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?

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….

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
