Could we be bold and make a play for Logan McDonald who has just been dropped for a GF?

Another WA boy,  but might be a vulnerable time to strike??

    I think that's because he's mates with Kossie. Would make a dynamic duo with him.

    Mornington is way more expensive than Frankston

    20 years old, re-signed a few months back, dropped for one game (albeit a Grand Final)... Not gonna happen.

    My niece was at a pub in Hawthorn last week and several footballers walked in - she's a mad Pies' fan, but recognised Clarry, Bowey, Ginny, Bianco, Brown and a few others. Just having a few quiet ones...

    Having Jack Bowes and Jake Bowey in our 22 will be a fun tongue-twister for @binman on the @Demonland podcast! Maybe we could even ask for David Swallow to be thrown in?

    He'll probably end up living in Glen Waverley, or is that Mount Waverley?

    Henry would be worth a try, if he came cheap. Also might help Kozzie stay (good mates)

    That forward half with the addition of ANB, Chandler and/or Ben Brown is getting more dangerous.

    How about Mornington Peninsula vs Geelong & Bellarine Peninsula!

    I'm still thinking you get a slightly larger home maybe even suburb in Moggs Creek (or 30 mins from Geelong) vs what you get in Melbourne for the same money!

    Cats definitely have a salary cap advantage, and I'm standing behind my convictions!!

    Logan McDonald or Hayden McLean - either be great, and fills a need

    He got dropped because he didn’t touch it for a half and hasn’t looked any good apart from when he played on Tomlinson and Lever.

    The Swans are developing him slowly and he’ll be ok, but he’s not really the answer. Reckon he might come in to the 22 still as well. Not sure Reid’s across the line either

    Or Larkey at North if Clarkson can't disentangle himself from the Hawks racism report. Will throw North back into chaos which we should try to take advantage of (i know. I'm a horrible person)

    I blame the game plan not Jordan. I observe players across the team doing the same thing, so it must be coaches instructions. I thought that was the central problem in our loss to the swans in the finals. 

    I agree. 

    Eddie Langdon’s bounce totals took a massive dive this year, he clearly wasn’t running it nearly as much either.

    Theres 2 big factors:
    1. No bounce off half back. The winger should get the ball via hands or in so much space they have to take it on.

    2. No Tom McDonald at chf hitting up.

    Not to say that JJ doesn’t have to improve. You can’t be as risk adverse as he was this year. But he was a product of a slow system.

    JJ’s run and link by hand was very strong in 2021. He’d often be involved multiple times in the same chain.

    Tomlinson did a medical at the Bulldogs according to Mark Stevens.

    With salary dumping all the rage at the moment, it will be interesting to see how this plays out if he does move. Do we pay the dogs with a later pick to take his full salary on? Is it that much of a burden that we would give up draft capital? Or do we pay 100-200k of his contract and get a token 3rd or 4th round pick? Or given the dearth of Key Defenders on the market and that he's contracted, do we drive a hard bargain and try and extract a 2nd round pick from the dogs?

    Our key defender depth will be whittled down to Turner and Joel Smith in the absence of any replacements which has me concerned.

    Great fit for the Doggies. Fingers crossed this happens for all involved.

    1. Demons get salary cap space and no doubt an extra third round pick.

    2. Bulldogs get a KPD that they desperately need.

    3. Tomlinson gets a chance to be best 22 in a team who will challenge.

    Perhaps bulldogs pick 37. Lobb will most likely require their 2nd round pick, 29, and their next one is a pick in the 60s. Futures obviously an option as well.

    I still don’t see how Tomlinson has any positive trade value. He was that bad this year and even his Casey play looked so limited (output was good but it didn’t look good) that I think it will cost a pick to move him.

    Just thinking out loud here but does a Tomlinson for Josh Bruce straight swap make sense? 

    We don’t need Tomlinson. Dogs don’t need Bruce. Neither of them recovered well from ACL’s last year. Both might turn it around with a fresh start.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
