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 heartbeat 

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 advantage

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

31 yo. 510 goals. 1300 marks. 

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?  Just a thought  ā€¦just an opinion

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.

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

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. 
 

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

These two are huge talents but Petty seems very injury prone and Jvr really needs to get his agro under control.  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.

If B. King remains unsigned we will just be one of 12+ clubs who will table offers for him. Pie in the sky stuff. šŸ„§šŸŒ¤ļø 

He’ll goto Collingwood, just you watch.

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


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 fellas 

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. 

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. 

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
