Is a Naughton that bad of a kick for goal? He has a history kicking a lot of goals in a season.

He has some shocking misses but gets so many opportunities that he usually makes up for it - I’d trade for him in a heartbeatĀ 

Would love to see him play almost a similar role to TMac in 2021 - taking big grabs up on the wings and delivering to our forwards advantageĀ

Jack Darling’s resume reads: premiership player, All Australian, 5 time club leading goalkicker and Eagles life member. Has played 20+ games for year. Ā Contract expires end 2024.Ā 

31 yo. 510 goals. 1300 marks.Ā 

Sure age is a factor. But whilst we are in the premiership window and having key forwards still developing, is he worthy of a phone call? Ā Just a thought  …just an opinion Ā Ā

What are your thoughts on Tyler Keitel for some added depth?

From the WAFL, 2023 leading goal kicker (57 goals from 18 games), age 27, 196 cm, 91 kg, ready to go. Averaged 3.2 goals/game, 5.1 marks, 13.9 disposals.

Has a booming kick on him, marks 55m out and slots them through. Looks like he can take a mark as well.

My only concern is the 27 years of age, however, he appears far far more capable than Schache while Tom McDonald and Ben Brown will 31 years of age next year. Worth a look at, at least from a rookie stand point.

Nup no good, why do we need a strong leading, strong marking player when we will just continually bang it in over his head??

Yep.

We need a KPF tall enough to outmark anyone. Basically a 3metre Peter

Imagine the conspiracy theories if Lynch came to Melbourne

What conspiracy theories?

Harry McKay has gone backwards at 300m/hr. Barely worth a late first rounder. Wouldn’t touch him with a 14ft pole.Ā

Exciting if true. Begs the question though why extend to 2029 and meet other clubs?

Nope, don't need another aged player who is struggling with injuries.

The problem is there isn’t a Tom Lynch hanging round to grab like Richmond did in 2019.

Petty and JVR with an extra pre season is in my mind at least equal to TMAC and BBB. It’s not Buddy and Roughy but it’s enough.Ā 
Ā 

I think our problem is we haven’t replaced Jackson as Grundy wasn’t the answer.Ā 

These two are huge talents but Petty seems very injury prone and Jvr really needs to get his agro under control.Ā  These two firing and unfettered will be awesome but I reckon given the status of the other three you mentioned really means we need two more big fwds. Plus Grundy is moving on as well. Hope we can find some.Ā

What would they want? It’s a first rounder for sure. F1 and a couple of 2s this year?Ā 


Not much point meeting Larkey now. Fake for sure. Pity cos Larkey would be perfect for us

Jefferson’s a 2025 prospect at best.

Need someone, anyone to bridge the gap between the 2 main guys and Schache and the broken old fellasĀ 

Joel Smith says hello. Geez he was our best forward in the finals

Good 3rd tall option but hasn’t been healthy enough to count as a reliable depth and could easily be needed at the other end.Ā 

I’d put him down as Melksham replacement but still need at least 2 ready to go options to replace Grundy, BBB and T Mc.Ā 

I reckon Naughton might be our best chance in nabbing a Tall Power Forward out of Contract in 2024, 24 years of age, Dogs desperate for picks.

Been poor this year Naughts are change of scenery with his mates Lachie and big Shaq dog might be what the doctor ordered, times are changing for WB.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
