We might not be able to afford much, but I would be going after Bruhn. He gets so little attention and media but is a very good footballer. Taranto and Hopper will ask too many $, and Bobby Hill  is too inconsistent.

Love Bruhn as a talent but he's had a up & down year with patches where he's looked fantastic and other games where he's been barely sighted. Guess it's expected given his games played & inconsistency of role at the Giants.

Coincidentally has a similar skillset to Cerra who we wanted last year and would cost half the price, but is on the smaller side size wise which we don't tend to like

The end of the ultimate dream team.

Countless early draft picks. Players traded for more draft picks.

Outside mids that dreams are made of. 

Why did they fail... was it just coaching or did their drafting and pursuit of a free flowing style of game not fit the close checking style of play that many teams adopted

Wouldn't mind the younger Green at the right price

If we're going to raid the Giants, Toby Greene please. He can be the exception to our no DH rule

Not interested in anyone else on their list. They all put in when it suits them whereas Toby Greene is consistently brilliant

Or the other Green. I would flip a coin for either.

So he's not the one doing the managing?

A club with no soul.

Had Mark Williams stayed at GWS no doubt they would be a Premiership Club.

Bruhn would be a great pickup. 

Inside/outside. Has better ball use than most of our mids and an upgrade on Harmes, Sparrow, Jordan in terms of quality. 

Hope we have a crack.

Unfortunately I think he's pretty much a done deal to Geelong by the sounds of it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
