One I haven’t seen mentioned yet: Ben Ronke

Has struggled with injury and been unable to recapture his form of 2018 which compares pretty favorably to Papley and Butler’s this year. Vastly more talented than Spargo/Bedford and would likely come for a third round pick.

Like it mate. Doesn't kick a ton of goals, but tackles a lot so Goody would like him. Out of contract too I think?

I like it. If we try really, really hard over the next few months, I'm sure we can have a list with May, Lever, Gawn and 37 small / medium forwards for next year.

For those who put any stock in Sam McLure's word, see here: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/09/22/sam-mcclures-comprehensive-trade-update-on-brown-daniher-crouch-saad-cameron/

He says he doesn't know about TMac but suggests non-Victorian clubs would be interested.

Says Hurley, Cameron and Perryman all staying and Brown going to Collingwood or Hawthorn.

Very ‘comprehensive’ indeed

[Dee tention 616]

Gunston, Breust and Saad should be the priorities!

0 goals from 3 games this year. 9 goals in 13 games last year. Has kicked more than 2 goals only twice, which was the day he somehow kicked 7 against the Hawks and then another game where he kicked 5 against North.

If you put those games down as massive outliers then he's no more of a scoreboard threat than Spargo. Maybe a slightly better tackler but not as clean with the ball.

Butler and Papley are much smarter. They create goals. Ronke's a quick player who just found himself in the right spot at the right time on a couple of occasions.

Is there much hope of Hogan returning?  He has seemed disinterested since he got there, he seemed to love being at Melbourne (who knows why?!).  Would be a good swap for both McDonalds

If his body and mind are both right I'd be delighted to have him back  as long as it doesn't cost us too much.

Like the idea of him and May in the same side.

not seeing enough love for narkle as a high HF rolling through the guts

[Salems Lot 2,535]

I would love Gunston to be our target, pure class

[kallangurdemon 551]

high end trades dont seem to be our strong suit and I unaware of any one of note who has shown the slightest interest in coming .

On top of that we only have 2 realistic draft pick one in the mid twenties and one around mid forties .I have said previously that we can let 10 go without damaging our list structure .Where does this then leave us .? The Answer is ,i believe, that we spread the load and concentrate on b and c graders of the ilk of Polec and Hooker.They are not champions but are better than what we will let go. I do not see any possibility of Jesse returning but would be ecstatic if proved wrong on this .

I know it'll never happened, but I would love the club to ask the question to a former passionate demon supporter in Tim Tarranto.

Bulk picks on another inside mid would be such a Melbourne thing to do.

I dunno. Our best 22 squad of demon fans growing up is pretty stacked. Pendles, Judd, Gaff, Prestia. Might have to play him on a wing ?

Good point in the podcast this week about how journos only ever have players on the move going to 'big' clubs. 

[DubDee 25,902]

is there a general thread on trade rumours/deals involving non MFC clubs?

Im wondering where Daniher might go?

I think we should have a crack at Riley Collier-Dawkins. I know inside mid isn't what we need but this kid is a big body with legspeed and a heap of potential. If we're been bold and willing to let go of Viney or others we shouldn't be afraid to make a few offers.

Worst case scenario is it keeps Richmond honest and ups what they have to pay him.

 

RCD is one that crossed my mind. Was BOG in the VFL GF last season and looked like he would get games this year but couldn't force his way into the Richmond side. Still yet to debut and may look for a change for greater opportunity. The thing also with Richmond is that they have Baker, Aarts,  Pickett, Stack, Chol all still rookies currently playing that need to be upgraded to the main list so something has to give there.

Brandon Matera just delisted by the dockers. has played some good footy at times, has speed, knows where the goals are and we could pick him up for nothing. 

worth a look?

No!

[Adam The God 30,271]

Ben Brown or Jesse Hogan? Who do you go for? It sounds like both would come relatively cheaply.
