I must admit I was sceptical on chasing him as he plays similar to Fritta, but if Fritta and Melk can play well together in the coming weeks it’s prob not a bad option for a Grundy trade, but I’d also be loathe to give port a better ruckman.

    Averaging over a goal a game at this stage in his career is ntb but is inaccurate, and as said he aint tall.

    Melbourne were very keen on him in his Draft year but missed out. I would think this is the play if Grundy is going to Port.

    He is a lesser version of Fritter in my view and we don't need him. My preference is for a power forward We can get a 4 mark 1 goal a game player anywhere

    Not saying he's a champion or anything but he is 1cm shorter than JVR and 6cm taller than Melksham who I see as the closest proxy in our current forward set up

    I'd rather us go Rozee or Butters, but I understand we're interested. Depends what we give up.

    2 Fritters would be totally fine with me

    They're not the same anyway, as Georgiades is far more of a lead mark player, getting up on the wings while Fritter is closer to goal.

    There is no way we acquire these players

    I suspect the Eagles will offer overs. His non signing at Port is reportedly down to $$ and not being guaranteed a best 22 spot pre-injury.

    Tread with care is my conclusion

    Time to claim the so called premiership discount that the power clubs had in the past

    I think this would be a great option.  This kid has shown plenty in his restricted career.  Port have not played him correctly either.

    Straight swap for Grundy would be a fair trade IMO.

    A whole thread about a very average player

    So Demonland

    Couldn't regularly make the Port side pre injury and wants good dollars plus 4 year deal.

    As I said above... tread carefully

    Upside is that he is 21 and being a first rounder suggests he had ability.

    Has he had a 3 goal / high possession game. How did he go in the SANFL pre injury

    How so ?

    My interest in Georgiades is piqued by the reports that Jason Taylor was very keen on him in his draft year.

    Maybe he hasn't developed as expected.  Maybe he never will.  Maybe he will blossom at Melbourne.

    He has never been the second tall,  has always played alongside 2 other talls and they all get in each others way.

    He would be a great second tall for us with Fritter being that versatile 3rd

    Maybe - is he better than either of Petty or Joel Smith?

    Will Jefferson be better in 2 years?

    If we were talking about Larkey, McKay, Lynch or Allen I can see the appeal and clear point of difference of the taller player but for Georgiades I'm not so sure. 

    Ultimately, I suppose it comes down to cost - if he isn't costing the earth then maybe worth a punt. He does have good hands I will give him that.

    Oh i agree with those other players but they aren't on the table.  If i Could choose one, Allen!! he is perfect, gun key forward and can to the ruck pinch hitting too.

    That's the only issue, if we do go for a young key fwd and Jefferson does come on we will lose one.

    In terms of Petty and Smith, yes!  Much better than Smith and Petty had been great hole filler but i do think he will settle in defence, especially once May retires

    Good player. Great hands. iffy set shot. He was dropped at the start of the year. Not sure whether due to form or attitude. not good either way. then got a bad injury. 

    I don't think he's quite what we want. I'm thinking another key to play alongside JVR. He plays more as the third which is Fritschs role now.

    I see a lot of ‘we need a big key forward’, but not a lot of available names in this thread.

    There’s what you want, and then there’s what you can get.

    In theory, I love the idea of a very mobile and dangerous forward line of JVR, Fritta and Georgiades. Even better if we could get Watson in the draft to pair with Kozzie.

    However, I don’t think the combination carries enough size for our defensive game plan. None are big enough to sit under high ball’s for an entire year, they’d be cooked before finals

    I have maybe seen Georgiadis in 2 games so have never really noticed him if I'm honest, but if this is anything to go by, he's doing pretty well after 49 games?

    After 49 games the following had: 

    Gunstan - 86 goals

    Hipwood - 73 goals

    Jamie Elliot - 66 goals

    Georgiadis - 65 goals

    Jack Reiwoldt - 62 goals

    Charlie Curnow -  60 goals

    Fritsch -  41 goals

    Only 21 years old, effectively same amount of goals as Jamie Elliot, more goals than Reiwoldt, Curnow and Fritsch at the same time. 

    Seems to be more upsides than down?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
