Back on topic, I think he’s come on well this year. Has an x factor. Worth pursuing if the price is right.

    Hopefully another player that Fremantle has low-balled and they’ve decided to leave.  We were very keen but maybe his price has risen too high.

    This, unfortunately he has come on this year. Needed to get him for nothing and then have him improve, now they will want a more than we might be prepared to give.

    If we can all agree that he his back half / wing, how does he fit into the team? Who does he replace?

    I do agree he has speed and good skill, I have yet to see him carve up teams like B.Hill, Milera (Saints and Adelaide), Coleman/Mckenna (Lions) with his kicking skills and ball movement ability though. 

    Happy to add him to the team as a prospect, but not with a round 1 pick as Freo will undoubtedly want. Maybe our late 2nd rounder and a future 3rd for good measure.

    Don't know much about this guy but do remember he was rated as the best small forward in Kozzie's draft.  I remember a friend who goes for Freo saying last year he's got skills but wishes he had some of Kozzie's aggression as he hasn't put it together much at AFL level.  

    Makes me think of where Bedford was up to last year - he'd played a number of games and showed a lot of upside.  To me he wasn't able to settle and ended up not making the most of his disposals in most games (which is not uncommon for young players finding their feet).  But look where he is now!

    Is Henry one pre-season away from taking a big step?

    Probably would've been interested this time last year but we grabbed lachie hunter for that wing spot and also have blake howes in waiting who needs to get a run at it next year. Have never seen Liam Henry play a good game as a small forward so no wonder we lost interest

    Maybe a straight swap with Brockman, who wants to return home.

    Karl Amon says hi.

    Was in reference to the Hawks racism accusations, Amon was recruited before that came out

    The allegations were made as part of an external review commissioned by the club, and were made public by the ABC on 20 September 2022. An AFL investigation was triggered, and ran until May 2023.

    30 Sept 2022 â€” Hawthorn have signed Port Adelaide wingman Karl Amon to a four-year deal after the AFL free agency period opened on Friday.

    A touch of 'double standards here.  Why would the Dockers be fuming?  I don't recall any angst when LJ sought a trade from us.

    Reminds me of the recent Ashes series...maybe this is all part of an application for British English citizenship?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
