Interesting that Herald Sun has Hawks leading the race, even though they are probably the furthest from a GF.

I think we have bigger needs. Pass from me.

    He'd 100% improve us IMO. Genuine winger on each side.

    But, not for 650k PA over 5 years...

    Agree,  good player.  Great wingman but that money would be better spent on Jordon, Kossie, Sparrow ect

    If you asked me 3 months ago, I'd be all in for Amon. But JJ's form stacks up against Amon. JJ averages only 1.5 possies less per game but has kicked more goals. 

    I'd much rather keep Gus than pursue Amon.

    JJ has been excellent this year. He deserves that wing

    I wonder how much of our Amon interest is linked to plan B if Brayshaw goes. JJ has been quality and growing into role but if JJ or Langdon were injured who is next up??? I also sense longer term JJ makes his way into the mid rotation. Our game styles requires quality post to post running wingers. Other than a 21-25 year old key forward (which dont grow on trees) I see a mature wing as our most required position still.

    I expect he would be 2-3 years from having the engine to play the role. 

    I'd like to see him on the inside to provide a touch more speed in there!

    Amon walks into Hawks midfield.  Hawks have a very good young midfield developing (and backs and forwards) and then will have more low draft picks to top up their talents. 
     

    I think Hawks probably offerred more $$$ which helps the decision. 
     

    Amon might have got into our best 18 but wouldn’t have been a “ week in week out “ certainty.

    The AFL should really publish this 'formula' so people know wtf is going on.

    That pick seems petty fair for a play like Amon anyays.

    So is he saying that if he was a year younger that might have had a first rounder? or that he's 'only' a year older than most free agents?

    I don't know enough to know what fair value for Amon or someone in a similar position would be. Once upon a time Polec was apparently worth a first rounder..

    Reckon they're in a bit of trouble with their midfield.

    Liam Shiels has retired and they're about to lose Tom Mitchell.

    Some significant depth right there gutted without any replacement.

    Hawks looking to rebuild Mids through Ward, Macdonald and Worpel. Amon helps immediately and likely get young Bailey Humphrey or Sheezel to strengthen even further.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
