We have the picks 

We have the goal kicking coach

Perhaps Haroldo would prefer life out of the Carlton spotlight...

    Give Carlton a second and they can pay 150k of his salary up to 2030.

    The most important thing is cap space. I'm pretty sure we don't have much to lure anyone? Unless we lose some players (Jordon, Harmes, another) and find another club to take the last year of the contract of Tmac or BBB ?

    Although I'm just guessing.

    Did he not just sign like an 8 year contract extension until 2030?

    Yep. Don’t let that get in the way of the discussion though 😜

    We tried to get him and missed our chance. His contract is too big for us to take on now. We’ll need to look elsewhere or just continue to develop JVR and Jefferson.

    Chocco would fix him up in a heart beat.

    He would thrive at the Dees, they are a mess down there.

    Persoanlly think if we got him, with what Choco has done and a change in scenery he would be kicking bags but he is just too expensive and we would be put in a situation like the Pies. We would need Carton to pay more than they would be willing to,

    He’s next to useless, hearts the size of a dried pea.

    No thanks, Choco might fix the kicking but he's not a heart surgeon. Harry looks like he's playing to preserve himself.

    Incredible that he simply can't kick a drop punt for a goal.

    I think there’s only three forwards in the game that would be useful to us, Jeremy Cameron, Toby Greene and Rankine.

    Not sure anyone else has the tricks to work in our stifling setup.

    *on the assumption we still have Kozzie and Fritta

    Curnow.

    He's an absolute star forward who doesn't get enough credit especially as he is surrounded by poor individuals. 

    Would happily pay him a mil a year.

    Well down this year though. Bereft of confidence. His goal attempts last night were horrendous.

    But he kicked 58 in 21 and 45 last year. He's a very good player and would fill a gaping hole for us. And there aren;t many options out there. Chocco will set him right.

    Carlton need to shake-up their list and I reckon McKay could be sacrificed to bring in picks. He might just be gettable. 

    Curnow is obviously the better player but he is ungettable. The hoards would burn down Ikon Park if he was traded.

    True.

    He would suit us well getting up the ground

    1. Choco will fix him

    2. Our midfield will provide much better delivery to him

    3. Carlton will be desperate to get rid of him and will pay half his wage

    4. JVR and Jefferson will take a few years to hit top gear

    5. BBB and TMac clearly on the way out

    All adds up to a strong YES

    He is also dropping a lot of marks.

    It’s probably just a form slump, but it does highlight the dangers of long contracts at big money, if you get them wrong, it can stuff up your list.

    100%. He can be a stay at home gun, or a running Centre Half Forward. If he was in our forward line we’d win the flag for the next 5 years.

    Mckay. No no no

    I would be searching for a Mitch Lewis. Best young forward in the league right now (second only to Curnow imv) 

    Gotta find another like him 


    Lewis was drafted by Hawthorn with their second selection and seventy-sixth overall in the 2016 AFL draft.

    Not so sure about point 2.  
    Or the second part of 3.

    But yes, if the price is right and we get a sports psychologist to screen him first.  Not if he costs us players or too much cap space.

    We already took on one stupid long term contract.

    Stop searching for the magic bullet unrealistic marquee forward.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
