    But this other player that is leaving is giving you genuine distress.

    This player you can’t remember.

    No matter what happens with Dogga, I’d still be keen to ask the Swans about the availability of Haydn McLean.  Big bodied 197cm Forward/2nd Ruck. Good goalkicker, good mark.  Behind Franklin, McDonald and Reid as a forward. Behind Hickey and Ladhams as a ruck. Would appeal to us and brings physical presence.  

    i really like this, could be a very T-Mac style player, not flashy and plays within his limits and provides a good option.

    Haven't seen a whole lot of him but I do vaguely remember him at Sandy Dragons and he could really clunk a mark!

    before Logan Mcdonald and Amarti, i remember him being a very serviceable player.  if we can get him for bugger all and not pay a lot he would be a great get, and if a young kid passes him well that's what we want too

    What about a nibble at Paddy Dow from Carlton to fatten our midfield depth chart?

    The HUN reporting that Carlton are looking at off loading a former high draft pick for salary space so I can only assume it's him.

    Last year he almost got there as a realised talent but for whatever reason can't get a game this year (that reason being that he's probably not good enough in Voss's eye)

    Finn Callaghan would be a nice addition, has a booming kick. What's his contested marking like? At 192cm he could provide a nice marking option down the wing to help out Max.

    Haven’t really seen him in pack marking situations, but has good hands overhead does pretty well in one v one marking contests. Can play a role forward.

    Bedford I assume. 

    Not a Premiership player, as was quoted in the post.

    I hope we look to top up our list with some veterans who are flag chasing like Goldstein, Cunnington, Boak, Robbie Gray, Breust and/or Gunston. They aren't key forwards but they could be the difference in 2023.

    As much as we need a key forward to replace Ben Brown, he has two more years on his contract and the top key forwards will cost an enormous amount in salary cap space and picks. I think we should be looking at getting another gun small forward either in the draft or trade.

    I would rather Brodie Kemp.

    And he also stated that it was three "good" players. No offence to Bedford, but I hardly think that anyone would classify him as good.

    we want picks.. minimum 2 first rounders. Of course we want a Tall forward, but ideally from Freo we want minimum 2 first round picks this year.

    will we?

    i would've thought we'd want to replace a best 22 player with another or more - dunno if (likely) late first round picks will get the job done

    that said, i could see us getting three first round picks if footscray give up their 2021 first rounder for lobb and flagmantle paying a huge chunk of his 2023 salary

    GIVE: jackson + 2022 second round pick
    GET: footscray 2022, freo 2022 and 2023 first rounders

    from there we'd be in a good position to package one - or two? - of those plus our own 2023 first rounder to get further up in the 2022 draft board

    Difficult to see Tomlinson with us next year. He's too good for VFL.

    Could imagine a team like the Dogs parting with their second rounder for him.

    Our midfield depth is a media myth

    We're too light for rotations (assuming brayshaw never plays in the guts again)

    Our second tier mids in Sparrow and Harmes are among the worst in the comp 

    Rate Jordon but he's a utility sort you can put anywhere and is unlikely to be a starting centebounce midfielder 

    That wouldn't be the same Harmes that set the Deez on the road to glory in the third quarter of last year's Granny would it?

    It's like any player that has had a singular positive impact on grand final is completely untouchable for the rest of their career.. fmd.

    I'm still gobsmacked Steven Armstrong hasn't been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his 2 minute heroic in the 2006 Grand Final.

    Jake riccardi from the giants might be worth a look.

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
