Not sure if he's available. But he is what we need.

Tough with speed. Can do the contestable stuff but has pace and can kick.

We dont chase anyone, we dont tackle, we dont sheppard.. we dont even smother..

    Didn't he just get dropped from an underperforming GWS? Sign him up he'll fit right in.

    Mate he's just signed a 7 year deal. Do you want the club to be paying half for the next 6 years... ?‍♂️

    Him being dropped is no big deal. He'll be back to form again. Congilio is a brilliant character and he'll know he needs to win his spot back.

    Could see a scenario where Leon and Cogs orchestrate this as a rocket to the rest of the squad. If your captain can be dropped, that means every single player is vulnerable if their form dips.

     

    That’s exactly how it should be and exactly how we don’t operate

    Thanks putting in the perspective. I hadn't  realised the contact implications. 

    I agree 7 years ([censored]).

    I'd love this guy in our team.

    But not in my lifetime ..what ever's left.

    An inside midfielder. We have enough of those.

    Great player 'dazz'...somethings not right at GWS at the moment.

    The list they have v the footy they'e playing.

    I guess we're the team to play them back into form.

    Was there some animosity about the way he got the Captaincy???

    Whatever it is he's struggled to get back form after a long lay off with injury.

    To answer the question posed...would I have him?

    Yes, of course.

    Is he on the market?

    I highly doubt it.

    Can you confirm that you are going to post one of these for every single player who comes up for speculation no matter how ridiculous ?

    Fantastic player when hes up and running.... dont really care he was dropped, this season is mental and weird stuff is happening all over the shop.

    However his contract ends at the end of season 2026!  He wont be going anywhere for a while, maybe not ever.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
