sorta wanted a place we can all dump some potential names of interest across the competition to strengthen the side. just been spitballing in my head came up with a couple:

a small forward who tackles AND kicks goals, got McDonald-Tippungwuti front of the queue with 1 yr to go on his current deal, could be gettable given the two sides trajectories

wingman: either of whitfield or jkelly not sure about the getability tho especially with the money jelly is tied on and whitfields length of deal but maybe one might fall out to accomodate the other

half back: recently learnt jordon dawson was OOC and it caught my attention. might keep an eye on how he plays next couple weeks just see what he's like as a mature HB option we could look at. also eddy rich at the dogs has had some clubs ask the question and would suit a need but maybe less proven at the level to date

half forward: lipinski, too good to play vfl but at full strength seems to be on the fringes at the doggies so they can fit 12 mids in, certainly an improvement on melky in terms of touches and delivery but mayve less scoreboard impact, could also see harmes move to this role when all our side is availabvle.

I wrote in one another thread a few weeks back to watch this space. Very good chance Lipinski will be at the Dees in 2021.

    Having a talented list and performing strongly should make us an appealing destination for both young players wanting to return to Victoria and older players seeking a flag before retirement. On the latter, I wonder if we could convince Ziebell to come across at below market rates. He's a free agent I would suspect North might be happy to accept a 2nd round compensation pick (around pick 20) for a 30yr old that won't feature in their next finals team.

    We should pick up Brodie Kemp from Carlton, he is 20 yr old. This kid will be another Cripps.

    i doubt very much that, having taken two years to rebuild him, carlton would be prepared to let him go

    Gees imagine getting The Bont. 
    Dreaming I know.

    We’d be unstoppable. Would remind me of when KD went to the Warriors.

    Biggest issue be retaining who we’ve got. Spent plenty keeping pies away from Trac. 
    Develop our own and astute drafting.  If someone falls into our lap for unders, so be it.

    I'm just bumping this comment so everyone can see it in all it's glory for a second time. A thing of beauty. It has everything, complete unknown quantity, has never played a game, history of long term leg troubles, coming from a mid ranged club, 20 years old, comparison to a club champ. It's a future browlow medalist prediction away from being hall of fame.

    To be fair Rigatoni plenty of BS (big statements) are made on Demonland. You learn to let them pass...

    What makes you think that?

    I like Kane Farrell from Port. Gettable. Good kick, classy user. Don’t know if he’d transition to a wingman, but he’d add something different to our side regardless. Would be a best 22 player.

    Would be nice to raid a few of the power clubs who've spent years raiding the MFC, anyone at the Pies or Hawks sick of losing?

    Heard some rumours Brayden Maynard might be unhappy at the Pies. I hope we are into him. Would be a great lockdown defender, super competitive and excellent kick. No idea on contract status though.

    A quick google says Maynard will be a free agent at the end of 2022. Would Collingwood consider trading him a year early?

    Ed Richards and Lipinski are also worth a look IMO.

    Know it's not exactly a player trade target, but could we be aggressive to move into the top 10 of the draft this year? Perhaps trade a 2nd rounder and a future 1st and target the best available outside midfielder?

    Melbourne supporter, old man works for Casey Demons and is very close with Petracca.

    He would be an awesome replacement for Hibberd.

    And again, Maynard's inclusion would allow us to release Rivers to a wing or into a genuine mid role.

    We should be doing this every year, so that if possible, we're bringing in top end talent and giving Jason Taylor a look in the first round every year.

    Disagree it should be about necessarily targeting an outside mid. I think it should almost always be a case of picking best available.

    Not just his father Peter, but his brother Corey as well.  Would welcome Brayden to the fold.

    I had no inside knowledge but have been pushing this for a while now.

    Pies will need to get in a good draft position and Maynard is one of the few chips they have.

    He would be perfect fit in our defence.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
