Just get Vanders to tie up the loose ends of the deal, send another bottle of wine to Broady's Missus.

    Do we have a choice?

    I'd chase hard! would really sure up our forward line, 

    Imo Jackson will continue to develop in that role and Tmac with a pre season and injury free run may also be able to find some form. 

    do need Weid to take another big step though

    We desperately need a second tall forward to play alongside Weideman.

    Whether that's TMac, Jackson, Petty or someone at another club, it has to be a focus.

    As such, if we're looking at players like Mihocek, that's a good start.

    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. 
     

    Exactly. Mihocek would replace Fritsch/Hannan/Melksham as a mid range forward. He would not be competing for a spot with Weid or Jackson

    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.   

    I think he's a rare talent and has the potential to play  multiple positions. Would suggest holding off pigeon-holing him just yet.

    And as for Mihocek, yes please, with him on the list we can develop Petty as a CHB.

    Spoke to brother in law - Pies (yes, yes, I know - my darling wife and their entire family are Pies - a fact she did not disclose on our pre-relationship disclosure form) - about this. He said "you can have him. Can't take a contested mark, soft." I responded "lolz, he will fit in at Melbourne then. " (Self flagellation, it's a Melbourne thing, eh).

     

    Anyway, that feedback doesn't accord with what everyone else here says.

    Weid v McKay from the Blues, who people rave about. He is tracking ok Weid,  McKay has Casboult who requires a big body, i think Weid would benefit so well from someone like Mihocek.

    There’s obviously talk about Ben Brown but I’d think he’d potentially be too much of a clash with Weid. I think Mihocek and Weid could work well together up forward. All for us chasing him.

    We should be chasing hard, definite upgrade on anything we have now.

    Can play down back if required 

    Port Melbourne premiership player at CHB

    I was hoping we might have drafted him back then

    He stood out as being too good for VFL

    Jacko is one of our best below his knees Will be a generational NicNat type player and work with any forward line as he has shown already!

    Haven't seen enough of Petty to make any judgement  regards to playing forward

    Better to have some cover in case he is not what we think he might be. get another forward if we can.

    Like MFC, its a matter of which Mihochek turns up on the day. Very unpredictable player. He was an inspiring match winner on Saturday but stunk up big time in last seasons preliminary final with just 2 touches in the pies narrow loss to GWS.

  • Quote

    Bid the pies up and make someone from their list fall out and create a unhappy environment. 

    Make them pay for offering a Ruckman 1.2 for 7 years, one of De Goey or Mihochek will fall out the can't possibly keep both.

  • Quote

    Again reported that the Pies and Mihocheck are miles off in terms of money. Collingwood will have to give a piece up to keep both Moore and De Goey on money that will leave them untouchable for years to come. No doubt the pies are also in the same camp as we are in needing a good key forward. Would come at a fraction of the cost of a Ben Brown, a much more competitive player (imo) and hard as nails. Could be the missing big body that straightens up our forward line. Isn't going to kick beyond 40 goals a season but the structure and competitiveness he would be bring would be enormous.

    I hear Collingwood are looking for more tall forwards, if we were to get Mihocek could possibly trade Mcdonald to the pies? And if they were wanting more, maybe the pick we get from GWS for Preuss. I'd say Mihocheck is a late second rounder or early third.

  • Quote

    He seems to be behind Moore, De Goey and Daicos for the priority signing.

    He wants to stay but the 'modest' offer isn't acceptable.  By one report he is looking for $500k and 4 years.  This seems reasonable as he will soon be 28 and has been in the AFL for only 3 years and this is the only chance to earn some reasonable coin.

    Interestingly, he has been a Rookie for all of those 3 years so on absolute minimum wages.  That is a very good wicket for the pies.  Think its time for them to pay him what he is worth.  If not wouldn't mind him at the dees.

    You can stay on the rookie list whilst making more than the rookie minimum. For the last 2 years he would've been on at least decent money. Do agree that this is his best chance of a pay day and he deserves one.

    Yes, I know.  As a rookie he was most likely on base plus match payments so in all, well under the average AFL salary package. 

    And the pies have had the extra benefit of the first $80,000 not included in their sal cap.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
