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?

Family are big Demon fans too.

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.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
