Trade Targets

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.

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?

7 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

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.

I could be a paid journo like the rest of those media muppets.

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.

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

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
