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.

    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

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
