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.

    • 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.
