Would rather Phil Matera. That bloke always killed us ?

Sure did. Averaged 3+ goals a game against us - more than he did against any other club.

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

Good question! Lean towards Hogan because if he's not kicking bags he can still run and get up the ground but you do worry about those injuries.

Don't think Brown will be that cheap. Still a good player, despite the ridiculous hair and run in for set shot. Had a few issues this year, from what others have said here. Jesse is a spent force.

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.

 

Really remember we have Jacko!!!

Will alter  the whole Balance of our mids

You can't push him out the door and then expect the world for him.

Jesse may well be done.

Who the hell knows A F!

I don’t think Norf will trade Brown for less than late 1st or early 2nd. But they have certainly mistimed his trade value peak. Last year he probably would've got them top 10 pick.

A big if, but if he improves our forward line significantly, our pick 22 might get him. Remembering 22 will end up being about 30 with all the academy/fs/FA compo picks

I love the idea of a Hogan return but can you imagine Peter Bell allowing a fair trade value after spending so much to get him there?

Touring Brisbane today.

Supposedly it’s rubbish that he is touring Brisbane due to the hub restrictions.  Daniher would be out of the hub and therefore not allowed to meet with a team currently playing.

I’d like to see us make a try for Alex Witherden from the Lions. Seemingly out of favour with Fagan. Would fit in perfectly to MFC as the small defender to replace Jetta.  He had excellent skills, good pace and composure.  Offer a nice 3 year deal and perhaps a pick acquired in a potential Preuss trade.

i'm all for this too

from memory his last deal with the bears was quite a big one; will we be able to afford him?

My preference is Lockhart to replace Jetta! Heart for heart!

Which are?

Rumours about Jesse Hogan.

Less well known of Newton's Laws and one of the least useful of the 'universal constants' in physics.

What are the rumours? Enlighten us all. There is that much stuff made up about players at this time of year, so why not just spell it out? Is it that you think he is coming back to the city of Melbourne

I think @Demons11 had some mail around Jesse being available in one of the threads, any updates?

Haven’t heard anything since last week.  I’ll keep you updated if I hear something.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
