Apparently Emerson Jeka was delisted by the Hawks.

He is a 198cm key forward originally from the Western Jets.

Here is the link about it: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1042682/josh-morris-emerson-jeka-fionn-ohara-depart-hawthorn-after-2023-season

Perhaps Emerson Jeka is worth giving a 2nd chance to? However, I don't know much about him.

Ah, no! This is a guy that kicked 0.7 in a VFL game!

Most Hawk supporters know he is nowhere near the standard.

    Jeka has just turned 22, is a maturing big man and yet to reach his potential. 
    He has talent, was chosen at #9 and is worth a close look.

    I've been trying to mentally sort the key forwards (who are even remotely possible acquisitions) into 'expensive gun' and 'quality role-player' types. Figured if I put it down in writing it would reduce my overall level of confusion. So, with an invite to people putting a line through them, adding a question mark, endorsing them, mocking them, or suggesting what they reckno the trade cost would be, here we go;

    Expensive guns;

    Aaron Naugton,     Pick-any King,     Jack Lukosius,     Oscar Allen,     Harry McKay

    Quality role-players or young potential in crowded forward lines;

    Jamarra Ugle-Hagan,     Todd Marshall,     Jake Riccardi,     Darcy Fogarty,     Logan McDonald,

    Hayden McLean,       Riley Thilthorpe,     Ben McKay (switching forward?)


     

    My personal preference from a value-for-trade/money perspective would go Riccardi, McLean, Thilthorpe and then the fantasy of getting Lukosius.

    Taken 9 in the rookie draft. Surely we're not desperate enough to pick anyone who is tallish and can hold a sherrin. We do seem to have an abundance of not good enough tall forwards.

    I saw a tall bloke at the shops earlier - don’t know if he’s any good but I’ll ask him if he can kick straight

    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.

    2023 was not a great year for Naughton but he's a very good player.  If he's an option we should seriously chase him.

    He’s also an exciting forward jumping all over the place. Would get kids through the door

    It might be a dumb suggestion as he is key to our back successes, but what about putting Steven May at full-forward and getting Ben McKay from North as a key back?

    That's a 26-goal season right there!

    (On a serious note, it's also 7 shots (not counting any OOBs!) So something to work with?)

    Having a look over playing lists, there’s a few that seem to have excess tall forwards.
    Looking for a bargain...

    StK - Cooper Sharman?

    Coll - Ash Johnson?

    GCS - Burgess? Chol the obvious option. McLaughlin?

    Adel - Fogarty? Gollant?

    WBD - O’Brien? 

    Port - Lord? Scully?

    Haw - Ramadan?

    Freo - Corbett? Treacy? Kuek?

    Did I just dream this or was this in the rumour file?

    Dees given up on trying to snare No.1 pick and Harley Reid.

    Now all into luring Nick Larkey from Kangas.

    With cap space created by Grundy/Harmes/Brown, will sign him on mega four-year deal worth $4M.

    North to receive picks 5 and 13 plus Paul Spargo.

    Dees to solve forward issues for next few years with van Rooyen and Petty further up field and Larkey and Fritter near goals.

    It will have to happen with another player as Spargo is a required player and won't be released.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.
