    ✅ still in Melbourne 

    ✅ not on a 4 hour flight every fortnight 

    ✅ plays on the MCG* 

    ✅ Dees have left side wing ready and available 
     

    Surely we can sell the MFC 

    Our colours are red and blue. They’re pretty cool colours.

    If we can’t sell this over playing in purple for an entire season, we’re pretty bloody hopeless.

    This alone should convince this kid to want to choose the Dees over the Purple Headed Anchors.

    Those highlights weren't that impressive. Kicks seemed to float and didn't see much hard running to present an option.

    Amazing yes those floating kicks all floated through fir a GOAL Bingo! And in the centre of the goal too 

    and

    The others  either were goalsquare goals or pinpoint passes to leading forwards.

    My you are hard to please admittedly gut running didn't feature but his did Tom get from the wing to goal square ? Running I presume and as good as Ed Langdon is he Doesn't do that ( except miss from 15 m out in Cairns)

    no Tom will do but Narkle would also be a good get and Jordan Clark a great pick.

    Surely the biggest issue with this trade is the Pies salary space is already spread thin. We will likely pony up a portion of his first year but can the Pies squeeze him in?

    I am aware that doesn’t matter anymore - just a good story if it happens.

    Not sure about that...

    I have my Phillips’ mixed up. 
     

    Apologies to all! It’s not a good story.

    Good thing that doesn’t matter, amirite?

    And can people attending Caulfield Grammar in the last decade with the same name please be more conscious of their impact on the ill informed?

    Assuming Brown is secured I would be turning all my attention to Tom Phillips, including picking brother Ed up from the Saints on the way through who’s is OOC.  If not and we can clear some space with Tmac any half decent offer for Polec should be next port of call.

    Narkle also interests me as a worthily OOC option as well as any potential way to get Jack Sinclair out of the saints. More run and outside polish is needed once we land the big fella.

     

    Sinclair will definitely provide the Polish your after ?

    Is Phillips a better recruit than Polec? My read is Phillips is a marginally better athlete and better tackler, but Polec is a better kick. But I admit I haven’t watched either of them closely enough to give a proper view.

    I know little about Phillips but i think 90% of the comp is a better kick than Polec

    My view appears to be Philips is better 2 way runner, Polec is the faster player, Polec the better kick, Phillips the better bloke.

    Does that make Tom Browne an Israelite or fanny by the gaslight?

    It's hard to know. It's another conundrum in this thread of conflicting perspectives...

    Thanks DD36. Tom Browne meets Captain Obvious once again. I just hope the Dees hierarchy have half as much sense as Dland posters. We were on board this weeks ago. 
     

    Fellow posters and Dees fanatics- just out of interest, what would be offer for Phillips. 
     

    ? future 2021 MFC 2nd round pick ?  ?

    ? straight swap with Tmc and we pay some of Tmc contract $ ??

    ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Preuss from GWS roughly - pick 34-35 by the time ?

    ? 2020 MFC pick that we get for Hannan from Dogs - roughly pick 50 ?

    Phillips seems like a no brainer. He is better then what we have on the wing no matter what because we only have one winger in Langdon.

    Also he's younger and i'm sure the money we had planned for Smith is much more than what Phillips would be taking right now.

    laughable to suggest that this deal is even. mcdonald is a washed up 28 year old, Stephenson is a 21 year old that has showed alot of promise. Even Buddy had his off field issues

    stepho is on big wage 500k till 2023 and they are questioning his commitment and off field stuff, they need to sacrifice some players and with young daics in next year and both brown brothers they have replacements

    Throw the kitchen sink at Phillips and Brown. 2nd round kitchen sinks - no more.  We desperately need some more outside skill.

    I think we can get a bargain with Phillips and Brown. They aren’t wanted by their clubs.
    Time to turn the screws.

    89 games with 44 goals. Averages 22 disposals a game and 2.5 tackles. Had a fairly ordinary season this year by his standards in this disrupted and truncated season. I’d jump all over him. He would be a great get and only 24 years is yet to hit his prime.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
