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.

Any chance we could snatch Tanner Bruhn out of the giants?

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

Brad Hardie isn't renowned for being reliable :-)

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.

New appointment of the Collingwood coach.

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

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

two 2021 second rounders to give the filth the points they need to claim daicos OR our first rounder in 2022 for mine

get it done

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.

Doesn’t have much dog in him so can’t see it happening, I’ve always thought in a strong side, as an icing on the top player, he could be very good 

 

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.

  • 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?
