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: 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?
