Hoping the Dees interest in Brayden Maynard has substance. 
 

Otherwise I think Ed Richards at the Bulldogs should be worth looking at.  Good skilled midfielder wingman type. Left footer.  Dogs has surplus of his type and he’d be a good addition at the Dees. Injured for first half of 2021 but should be back in next few rounds.  

Posted in another thread that we have, alongside a number of clubs, met with Richards management. He certainly seems as though a realistic target. The less he plays the more likely he is on the move.

Ben Ainsworth.  Unbelievable that he can’t get a game for the Suns. I have only seen a few games but he is strong, good kick for goal, good overhead and has skills. Not sure if it’s his workrate or simply that Suns are preferring to push Flanders and Rankine ahead of him.

Too soon. Plus another Geelong boy that they will try to grab in a few years. 

Bugger didn't know he was a Geelong fan, scratch that then

Would try to angle for an Angus Brayshaw for Cerra trade. 
 

Cerra plays the wing better and Jordan/Sparrow clearly ahead of Brayshaw on the inside now.

You’d probably need to chuck in our 2022 first rounder as well for that to happen.

Have heard from a normally reliable source that Brayden Maynard is a certainty to be a Dee next year?

This is fremantle we are talking about. With there trade history they will be throwing there 22 first rounder back our way with Cerra

Maynard would be a nice Hibbo replacement but surely we go after some form of point of difference....another fast winger, damaging medium sized forward

I hope you are right. I would love to see Maynard to play for Melbourne next season. I wonder if the new appointment will be the difference of him staying or leaving.

Very, very average IMO and certainly a missed top 10 pick there.

What on earth are we going to trade for Brayden Maynard?

Don't know.

But Collingwood have every right to ask for a late 1st rounder. 

Can't really say I believe this story as I think it really is Brad Hardie going on one of his drunken antics.

But Maynard would be a massive massive recruit for us. I rate him extremely highly.

With you Dazzle, if the Pies agreed to less than a first rounder i'd be worried they knew something we didn't.. 

he's a gun, and would cover the loss of Hibberd when he retires perfectly, but i'd imagine we'd have to be very crafty at the trade table to get it done.

I think our focus needs to be around developing a key tall by trading into the top 10 or seeing if there are any still very young outside the box types at state level ... Weid looks like he won't make it and tmac and BBB will do the job but won't be around in about 3 years when our youthful mids in Trac, Oliver, Jordan, Harmes, Brayshaw are still running rampant through the middle

Solid mail Cerra will be a Tiger next year.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
