Which players are possibly open to a good offer? 

More like a wish list.

Ideally Age 22-25 , high impact, experienced, returning Victorian?

Dissatisfied with current team/prospects?

Just scratching the surface though I’m sure to have included or missed something obvious.
 Some high cost/value, others cheaper but may not offer much. Mainly mids and forwards. Have not included any rucks as I believe it will be difficult to attract any after last year until Max actually retires. 

(grouped in clubs, possibility and by quality of the group)

Serong, Young, Brayshaw, 
Butters, Drew, Bergman, 
Davies-Uniake,
Holmes
Callaghan, Ash, 
Taranto, Baker, Short, Ross, Graham
Dale, Richards, Smith 
Sinclair, King, 
Rayner, 
Walsh, Curnow 
Parish, Hobbs, 
King, Humphrey, Ballard, 

Couldn’t find too many from these teams: Coll, Haw, WC, Adl.

of those currently under contract. darcy parish would be one that i would definitely be keen to have a chat with

i can't see the peptides wanting to honour their very long deal with him given that their midfield seems to operate better without him

as such, if we can take on the wage and not give up much collateral, it would appear to be a potential win: win

 

We won’t be able to get anyone one that list. Collingwood, Carlton will be into them long before we are. Saints will throw ridiculous money and long term contracts. Geelong will give them lifestyle and reinvention. 

We just don’t even have a training base. 


Liam Reidy Fremantle 

Ideally Age 22-25 TICK

High impact, experienced, TICK

Returning Victorian? TICK

Dissatisfied with current team/prospects? TICK

behind Jackson and Darcy but dominant in WAFL.

Cheap.

Started as a fwd but plays first ruck now.


Free agents I hope we look at:

Stengle, Cumming, Battle and J. Berry

Out of contract players:

Moyle, Baker, Busslinger? 

Contracted players but ask the question

Humphrey, Lord, Thilthorpe (part of Petty trade?) 

We are not a destination club , somehow playing on the MCG is not all that appealing. We should trade Oliver and Petty to Norf. They give us one of their mids( preferable not the Tasmanian player). Or we get their pick one. We go out and get Tilthorpe. Alternative we trade Oliver and a second rounder to Freo for Brayshaw. NOT goinh to happen , I know. What about getting rid of Goody and all the assistants . New coach picks his own assistants.

Max Knobel of Fremantle Dockers 

Date of Birth: 27/06/2004 (20 years old)

Height: 206 cm (6' 9")

Position: Ruck

Taken in the 2022 draft from Gippsland Power.

Out of contract this year. 

According to #foreverfreo, he’s too good for ressies footy.

Yesterday's stats:

48 hitouts
23 disposals 
5 marks
2 tackles
1 goal

Any WA Dees fans know much?

 

Someone posted a tweet a while back from a journo suggesting we were into Ryan Angwin from GWS. Will watch him more closely now he's getting senior games but looks a tough competitor and can allegedly kick a footy. Vic boy and has had limited opportunities so far.

Melbourne misses - SEN

“The big miss, their past two years of trades,” Josh Jenkins added. 

“I think they are zip from six. Brodie Grundy, Lachie Hunter, Josh Schache, Jack Billings, Tom Fullarton and Shane McAdam

“They are zip from six on the trade table in the past two years and that has got to be a big miss.

Who’s responsible for this & we have signed another ruck Campbell to his 4th club?
 


Jenkins. Yawn.

Any dates for Delisted Free Agency?

  • 3 weeks later...

What time is the first pick?  

 

I can then plan ‘5x5 on the clock’ before we get involved (maybe with a bid, then another 5 mins on the clock and so on….

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
