Trading next year's is fine with Kalani and Tarion Ah-Mu coming then. Keep this year's though

    I like the ‘ca’t’ which both perfectly describes Ralph’s journalism and Richo’s English.

    We need to add quality mature or maturing players. There’s no doubt about that.

    But we’ve completely botched our window as a destination club and made a huge mess of the list.

    We shouldn’t be afraid of using the draft for high end quality and finding the right mature guys without selling the farm.

    The focus has to be on adding quality pieces of the puzzle at the right price. I have zero faith in this list management/scouting team to do that.

    I heard him say that and wasn’t impressed. We’ve now likely got pick 6, perhaps pick 5. If that’s not a top shelf youngster or an A grade mid under 25 then I’ll be disappointed.

    It’s been said a million times before but this is self preservation, nothing more and nothing less.

    We don’t need experience, we need high quality

    Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

    Let's just see shall we? Houston cooled because we refused to pay two first rounders.

    I'd be staggered if we don't take our 2024 first rounder to the draft.

    Having already lost Jordon and Harmes, and now with ANB leaving, we certainly need to restock on strong, reliable mid-tier players who know their roles. That's a vital ingredient that we need to get right.

    Bold prediction, sadly unless they work out how to cryo-freeze humans we will never know.

    I’d love to ask the question to the Tigers about Nick Vlastuin. Will be 31 starting next year and has two years left on his contract. Could we get him out of there for a late second round pick? If we can’t get Houston, he would be a fantastic addition. Great ball user, great one on one and an excellent intercept mark.

    I was actually thinking about the Tigs list if there's anyone we could pry out.

    Taranto went there chasing a flag and won't be keen on full rebuild. 

    I'd be asking the question of him as well.

    Has that been reported? I've only read that we were the sole Melbourne based team willing to offer two firsts.

    Thank god Houston appears to have saved us from ourselves.

    Taranto is a pass in my books. Continuously butchers the ball and fades in and out of games. After Baker, Bolton and Rioli leave, there isn’t a huge amount left to pick at.

    Where’s Baker going?

    Either WC or Freo. He wants to head back home to WA.

    or the fringe players - yr tholstrup's, spargo's, laurie's, pup's of the world - need to develop into those roles

    Dees need to focus on skills and pace through the midfield.

     I don’t think that Riv and McVee are the answer.  They are excellent across our defence and should stay there.  You don’t rob your strengths to try to fix other gaps.  
     

    two steps 

    1. Recruit one mature player ready to go in the midfield.  Peatling for example would be an excellent addition.  
     

    2. use this year 2024 draft to see at least three quality midfielders… this years draft is super strong

    No, I'm speculating, but I can guarantee you he didn't cool because of Trac.

    Peatling for a future pick and  then use pick 5/6 on another midfielder sounds like a good start

    Spargo needs to step into ANB’s shoes over summer.

    Chandler is a better option. We need a goal kicking HFF.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
