Gunston would make sense if we didn't have Fritsch. 

But we do. 

And if people think Gunston would replace Brown or T Mac, they're kidding themselves. Because the bulk of his goals come from marks on leads. And we simply don't have the midfield to provide that. I know that's Ben Brown's wheelhouse as well, but his advantage is his height at 200cm and arm reach to bring ball to ground. Gunston can't do that. Imagine having Fritsch, Gunston and Ben Brown all playing. The ball would be run out of our 50 before you could blink. 

The only way I see it happening is of Goodwin made a complete overhaul of the way we enter our forward 50 and adds players with skill through the midfield as well as on the half forwardline. 

But I also don't see that happening.

    Where has all this Naughton talk come from? Is it just wishful thinking or was there rumors in media or on footy forums? He would compliment our forward line perfectly with his size and aerial ability. If we could turn Jackson into Naughton it would be the biggest coup in recent memory!

    Hallelujah.  Maybe like many he thinks Beverage is a weird grumpy old man.

    Contracted Adelaide defender Fischer McAsey has been touted to join Carlton at season's end, with the Blues looking to bolster their key defensive stocks.

    McAsey, an East Brighton product, is currently signed to the Crows until the end of next year after turning his back on reported interest from Victorian clubs early into last season to re-sign on a two-year deal.

     

    Keen suitors in the 21-year-old would be tempted to ask the question of McAsey given his current placing in Matthew Nicks' pecking order, having not featured at senior level since 2020.

    Pick 6 in 2019 and at 198cm.  Must be a real bust if he cant get a game with the Crows

    With that height and presumably a few pre-seasons, wouldnt be the worst thing we could look at. Were we ever into him last year?

    Just read news clip from leigh Montagna about st kilda trading out some older players to reset their list.

    maybe we could be interested in a few players ie Tim Membrey, Jack Billings or jade Gresham for our forward line

    Membrey maybe fills a need. They will keep Gresham. They have a lot of meh players

    Membrey and Weed will form a very potent forward line at Casey - no doubt about that.

    Sloppy headline on the SEN website today. I'm sure SEN would love it if every player in the competition were to be linked to a trade. It could be talked about endlessly. But the headline is not quite what it seems.

    They'll get good service with Brody Grundy in the ruck.

    We could build a dynasty at Casey with some of those names.

    you'd think, considering that their only genuine star is their captain, that there's not gonna be any stars on the trading block

    I'd take Membrey in a heartbeat. Good finisher and hard worker. Would fit our system perfectly.

    They are the the epitome of a club with either crucial key pieces or deadweight. No trade bait.

    If (when) Jackson leaves, I'd be keen on Rowan Marshall.  However, he's recently re-signed for a few more years.

    Talked to someone I believe today, and they said a few interesting things, coming from a Pies perspective. Firstly, they didn’t think Dogga was that good. Said he was ok. Secondly, they thought Grundy would be worth at least a 1st rounder, mostly because of the salary he is on. Also said if Dogga was worth 2 1sts and I was saying I didn’t think Grundy was worth one 1st, that wasn’t realistic. I talked about it being a salary dump & he agreed the Pies would be paying $ for him to move (& he grumbled about Treloar). But he still remained firm about the 1st rounder. Hopefully he is wrong, wouldn’t want to give up a first for Grundy!

    I don't believe Grundys trade value is in any way connected to his salary, when a club is offering to pay 1/3 of his salary for 5 years they can't demand much in a trade, essentially we're doing them a favor. 

    they need Grundy to go to sign their other targets and re-shape the list the way Fly wants, i reckon a second rounder gets it done

    if we end up with two firsts for dog, plus extras, i can completely understand one of them being moved for grundy

    I made the same argument about a second rounder, but he wasn’t having any of it. He did mention wanting the money to go after one of the GWS mids though, can’t remember who it was though

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
