Brown and smith are coming, hind I think will as well, and there are two other players who’d walk into our best 22 that haven’t been mentioned on here that I’ve been asked not to name. But I’m sure demonlanders won’t complain when the names are revealed. 

we’re desperate to get young macrae through the door.
 

looking at a similar restructure to our list as the saints had last year introducing a lot of speed to their side 

Higgins??

    If Higgins is available this year we should be interested IMO. I think he's a pretty good small forward.

    As to Billings, I do not rate him as highly as others, and certainly not highly enough to trade Brayshaw for.

    Big yes to Jack Higgins. He would be a walk up start in any team’s best 22 aside from Richmond who prefer Castagna, Lambert, Bolton and Rioli.

    We saw how valuable the discarded Butler was for the Saints this season. I rate Higgins even higher. Would be rapt to see him in the red and blue.

    A forwardline of Brown, Weideman, Jackson, Fritsch, Higgins, Broad, Petracca, Harmes, Viney and Pickett is not too shabby.

    I would prefer Higgins over Brown or Smith anyday.

    higgins has been one of my faves since he came on to the scene.. happy go lucky, gives his all. SIGN HIM UP. i'll be [censored] if he ends up anywhere else. happy to lose hunt, macs, hannan, preuss, etc and only get brown, smith and higgins.

    Billing’s for Brayshaw does not really make sense to me. Yes he is more outside, a bit quicker and a bit better kick but he doesn’t really clearly solve something for us. His top level form is as inconsistent as Brayshaw and I am unclear on what role he would play.

    With Higgins as well what is he solving? He is not a pressure forward but he is smart half forward with reasonable speed but many tricks. Certainly an upgrade on our forward line and best 22 I guess but not one I would expect us to be looking at for what I would suggest he would cost. 

    Are we looking to improve our quality and connection into 50 I get it but would not necessarily be where I would focus.

    I wouldn't do Brayshaw for Billings. The former is a much better player. Sure, Billings had a better 2020, but it would take more than Billings to make me trade Gus.

    Uh oh, there's those rose coloured glasses again, A F!!!

    Higgins has some serious footy smarts.  I know he has was out of the side this season late but I would be surprised if the Tigers traded him under contract.  

    Looks a future star and just a natural footballer to me.  I would love him at the Dees but part of me thinks if they did offer him up for trade maybe they might know something we don't.

    Nah. Billings has still not achieved anything. Angus has only had one good season, but it was a far superior season to anything Billings has put together. 

    Playing Brayshaw in the midfield as q midfielder would be really nice and will do wonders for our set up.

    Looking forward to seeing what Yze implements there.

    I think you’ve answered your own question.

    He’s an upgrade on what we currently have and that helps us improve. Melksham played all year and delivered absolutely zip, Higgins can slot straight into his spot and if he contributes every second game we are miles ahead.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
