Can you play all of Brown, Tmac, Jackson, Fritsch, Gunston in the same forward line?

Gunston is an absolute jet but IMO we already have our Gunston in Fritsch. Gunston might be cooked as well he has missed the entire year pretty much with a back injury, which is pretty bad especially for an older player. I'd like to see Fritsch drift higher up the ground more like Gunston does, his field kicking exquisite, especially going inside 50 always lowers his eyes.

Agreed, I'd be looking for another small to pair with Kozzie rather than an aging tall

    Interesting that during the Demonland podcast Pert was talking about having conversations with players wanting to come here. Said it is very different to previous years and players were saying 'If I've only got a few years left Melbourne is a club I'd like to go to'.

    It may have been an off the cuff comment but I wonder if we are looking at someone like Gunston or Bruest who won't be there when the Hawks are successful again

    Wouldn’t mind us having a crack at Pendles on a Lewis like deal. 2 years on a playing/coaching role. Might help clean up our midfield decision making

    29 at the start of next year and the Swans would demand the world for him.

    Weid (valued at: pick 30)
    Pick 31 (tied to Bris)
    Pick 54
    Total points value - 1455, equivalent to pick 10 
    In exchange for Brayden Maynard.

    Remaining assets to trade into the 2021 draft:

    Pick 38 (tied to Hawks) 
    Future 2022 1st round draft pick (Melb) - will be assumed to be pick 18 by opposition to cover worst case scenario (in their eyes)
    Total points value 1450 - equivalent to pick 10

    I don’t think he can put contract talks on hold considering he's still contract until the end of 2022.

    Collingwood could be trying to extend / re negotiate his contract on a back ended deal, that seems to have worked well for them lately.

    Would be a great get but can’t see him leaving.  He is skipper, they are flying and they are a brilliant club

    All I’ve heard at this stage is that Barrass from WCE to Sydney Swans will get done on compassionate grounds, and I find it very hard to believe, however, I’m hearing that Harmes is not happy with his “role” at the Dees and will entertain trade talks at end of year.

    Fair enough. 

    On Harmes, not sure how this can be possible? He's being playing pure mid or close enough to it the last couple games, at the expense of Viney's additional forward time.

    losing harmes wouldnt be a bad thing at all for our guts, get gus on the inside and go for that lipinski type on the wing and get more games into jordon/sparrow who are just as capable. would be relatively surprised tho as he is a dees fan since childhood and he's got the big LT deal sorted and he'd definitely like the offfield shenanigans that we know go on

    also on barrass, wouldn't be such a loss for the eagles either Hedwards looks a real type at over 200cm and they've still got mcgovern, nelson etc in the short term obviously barrass is a serious star player but if any side has the defensive depth to not notice it'd be the weagles. not sure how the swans pay him tho given their public issues on the coin front especially given aliir just made way in that same role

    I'm not a massive fan of Harmes as a player, but he's had so many mixed messages (right or wrong) from Goodwin over the last 2 years and has been frustrated most of that time. Clearly played out of position last year, this year was put more into a role that suits his strengths but was then given very specific instructions on how to play it and what to do; which made it more complicated - and let's be honest, he's the kind of player who needs it simple - and I wouldn't be surprised if that's had an impact on this apparent want for a trade. He was very very close to requesting a trade last year but Yze smoothed things over, as he's done with a lot of players, and he was swayed.

    I know Harmes and Goody sometimes have had their moments, but you can't underestimate how much he and his family are invested in the club so I'd be somewhat surprised if a trade did eventuate; although not totally disappointed tbh.

    Great Intel mate.

    Unfortunately his old man passed away back in March.

    Huge get for the Swans..

    It would be disappointing if Harmes has not accepted his role especially as so many others have accepted changes.  The most obvious example is Gus.  Not only has he accepted the wing role he has embraced it and is a real asset to the team.  Viney is spending time fwd,  Oliver is playing a bit more outside etc.  The irony is that all those role tweaks/changes enable Harmes to spend more time in the middle.  

    Harmes came as a life long dees fan, a rookie, made a real go of it and earnt a long term contract.  It would be sad for him to go.  He still has a few years to go on his contract so I guess it is his choice to play the team game or to move on.

    • 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?
