himself up financially.

    Weid has kicked 19 goals in 11 games.  Mihocek 17 in 14 games.

    Having said that, Mihocek would be a handy addition to our forward line, although I think if you sniffed around enough it would just force Collingwood to up their offer and re-sign him.

    Pies have just signed Grundy on a mega deal and have De Goey and Moore out of contract. We should chase Mihocek, De Goey and Moore, as the Pies can probably only afford two.

    Why would Collingwood trade him he is their only forward. Persist with Jackson, Weideman and Petty it will pay off.

    A player you can count on to give 100% effort every single game. Why wouldn’t we enquire. An upgraded Vanders.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
