    ✅ 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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
