there's a common theme occurring...

  • jake melksham - second rounder
  • michael hibberd - second rounder
  • ed langdon - second rounder (effectively)
  • brodie grundy - second rounder
  • shane mcadam - second rounder

any others?

 

Melbourne are silly dealing with the grubby Crows club. We'll look desperate .  R2 pick for a  inconsistent injury prone player ?   

Bin it. Move on.

I'll be the judge of that.


Fully fit Fritsch and McAdam could be a nightmare duo to matchup for opposition defences in 2024

I can't see them both in the same team, it's one or the other.  Unless we are planning to only play one Key forward 

Shane may be just the jigsaw piece  needed to complete the forward puzzle. Enigma to some of course but a great western in the tradition of Stand off at the Corvid Corral.

reckon they both play round 1 personally. 

Nice to have a Western Australian who wants to come here!

He's had an interesting career. I didn't realise he only started playing AFL in 2024. His SANFL form in limited games pushed him into AFL contention via mature aged pre draft by Carlton before Adelaide wanted him in the McGovern deal.

He certainly consistently hits the scoreboard. Has some serious athleticism.

I think he will be a great addition with his speed, ability to mark as a medium fwd (186cm) and seems to be clean with the ball.

So we recruit a bloke to play VFL again LOL

Fritsch and McAdam will work well

Oh well, atleast we'll have a half decent Casey side in 24.

Please dont recruit Gunston as well. His career is all but done.

There are no readymade forwards out there coming to us. We can win it as long as our 4 main forwards stay healthy and we send Trac forward when necessary.

I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with!

But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.

 

Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

Closer to the NT and add the fact he had relocated to Adelaide for a few years before getting taken by Carl/Adel

Would be good to land his brother Ash Johnson also

I can see us looking at a small fwd line with both playing.  You would hope with what we have paid he is playing round 1.

I"m sure he will be, but how long it lasts i dunno.  Hopefully I'm eating my words after 20+ games and 40 goals!

We used the F2nd because we have 2 of them and only one F3rd.  It means we can still trade our F1st.

We have 2 future 3rds care of Harmes, no?

(😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...)

To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

Yes, and I hadn’t realised he drives a De Lorien.

Ok please explain why you cannot play both?

Yes you're right, sorry.  I was thinking Fullarton cam for a F3rd.

He will take Melksham's spot until at least well into the year when (hopefully) Melky is over his ACL. When they are all fit and in form will be an interesting selection query...

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
