Then we have Reid. 

Don’t think we will get Darling. Why would he leave?

Agreed, we won't get or want Darling.

    I think we'll be able to find a spot for him in our forward half just quietly.

    McVee May Lever

    Salem Tomlinson Rivers

    Langdon Oliver Hunter 

    Petracca Petty Fritsch 

    Pickett JVR Reid

    Gawn Viney Sparrow

    Brayshaw Neal-Bullen McAdam Bowey

    Smith or Howes for sub.

    Chandler misses out.

    2 drafts since the 21 flag, which trade deals have improved our list?

    2021- Dunstan x 5 games retired 

    2022-  Grundy gone,  Schache x 2 games , Hunter only player getting a regular game…

    How has our list improved comparing  this to Collingwood & Brisbane??

    What do these players all have in common?

    None finished in the top 10 of the bluey.

    Hold on that's not the case.

    Having finished 9th last season, Nibbla finished 6th this season.

    You may be right, but here's a more complete picture that includes young players who seem to have a future

    21

    Jacob van Rooyen

    Blake Howes

    Taj Woewodin

    22

    Jud McVee

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield

    Schache and Dunstan were never more than depth. Look at the price paid.

    Grundy rucked alone, while Max was injured and it was more Max who failed than Grundy. Grundy was meant to ruck more with Max forward and because Max couldn’t play forward, they wanted Grundy to. That wasn’t the intent of getting him. We got back what we paid, it was 1 year and we move on.

    Plenty of clubs bring in players who don’t consistently make their side. Often they are depth players.

    We certainly have had recent success trading which led to a flag, getting Langdon, May, Lever, BBB, Hibberd and Melksham as examples.

    Likewise not every draftee will be successful.

    It is par for the course, hits and misses. The big hope is that the misses aren’t expensive.

    If you ever want an example of the media BS that is spouted.

    Fox Sports headline about Hawks landing a “star”.

    The star is Chol who struggled to make the Suns side.

    Really, Chol a star?

    Agree our  trades prior to 2021 flag were  great but last 2 seasons have bee misses , let’s hope 2023 brings in talent

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
