Isaac Cumming is an unrestricted free agent who I hope we are looking at. He would be a good replacement for Gus as that utility who can play halfback or on a wing.

Turns 26 in a few months so is in a good age bracket for us as well.

The only appeal of Cumming is that he's a free agent. But his form/age profile is the exact same as Hunter and Billings. He's out of favour for a reason.

We should be targeting players in their early 20's who have shown something, but can't get a game due to the quality of players ahead of them.

GWS have moved Callum Brown down back rather than play Cumming.

With king's output and injury history he is worth nothing more than 1, late 1st round pick at best. He's a big chance IMHO to end up in the schace, weid group of high draft pick key forwards who showed talent but ultimately fail. He's higher level than them Even  produced a 50 goal season but I don't see him being a gun forward in the afl

You have got to be kidding, don’t you? King is so far ahead of Schache and Weed, they would have been lucky to have played 6 good games each.   King has kicked more goals than Hawk, Curnow at the same age.   The other 2 combined have not kicked that many combined and they are at least 3-4 years older

He hasn't turned 26 and the only reason he hasn't played much this season is due to injury.

He played 24, 21 and 20 games the three years prior.

So completely different to Hunter and Billings.

I rate him as a medium intercepting defender and is a great kick of the footy. Would be in our starting 22 in my opinion. Gold Coast is rumoured to be very keen.

Max King’s body seemingly is not built for AFL footy. He is always breaking down and out for long periods of time.

Only played 83 games across 6 seasons. Handle with care.

I think it’s more to do with the parents. I’ve not heard that it was/is a player(s). 

It’s probably pretty normal but there’s plenty of smoke around us at the moment. 

And what's the smoke? Why are parents upset?

i can't fathom parents being 'upset' by a son's employer who pay them very, very well and want to make them the best they can be

Neither can I. Still, that’s what I was told at Kings Birthday.

I wish. It would be way more scandalous and interesting.

If you're going to put accusations out there at least give us something to work with.

Cummings’ got the skill and competitiveness that would add to our team.  He is a good player.  However not sure where he plays for MFC as he is a running defender.  We have plenty of half backs already.  I’m looking at young mids either through the trade or draft.

David Schwartz suggesting Dees go all out to get Max King - suggesting we could trade JVR for him! 
I don’t think so Mr Schwartz.

Most insane thing Ive heard in a while. JVR has shown he can get there. Max reminds me of Weids.

I dream of us pulling a RIchmond style Caddy and Prestia but I doubt there is the talent available.

All this Carlton talk of Premiership makes me genuinely Sick 

Beat the Bastards i say…

bloods have lost two games by, what, 3 points in total?

imo they're still the team to beat

and if they DON'T win the premiership given the season that they're having - akin to us in 2021, geetroit in 2022 - then it should be seen as a failure

That’s their problem. We should be in the business of Beating all of these Clubs

Take your pick really. I prefer we strengthen our list and stiff to whoever misses out. Based on the current team probably Howes misses out, but who knows next year.

Taking a wild stab, assume it is related to cultural issues which it would be a breach of site rules to discuss.

Cumming at half back would release Rivers to be permanent midfielder.

Even Curnow had a rocky start to his career, almost certain to be a bust and look at him now.

Dees reportedly into waterman from WCE. Wants to stay at Eagles but is being lowballed. 
 

Perfect if we can get him. Source FoxFooty The Tackle. Geelong also into him.

My mail on Waterman is caveat emptor.

King has kicked 159.115 in his first 5 seasons in a terrible team with zero skilled mids. Including a 52.49 season  

And people compare him to Weid? 

[censored] me. watch some football  He us 202cm  he would transform our team

Question marks over his body are there but I would give up 2 first rounders any say of the week for him

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
