Just saw that Matt Parker has been pushed out of the Saints. A dangerous forward with freakish talent, who is on the inconsistent side. Still young. Is he worth a punt??? It’d be a cheap pickup and we are still in need of a small forward and a Hannan replacement 

last year’s highlights package:-

    Has something happened here? Thought he looked good in his first year but then totally dropped off the map this year.

    Having watched his highlights, one thing I like about him is the aggression he shows. He genuinely loves tackling blokes and knows how to get the shoulder low and drive the tackle. He should be on our radar. He and Kozzy would be a deadly little combo

    Just another 10 disposal player who won't make a shred of distance to our team.  You don't see him for three quarters then he'll have a purple patch for 10 minutes.

    He's not what I'd call a quality role player who'll improve you.

    Surprised by this. Not a definite yes but not a definite no either. He can play. It’s about the scope for improvement.

    What about a certain maybe, or a probable possibility.

    Could he be the small, quick forward?

    Has a bit of height and aerial ability that makes him more like Hannan and separates him from the small smalls we've got.

    Wouldn't be rushing to sign him but he's not the worst.

    The Saints are loading up with midfielders and probably trying to get Billings and Gresham through the forward line more. Maybe with Jack Higgins too. With or without Lonie. That puts a squeeze on their list spots.

    Another I'd consider is Billy Gowers from the Dogs.

    Kicked 26 goals in 2018 in a team that struggled.

    Not saying he's a game changer, but we should look at these delisted free agents for depth in areas we lack it.

    Have you seen him play recently? Could be the worst footballer in the AFL. Genuine space cadet.

    absolutely not, the ferret is not the answer

    I wouldn't go near him. there is a reason a team desperately trying to recruit players with speed and X-Factor has delisted a player with both of those things

    He did look good a year back. Well worth a look, but obviously that includes due diligence on why he got the [censored] from St Kilda in the first place.

    Are the Saints desperately looking for speed and X factor?

    They bought in Hill and Butler last year to go with Billings, Gresham and co but this year they’ve recruited Brad Crouch to thicken the soup. They might be stuck with Lonie and Kent. Clearly they have interest in Higgins but speed is just a part of his game to go with class 

    They might’ve decided Butler, Kent and Lonie/Higgins is enough. Can we say the same about Pickett, Spargo and Bedford or are we better off to keep searching?

    You would think Richardson has some idea here.... then again.

    I agree. I think there are some issues here as to why the Saints decides to delist. It’s a no no call

    He would be behind Brown, Weid, Jackson and Fritsch.  I'd even have Petty there ahead of him.

    He isn't changing anything at the club for us.  Pass.

    Reckon if we wait 12 months a couple of reasonable HF smaller types may be delisted by Ssints in 2031 end of season.

    thinking Billing's Lonie a chance oh and Kent !!! Please NO.

      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?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
