    I really don’t rate him. I watched a lot of the Hawks this year, both at VFL and AFL level Koschitzke is just that little bit off. NQR. I don’t think we’ve missed out there.

    Mitchell Lewis on the other hand is a dead set gun…

    Ah well there you go. Not too bummed we got Fullerton then, who will at least have some upside in the ruck.

    Haha damn straight! Is he available!? 🤣

    He has never really done anything.  He reminds me of Weed.  Looks like a footballer but doesn’t play like one

    Hawthorn appear to be accumulating more NQR tat than the bargain basement at Dimmeys.

    If we can go into the draft with pick 6, 11, McAdam, Fullarton, Billings and a backup ruck like Lycett we’ll have done incredibly well.
    Billings as wing depth, two potential ruck options should Gawny get sore or need a rest and some x-factor for the forwardline. That ticks all our boxes.
    Not to mention some potential gun mids or a move for one exceptional talent. Go Dees!

    Indeed.

    We used a 2nd and two 3rds to bring in Fullerton, Billings and McAdam. 

    Lost Jordan, Harmes and Grundy: depth or surplus to needs. Hibberd, Dunstan retired.

    And we have 6 and 11 to use in the draft

    I think that's a good outcome

    Essentially we've swapped Grundy for Fullarton/McAdam and Harmes for Billings. If we finish higher on the ladder than Sydney and Bulldogs then we've also upgraded our future 2nd and 3rd round picks in the process.

    We’ve done ok and better than most clubs but unless you can hand a big fish through free agency it’s hard to get too excited.

    That said, I’ll get excited if we convince WC to part with pick 1.

    + 500k I'd say overall

    I mean it’s a tough sell to say we did.  We have lost an AA ruck who if nothing else was brilliant cover when Max went down and probably contributed to Max finishing the season in better shape(even with his toe) than the year before. 
    JJ & Harmes out for McAdam and Billing’s. Time will tell on those I suppose  but saints aren’t as good as us and they were willing to pay part of his wages to get him out the door. 
    Improved pick 14 to pick 11 and paid a hefty price to do so but given JT sees merit in doing so you’d have to back him. 
    Put it another way- do you think our list is better or worse than this time last year?

    Lycett and other delisted rucks and State league rucks, will be around if we want to Rookie one, as further backup for a year or so for Max.

    I suppose it depends on where Verall is at and if he, Fullarton and Schache are sufficient, if Max is injured.

    Appreciate the response but wasn't ment to be a serious question. We've done ok but who knows how the future will pan out.

     

    We're definitely going to win the draft though :cool:

    Yeah think we need to snag a lycett or hayes as a delisted free agent. Surely ine of them is about to be cut with port picki g up 2 rucks in the trade period

    First time I've really listened to trade talk, and yes I think Lamb did a very good job this year improving our position. Maybe we could of done better, maybe not.  Hopefully there is still more talk to be had before we go to the draft, but if things stay as is I'm pretty happy with #6, and #11.

    Lamb stoked with the addition of Billings. McAdam and Fullarton, all in all a real focus on addressing needs forward of centre. Now the draft.

    Sounds to me like Petty and his manager got thrown an opportunity and took it as a chance to bring stuff to the table with Melbourne. 

    We might need to pander to him a little to try and convince him to stay longer term.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
