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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’sĀ 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
