Need to see Chandler in the seniors.

Very good balance between attack and defence 

In his game. I would have him in rather than melksham

 

Agree has a lot more penetration in his kicking and can kick goals compared to anb and spargo 

Potentially could go to a higher level than them two as well just needs an opportunity

    So with Jackson requesting a trade it's looking highly likely we will land Grundy. From there we will have to delist Baker and Rosman for 2 live selections in the draft. Taking into account we also have to upgrade Chandler to the seniors list so we'll most likely have to trade (Bedford or Hunt) or delist one of Melksham or Hibberd to have another pick in the draft.

    I think Melksham only survives if one of Bedford or Hunt go. But I doubt it would be the latter as I feel Hunt is priming himself to take over Hibberd's role after he retires in 2023, if he decides to play on next year which i think most of us feel. 

    With Daw retiring and most likely M.Brown cut and Chandler elevated we could have 3 rookie spots open. This could open the door for us re-rookie Rosman and even cut Melksham off the primary list and re-rookie him if he wants to have one last tilt at a flag next year. 

    So our changes could be 

    IN: Grundy, 2 live draft picks (Freo first rounder and Brisbane first rounder... i'll get to that) and Chandler upgrade for late pick. 

    OUT: Jackson, pick 34 (for Grundy), Baker, Rosman and Melksham delisted from the senior list with the latter two being re-rookied. 

    We also have a plethora of mid-late picks this year which I hope we can offer to Brisbane to nab their first round selection as they need points to land F/S Ashcroft. We'll also have a second first rounder from Freo next year including our own. So we'll be primed to have a red hot crack next year in what is said to be a bumper draft. 

    Hunt, Hibberd and Bedford will hopefully all be re-signed. 

     

    Goody will not sanction the delisting of Melk and then Rookie him, it just will not happen.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
