If you could choose one player from a rival club to add to your AFL list, who would it be?

 
Christian Petracca (3)
 
Clayton Oliver (2)
 
Luke Jackson (1)
 
Max King (3)
 
Jordan De Goey (1)
 
Darcy Moore (1)
 
Aaron Naughton (1)
 
Dustin Martin (1)
 
No answer (3)
 
"Oliver and Petracca were the only two players nominated who finished in the top 10 of last year’s Brownlow Medal count, with stars such as Carlton’s Charlie Curnow, Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh, the Brisbane Lions’ Lachie Neale, the Bulldogs’ Marcus Bontempelli, Geelong’s Tom Stewart and Fremantle’s Andrew Brayshaw overlooked."

    ..... and they may well reconsider that selection in view of recent events!

    In that list with the 2 Melbourne players taken out it would be Max King by a mile.

    De Gropey? Hahaha, clearly from the same people who used to nominate Cameron Ling as most attractive player in the AFL back in ‘the day’.

    Max King all the way, however I reckon Clarry has been short-changed hard here.

    I wonder who are in our wish list at the moment, thinking of next season and beyond. Surely a key Full Forward.

    I'm assuming "bosses" means Presidents, but who would Kate have chosen from a rival club?

    I would think Max King or Aaron Naughton.

     

    I think you'll find it was club CEOs. The Age has been drip feeding results of its survey with club CEOs over the last few days.

    I'm curious as to why a club CEO would want to add Dustin Martin. Five years ago I suspect he would have been the dominant choice, but now he's too close to the end of what has been a wonderful career.

    Anyone else think Clarry is worth 1 Million a year over 7 years for his next contract in 2024?

    Yes

    Take the gun tall forward every time. The rarest position to find a gun, yet a gun tall forward can completely change a teams fortunes. Max King is 21 years old and on track for 50+ goals already. Easy decision to pick him and build around him for the next decade.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
