    ✅ 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.

    • 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?

      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?
