Regardless of who is better (Naughton by a long way), two of them is better than one. 

 

I think Frittata has a better set shot, he looks a more accurate kick than Naughton.

Them both have different skill sets so you can't really compare them.

    Amon is exactly what we need, Jordan is a really good role player on the wing, but i actually think we're missing his hands inside, and Amons speed and kicking combination is something we really lack. 

    All a bit hypothetical as he’ll probably land at the Hawks but I actually think we’d keep JJ in his current wing role and use Amon on ball, rotating forward and perhaps as the 3rd winger. 

    We need more kicking skills and run from the on ball brigade than we do from the wings. 

    Ie. the role Brayshaw has played the last two weeks but Amon actually has the ability to hit a target.

    His kicking motion is more fluid, I would agree there. Naughton's can be fixed over time I reckon.

    I'm pretty sure Brayshaw has been one of our better kicks this season. I mean maybe not for you dee spencer, but for some its pretty tough to hit a target with three people half a second away from tackling you.

    Basically saying he is playing well since coming in. Has done jobs as a defensive forward. Wants to get another deal and could look elsewhere. Melbourne waiting for end of season to decode.

    No. Doesn’t really mention specific suitors. More just says port want to lock him away and he appears to be happy in SA. 

    He’s one I think we should be looking at. We were keen at the draft I believe.

    The heading is misleading: "Milkshake May get new deal."

    Demonland petition, obviously we're relying on breathtaking incompetence from the Kangaroos list management, but given they all quit i think we might be alright

    I don’t think he plays the role we need. He seems more the 3rd tall type.

    I can see clubs chasing Tomlinson and Bedford . Personally we have a lot of small forwards , one player will go. Tomlinson is finding it hard to break into the back six , ideally we should have tried him as a forward. BB and Weid are not up to it .

    On the subject of Naughton will cost too much and he lacks consistency.

     

    Naughton is 22!!!

    Naughton is a star and would suit our system perfectly.

    I hope it's more than a mere pipe dream.

    Just quoting a section of the article...
     
    Milkshake May get new deal
     
    Jake Melksham, the Demon at the centre of a mid-year stoush with Steven May, is mounting a solid case for a fresh deal after adapting to a new forward role in the past month.
     
    While Melbourne is likely to wait until the end of their 2022 campaign before deciding whether to recommit to the 30-year-old, Melksham’s role of locking down on opposition defenders in recent weeks has increased his chances of playing on in 2023.
    In the absence of an injured Tom McDonald, Melksham has not only worked his way back into the Demons’ AFL side, he has also kicked 5.5 across his past four games.
     
    Importantly, he has played a selfless role in trying to limit the impact of rebounding defenders including Collingwood’s Darcy Moore and Port Adelaide’s Aliir Aliir since his AFL return in Round 18.
     
    It is understood Melksham, who is out of contract this year, is keen to stay with the Demons.
     
    But he would consider his options at a third club if the club choses to go in a different direction.
     
    Melksham was thrust into the limelight in June after it emerged he had scuffled with May at Entrecote restaurant, resulting in hand surgery that cost him time on the sidelines.
     
    The Demons banned May for one-match and ordered community service work for May and Melksham – who is believed to have come to the support of teammates – after the incident.
     
    Melksham missed out on last year’s premiership success, but is working hard to stay in the Demons’ team as they chase back-to-back flags next month.

    Wouldn't be surprised if this one waits until after the trade period.

    It's looking like we're going to be active this year and could be some player movement with the Jackson/Grundy and maybe Karl Amon.

    Also says in the article Hibberd is yet to be offered a contract, Hunt expected to re-sign, and club has told Bedford he'll get lots more opportunity in the next few years (which is intriguing to me tbh).

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
