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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
