If I was Sydney I’d tell Buddy to go.

You've got Amartey and Logan McDonald plus another 1-2 years out of Reid. 

Buddy has already made 10 million plus from footy, but clearly that’s not enough. So along with his wife tell the club he wants more money, than he’s leaving, now makes out he’s the bigger man and is putting talks on hold. Comical at best. Id be using the money to secure all of their young talent. As good as Buddy has been it’s time to move on.

    2023 Dee’s forward line 

     

    Koz.          Naughton / Larkey (either one).   ANB

    Fritsch.           J.Kennedy.      Spargo 

     

    Emerg:   TMac, BB, JVR (replace JK in 2024)

    This is unbelievably awful.

    Would not say no to Larkey at all but i reckon we have diddley squat chance of getting him if Norf pull off the coup of getting Clarkson.

    In saying that if he wants to play finals and we place a nice contract in front of him he might be tempted.

    We definitely need a Key Forward that is not injury prone and is entering his peak, everything Weed was suppose to be.

    WCE cant trade their first pick coz they havent used two in a four year cycle

    What they can do is pick 1 or 2 plus second rnd pick to Dogs for dogs first round pick.

    I think the rule is they have to have a first round pick

    The dogs may look at this not sure if he is a rfa next year, if he is maybe a other early pick for the dogs to add to there FS, NGA picks over last 2 Drafts.

    Cane Cornes saying Melb should be trying to drag Kennedy out of retirement isn't crazy.

    2 years, one with coaching involved.  Tell him we will manage him throughout the year and aim for about 10 games.

    it's pretty crazy and wont happen, but I'm not against it.  could be a handy coach to get in too.

    Gee 10 games? 

    I guess it still beats 10 games of having nothing.

    If Josh Kennedy didn't want to retire, he'd still be playing at West Coast.  Can't see him coming to Melbourne.

    My wife’s convinced that she heard the commentary team mention something about Naughton leaving during the Dogs Dockers game yesterday. I missed it and it was well before I read @chook fowler’s post.

    He’d certainly improve our forward line in multiple areas. Naughton’s contested marking is much publicised, but he is mobile and good with fwd pressure as well. Could the Dogs afford to lose him with JUH & Darcy being the part of the future fwd line?

    It would seem lobb is heading their way too.

    I assume they have a third tall, second ruck role in mind for him.

    But if naughton stays they will have a surfeit of talss many tall forwards - Darcy (though played back in his first game) naughton, Lobb, Bruce and JUH.

    They need a gun defender. Perhaps naughton is worried they'll send him back.

    Did Naughton start as a back? I can't remember if WB started him in the backline and then out of necessity he was moved forward.

    Dogs are weak in defence and I personally can't see them really challenging until they sort that out 

    They have plenty in reserve at the front end it seems so maybe a Naughton move if they can get a key defender in is not so impossible to contemplate

    He would be the perfect fit for us

    dogs will have jones, keath, and darcy as key defenders and naughton, lobb, and juh as key forwards in 2023

    perhaps we should be throwing our hat in for bruce, as he always destroys us*

    *actually, doesn't

    Kennedy is cooked, body can’t handle AFL football demands anymore just getting up for games has been a big issue for the last 2 seasons.

    Will make a few cameo appearances in the next couple of years for Cervantes and Northampton in WA country football

    I wish we had that problem.

    Bruce looks cooked since his return from the ACL. They've used him as a second ruck to English, so he's probably not in their plans long term. A forward line of Lobb, Naughton and JUH is a perfect mix. Each has different qualities.

    And I think they're addressing their KPB issues. Keith and Darcy down back plus Liam Jones, and all of a sudden they look strong in that area.

      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?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
