    he's no better then what we have currently, plus we don't need our whole team kicking around the body when they are 20m out straight in front. we already have so many issues with accuracy which lost us a flag or two.

    Last year he kicked 49.21 from 21 games, though granted there were probably a few out on the full.

    If he was available for a decent price we would be crazy not to go for him, given we are crying out for a 200cm forward who can average over 2 goals a game. He would also help accelerate JVRs game I think, given he would be the main focal point of the forward line and JVR would play second tall.

    I would rather put that money into jacko and/or kosi.

    plus we have a huge key position player problem, the only one on our list that has a permanent spot in the fwd or back line is turner which is down back. lever and may who in my view are nearly finished as well as tmac who has one more year left in him, petty is solid up fwd and down back but it depends on other players and how they are going. jvr just needs a legend of the club to work with him we have heaps why has this not been done??? mj is completely lost atm, Adams and kentfield we don't know about yet but look somewhat promising, fullerton is just as lost as mj, I also have no clue about Verrall but he has improved a lot this season. oh and we are hopefully bringing in Kalani at the end of the year there is another one. i think some of these lads absolutely have it in them but we have no idea where to play them and they just need a crack at it to see.

    McKay is also the 2nd highest rated 2nd ruck only behind Blitzavs (Champion Data).

    Harry turns 28 at the end of this year. LJ turns 24 in September.

    If we're going to pay a second ruck $1mill, I'd rather it be LJ who is younger and a better ruck, who will one day be a permanent ruck.

    That said, I think $1mill is too much to pay for a ruck.

    He will not be a second ruck for long Adam

    Thing is, are some suggesting we get him in as (almost) a like for like replacement for Max (in terms of impact / dominating the match)?

    I doubt there is anyone that can do that at present including LJ. On his best days yes, he is probably very influential and effective. But for mine he still does a bit too much picking and choosing when he brings that.

    If it's not so much about LJ then, do we just get the best available ruck around and spend the rest of our tickets on getting a brute KF that can add a few extra goals to the score alot of the time and help lock the ball i50 more often?

    $1 mill, because he's more than a ruckman, but I think you'll find Max has taken unders to keep this group together.

    He could swap teams & positions with his identical twin. Could be a win / win and nobody would be any the wiser.

    Jackson will offer us more as well but I agree, let’s not overpay

    right, so baggers have no 1st rounder in 2025

    ship mckay to the bloods for theirs?

    Correct, no 1st rounder for this year's draft but the Blues could pick up Harry Dean (son of two time Premiership player, Peter Dean) and he is a possible late 1st rounder for the 2025 draft. He was selected yesterday in the Vic Country squad alongside fellow Carlton Father-Son prospect for 2026, Cody Walker.

    Would rather we put work into getting a key back, such as Leek Aleer

    Why ? It’s clear a KPF is still a greater game changer.

    Reliance upon an inconclusive member, by Carltons bog standard results, is virtual suicide.

    McKay is certainly not flawless

    but he did kick 49.21 last year.

    obviously the price needs to be right but to dismiss him out of hand is ridiculous

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • 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.
