If Kozzie stays with us, I wouldn’t think we would be chasing him, given our last list changes.

If Kozzie goes, I would think our Port targets would be Rozee and Butters, though they might be ungettable.

Good news would be a Kozzie multi year contract extension.

Dunno. Good tall forwards are tough to find

DD 

I amazes me we have JVR ready to debut and MJ starting on his training wheels plus Tmac BBB, the resting rucks Petty and Adams who has played forward and the Schache about to erupt at his new Club.

oh and Fritta best medium forward in the game. 50 goals plus every year. 

Why do we need another tall forward???

So for tall fwds we have 2 kids that have never played, 2 injury prone old blokes and Schache who couldn’t secure a fwd spot in 8 years at the dogs. Oh and 2 rucks who arent fwds

in 2022 lack of tall forwards was our biggest issue. 

im hopeful JVR will be a player but we can’t hang out hopes on a kid. And I’m hopeful T Mac can get his body right. But a quality fwd in his early 20’s wound be a good get

Fully agree DD. With JVR I suspect only one of BB and TMac will play consistently and with Schache back it provides the opportunity for Petty to permanently move forward. By the end of 2023 there may not be room for TMac and BB in the side, although both could go on for another couple of years if they are fit.

Another option, but not my preferred one is Petty forward and JVR back.

 

Can't imagine we would be able to afford him.

But really rate him,has all the attributes to be a very good player.  If we could somehow get him(trading kossie not an option) that would be great!

Rozee has a strong MFC family connection.... would have been good to get him from the start.

(Not that the family thing helped with landing Prestia... although we were a dogs breakfast then)

JVR does not need to go back IMO with Turner Jed Adams developing Tommo available and fitter this year after his first year following ACL  And Tmac could extend his career by going back IMO. Also Schache might grab the spot.

What's his MFC connection?

His extended family, who will remain anonymous here, have been long suffering Demon people. Sitting in the same seats on level 1 on the wing of the Olympic stand for as long as I can remember…. that’s all you’ll get from me on this one.

Currently toiling away from the SANFL after starting his career off well. Kicked 32 goals in just his second AFL season. Talls are he'll be assessing his options at years end with a few Vic clubs interested.

He's 191cm tall forward who plays more of 3rd option.

Everyone remembers our significant interest in the 2020 draft where we were hoping he'd slip to our second pick (Trent Rivers pick).

Would have preferred Finlayson when he was available

always kicks goals and presents

Was never going anywhere but SA for very important family reasons. So irrelevant.

If our next three years are Gawn, Fritsch, and JVR in the forward line. I am trying to think what we need to compliment that. To me, Brown is perfect for this year because he is a lead up tall who can cause a contest. Move it quick and he will kick a few.

Georgiades is similar to that while not being that big body (9cms shorter than BBB). 

Keep an iron in the fire but our options open.

OOC this year.

If he leaves Port WCE would be the most likely.  He is from WA and WCE tried to get him as part of the first Rioli deal but was in contract and Port wouldn't trade him.

Great hands but set-shots very iffy. Working with chocco might help in that regard. Not entirely sure we need him given we have Fritsch and JVR and Jefferson showing early promise, but worth discussing for sure.

rpfc - still not sold on Max being included as a tall forward on a permanent / regular basis, but with TMc and BBB looking closer to the end we do have  Jefferson developing OK at Casey, and Shack in similar age demographics as Georgiades.  
I wouldn’t discard interest completely, but not to me a top priority.

Smalls. Kozzy, Chandler and a Papley/Weightman type that can hit the foot of the Gawn and JVR contests. We'll still need the ANBs and Spargos, but that's where we could really excel.

Unless of course, we landed someone like Ben King, leaving Max able to play forward or behind the ball, in tandem with Grundy.

Edited by A F

JVR, Jefferson and Sestan developing, Brown and McDonald both contracted for another year plus Schache showing promising early VFL form.

I think Georgiades is talented, but don't see him as a priority.

 

It would have to be a cheap trade to bring in any player who wasn't going to replace someone in our best 23.

What would they ask for in trade? I'm guessing they would want Freos second rounder and we would offer our second round pick. I'm not sure I would do it and would rather load up on kids this year.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
