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.

Given the club's indigenous first nations programs, there is no way they could have signed Walked.

I think its all well and good to say we should poach a forward, but the reality is that there are not many that we could get at this stage:  WCE will not trade Allen. He's under contract, youn

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

Most Hawk supporters know he is nowhere near the standard.

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.

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.

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.

I'm tall, ill play forward 

I mean, I'm 40 and 25kgs overweight but I'll lead up at the ball

Have any of the players on our list kicked 3 in a mid gippy 2s game? No they havent. I rest my case.

And which mid Gippy team might this be @biggestred? We could talk for countless hours about the greatness that is FCFNC 😝😝😝

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? 

Dumb Dumb Dumb 

thats right ONE day in Sept that's all we would have !!

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
