Not really a fan of Tex - best well behind him imo and may be a culture killer

Contracted till end of 2023 at Swans I think but Joel Amartey is the guy I would be looking at - 197cm 100kg, can mark, kick and pretty mobile - with the right coaching and an opportunity could be a player

I've shuddered in horror every time I've seen the 'Taylor Walker possible recruit' thread on the main page, so I'm looking for reassurance that there are better options out there.

I'm keen to hear people's opinions on possible next key forward options for the Demons. It is clearly the next item on the list management, erm, management list. Respectable veterans slightly younger than our current ones to cover the impending hole? Mid-career club-switch prospects? Young key forwards who aren't getting games but could provide an honest contest?

If I can figure out how to add a poll to the post later, I'll take in people's nominations and create a poll.

So, who have people got an eye on for this essential part of any 'dynasty creation'?

Walker would be a perfect fit right now.  But here is a bit of a left field trade scenario if, IF we can't keep Jackson.

Melb Trade: Jackson & future 4th.  Recieve: J. Ugle-Hagen & First Round

Freo Trade: Lobb & First Round.  Recieve: L. Jackson & Second Round

Dogs Trade:  J. Ugle-Hagen & Second Round.  Recieve:  Lobb & Future 4th

Dogs really want Lobb,  and apparently Jamarra isn't happy with not getting a game.  He is too good a talent and them chasing Lobb doesn't look good for him.  He would be a good prospect for our future teaming up with JVR.

Obviously the picks would work out differently but just a rough idea.

L Jackson for Ugle-Hagen

That is a wonderfully ridiculous statement

Jaheeezus H Chriiist, 

More moves than I used to make in my "Golden" years on the Disco Dance floors at St. Peters, Powerhouse and the Bearcave Cauldron of anything goes in Caulfield F.C !!! All of course in the seventies and eighties!! 

Back to trades..... Very Interesting!

Hagen and a first rounder.  Don't get me wrong he was great for a 12min patch in the GF and is going to be a gun.

Essentially, we get 2 first rounders for him which is what I'd expect

Come on man.

Like I said would be different picks.  But they will have to give up something for lobb,  and I can't really see how ugle-hagen fits in with Darcy coming through and their reported interest in Lobb

Dude..

Like I said different picks,  I'm not going into futures and stuff.  I don't know enough about it all.  But they can't play Naughton, Bruce, Darcy, Ugle-Hagen and Lobb who they are reportedly very keen on.

But Hagen is no good and That’s why he can’t get a game. 
Anyway F all that. I want Jackson to stay

Jack Watts was Tough compared to Ugle-Hagen

Please don’t insult my intelligence 

LJ Played one of the GREATEST Quarters in a GF of all time

The Dogs should throw in Schache, we're running low on marking bags

Lobb is 30 before next season. Wouldn't logic tell you he's coming in to fill the gap while Jamarra and Darcy develop? No guarantee Darcy will end up a forward anyway.

And that's ignoring  the fact your trade s extremely lopsided and the Dogs wouldn't do it in a million years.

No he didn’t.

Agree. He played a good 5 minutes (which of course will be forever apppreciated).

Id argue that Gus was our best player during the 2nd & 3rd quarters. He was immense those 2 quarters, never dropped his head.

Hagen is a no 1 draft pick who hadn't played footy for 2 years before he was drafted.  He will be fine.

I want Jacko to stay to,  which is why this is a hypothetical.

It was a good patch,  but i still think Vineys hand in that quarter was just as good.

They have already said Darcy is going to play forward.  Even if he is a stop gap,  ya recon Ugle-Hagen is gonna play in the two's for another 3 years.  It's just an opportunity to get a good young fwd.  Like I said in the original post,  picks will be different but futures and stuff will come into it.  Too hard to do that

LJ had a direct hand in one of our 7 goals by way of a beautiful clearance to Oliver. Every other goal was manufactured by others.

Gus, Oliver, Fritta, Viney and Trac were epic in that quarter and it does my head in when people claim that we wouldn’t have won the GF without Jackson. It does a total disservice to his teammates.

And Viney,  who had a hand in all those goals from centre clearances

Jackson changed the entire momentum of the game. Yes Viney was huge as well, but it was Jackson who denied The Bulldogs any touches of the Ball when he went into the Ruck so that we had total Domination 

Ugle-Hagen has done nothing, regardless of what Luke Darcy keeps saying

No he didn't, and even the players and goodwin say it was viney's stoppage work that set up harms that swung momentum.

Even those goals at the end, Jackson lost both those taps and viney got both the clearances. 

Not too many 20yo key fwds have done much at thise stage of their career.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
