Could we tempt Carlton with our 2 first rounders (really hope Freo tank from here) and a second to trade for McKay? They have holes in their list and those picks could help them address. And they could use McKays salary to pay De Koning

    Yu could probably tempt them even though he is on long term contract.

    Not sure he would be worth it on form though...has some pretty large flaws atm.

    Definitely not playing anything close to value for the 800K figure he is reportedly getting.

    Major headache for Carlton. They have been an interesting watch.

    Is this the De Koning that Sydney are reportedly throwing huge money at for 8 years?

    They all have flaws.

    We're in dire need of a FPF and there aren't many out there. 

    Ben King perhaps. But he has his flaws too.

    This is the thing, someone is likely going to overpay for De Koning due to the lack of options out there. Like the last ice cream in a milk bar on a 40 degree day.

    Tom is clearly going to Sydney - really surprised if that doesnt happen now. It would take a momentous shift and pay-packet to divert his future. We don't have a lot of salary cap either so cannot see us doing much on the trade (forward) front this year.

    Come on @layzie. If it was the last ice cream in the milk bar, you'd buy it for double its face value, grab a tram down Royal Parade, walk into Prince Park and tell 'em it's the last ice cream in the universe. You'd name your price and get a nine year recurring contract payment.

    That seems a high price to pay for a 33 year old Ed Curnow.  

    Revised offer; Love Shack 12'' maxi single and 2 packs of Smiths crisps.

    Someone here who watches all of Carlton's games ... TDK has some potential and shows flashes here and there but really has not shown enough yet to warrant a big contract. Carlton will not match any huge offers (say from Sydney) because frankly he is not worth it.

    As for Harry McKay, yes he currently has issues with his goal kicking but they can be worked on. His play around the ground has been quite good this season, his marking has been great, general field kicking fine, tackles and puts pressure on. He is also surprisingly fast for a tall player.

    He did try a few drop punts against Collingwood last week and did kick two so he may be on his way to fixing his set shot kicking yips.

    Two seasons ago when he won the Coleman he was used close to goals as a classic full forward so most of his goal kicking was from shorter ranges, he is being used differently now that Curnow is back from long term injury.

    Uncontracted at years end. Do we make a play for a talented tall who could perhaps play forward for us?

    No, he isn't very good as a fwd.  he is ok as a ruck but again not that great.

    we have 5 fwds that are as good as him.

    All he needs is to finally have a really good preseason. Are you aware of how long it took Tom Hawkins to come good?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
