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.

    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?

    • 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.
