Complete hypothetical. If you could have a player from any team to join our list, who would you choose? You can either go all out for the flag or bring in youngsters to help sure up the future. Up to you!

I've done a Top 10

1. A. Naughton
2. S. Walsh
3. B.King (I think he's better than Max)
4. C.Curnow
5. Bailey Smith
6. Zac Bailey
7. Shai Bolton
8. Horne-Francis
9. Sam Taylor
10. Isaac Heeney

I've gone for a slight preference for Key Forwards up top because that's where we lack the most depth. Also, life after Ben Brown.  I've also valued younger players as they are more valuable to a list as they have more seasons in them.

    I like both of these lists so far.

    Neither of the King brothers work hard enough yet, but I would love Ben King and I still think he could be gettable in the near term.

    I know it's not really the point of the thread to go realistic, but planning a future post McDonald and Brown is important, particularly to keep our window open. So King would be at the top of my list.

    Dream scenario is Walsh, but equally, having Tom Green partner Oliver and Petracca is an incredible prospect.

    Brayshaw. Pundits keep saying Angus might go to Freo to play with his brother. What about the opposite?

    Would Freo offer Andrew Brayshaw for Luke Jackson?

    Not saying we should take it, just saying.

    Hopefully we can make a big splash in a year or 2 and trade in a KPF. Ben King or Harry McKay my preferences

    Nah

    I am sure they would try to offer AB for LJ but I am also sure that that would not get the deal done.

    Maybe it's just me but would much rather see ....

    A realistic chance of getting said player from other club vs a whole lot of player 'wish lists'

    Could we also add to this mature age (or other top end young talent!??) opportunities that some might be aware of on here that are sitting on secondary lists in the VFL, WAFL, SANFL etc right now and worth considering even as a mid season prospect if that's an option?

    It’s an interesting one as longer term we need key forwards due to the age of whose on our list.

    In the short term (2022/23) I’d still be keen on a lockdown defender for a Charlie Cameron/Heeney/Weightman type. Nev and Hibbo used to be great, and I’ve been super impressed with Hunt. It’s purely that the ground ball in defence is almost our only slight weakness.

    As long as it is in a package containing their 10 first round picks for the next 10 years, of course we’d take it.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
