    A friend bumped into Karl's father during the St Kilda & Port game last weekend. He gave a sneaky hint that Saints are the destination of choice and I believe he supported the Saints growing up.

    Would be a very good get. Anyone that doesn't rate him doesn't watch Port (completely understandable).

    He's a damn good player - finished 4th in Port's B&F last year, and top 10 in 2020 as well.

    This was from Ports game review thread last night. Obviously a small sample size, but I always find what opposition supporters say about their own players to be reasonably insightful.

    (in a non trade-week sense when everyone is worth 2 first rounders)  

    Amon - couple of average moments but his kicking absolutely cut the dogs to shreds last night

    Thought Amon broke the game open with some beautiful ball movement

    Amon has his laser boot back.

    Amon very good with some real pin point passes that cut the Dogs up

    My biggest and only negative apart from goal kicking.
    Does Amon look and playing disinterested?

    Really good player, I think there is every chance he goes to the Saints, but glad we're in the conversation. 

    If you can slot him in on the wing opposite Langdon and push Brayshaw back into the midfield rotation i think that greatly improves the team

    Depends if he’s interested in winning a flag or not.

    Only really seen him play a bit,  not paid much attention to the kind of player he is, if he isn’t guaranteed a starting 22 spot, would he want to come to the club?

    If we got him, who would he replace in the best 22?

     

    Not sure about 22 but would replace Baker on the list. Similar situation to Dunstan, securing depth.

    Actually I've under-rated him, would probably push out Jordon or take Brayshaws spot if he leaves. Didn't realise he was only 26 still a few good years left you'd think.

    If we do land him , some dominoes in the 22 reqd as he is too talented as ‘depth’.

    IMV he either takes Gus’s role on the wing and Gus either moves down to HB or the midfield rotation. Puts the heat on JJ, Harmes and Sparrow.

    Option 2, he moves to HF to mix it with Spargs, Kozzy and ANB. For me it’s a direct upgrade on ANB’s current role. ANB can then moved into the midfield rotation at the expense of players above or stay in the forward rotation as a pressure forward.

    Ultimately gives us lots of options to reshuffle and improve the 22. Biggest and obvious issue is salary cap space. Just cannot see it getting done with the current cap . Possibly a move to to keep ahead on the LJ front and/or tactics to keep Brayshaw’s mgt honest.

    Amon has too run a lot more both ways to impress me as a genuine winger  those heat maps show him around the same area,  that is my point  

    Not hugely damaging in his present role

    Have you seen Langdon’s heat maps? That’s where wingers get the ball. Teams aren’t going to let wing men just rack it up in the forward half

    Going to be a lot easier to convince Gus and Jackson to stay for unders than it is matching market rate on a guy who’s likely to move.

    If Jacko goes home or Gus wants a different role and a big pay day then that’s another question. Amon would be a good back up.

    Unless his primary motive is to win a flag , and the opportunities that being a premiership player may bring him.

    Would think that we could fashion a Salem/ Daniel Rich  role from half back or wing or even centre. With our superior development and coaching. 
    Or would he be more damaging as a half forward?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
