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.

    But parents are upset why...?

    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.

    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.

    Which means Trac can play more forward??

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

    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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
