We are targeting Maynard and likely to get him.  Its been a long campaign similar to that to secure Langdon.

Assume his Dad ( Peter, an ex Demon ) still works for us at Casey as GM.

Just a few ideas for the types of players we need. Take with a grain of salt.

 

Half Backs to replace Hibberd and Jetta:

Ed Richards due to the plethora of half backs the dogs have; Johannisen as a short term fill

Dan Houston and try get him back to VIC, Coffield as maybe a change of scenery would help him

Eggmolesse-smith as a very cheap option for depth who has upside and skill

 

Outside mids to support Langdon:

Liam Duggan, Brayden Ham, Justin mcinerney, Oli Florent (long shot), petrevski-seton as a hybrid mid on the cheap to rejuvenate his career

 

Ball use/forward of centre players:

Jack Billings as a free agent, Rhylee west who we bid on when he was initially drafted who can't get a regular game, Ben Ainsworth, Kane Farrell, Petrucelle, Lachie Schultz, Luke Breust (2 year contract for the experience to help with kozzy, spargs and nibbla)

Boom! Thanks GNF. Many’s the slip between the cup and the lip of course  but massive if it pans out.

Why does he want to leave Collingwood? Langdon wanted to come home totally different campaign in my eyes.

Well... they have terribly handled their salary cap and jettisoned good players in their prime and apparently may need to do so again.

They have an old playing list with most of their better players 27 years old with a heap of others over 30.

Their coach just quit. 

The board are infighting with a large spill on the cards.

He is 24 and probably doesn't want to play his prime in a rebuilding side.

Easy move to make in terms of where we play and train. Wants to play in a premiership.

I think we should give Quinton Narkle a crack.

Hopefully take advantage of Geelong's desire to top up with 30+ year olds and nab a guy who otherwise would be in their best 22.

Has shown good signs at times and maybe a change of scenery would help.

I think we should give Narkle a good 3 year contract.  But what trade bait can we offer?  Perhaps let’s look to trade out a player like Hibberd for Narkle.  Nothing against Hibbo.  He’s 31 so right in the Cats perrrrrrfect age bracket!?!?!

I wouldn't be trading Hibbo he's proven Narkle isn't

Petrevski-Seton is an interesting one - probably gettable for a third rounder, horribly mismanaged by Carlton, ex pick 6 and only 23. Option on the wing and half forward - he's not really a defender or inside midfielder

I really rated this kid early in his career but he's gone backwards tremendously.  He's horribly inconsistent.

The only role I could see him playing for us would be a high half forward or wing which involves a lot of selfless running which I'm not sure he's the guy for.  Maybe a change of scenery & some better players/mentors would help.

You're right with the trade value.  I wouldn't offer anything higher than a late third.

Just re-visiting last years trade with the Lions which so far has been a win - in points value at least.

We gave up:

  • 2021 first pick (currently 18 @ 985 points)
  • Pick 25 @ 756 points
  • Pick 68 @ 59 points 
  • Pick 69 @ 49 points 

Total = 1849

We received:

  • Pick 18 @ 985 points
  • Pick 19 @ 948 points
  • 2021 Lions second pick (currently 33 @ 563 points

Total = 2,496.

The difference of 650+/- rates to around pick 29.

If NGA & Father Sons pop up our 2021 first pick that the Lions own may drop a few spots which makes the trade even more favourable.  Obviously if we drop a few games the difference will drop and the trade doesnt look as good.

So as positive as this has been, it leaves us with bugger all trade currency with our first two picks currently sitting at 33 and 39.

If we're keen to play in trade week, I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see someone like a Weid offered up

Keep trading forward next year's first until we look like sinking back down the ladder in the 2030s rebuild

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
