Injury/body concerns or other?

The young players at the MFC are unsettled? Really? They're all getting opportunities and most starting to show their wares.

I know some of them were a bit shellshocked after a big post West Coast bake, but I haven't heard anything about being unsettled...

I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. 
 

Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

Which means Trac can play more forward?? 

Trac won't want to play forward again in a hurry after the knee to his spleen.

Surely no one’s shocked by this

I would look at Jack Silvagni. I know he is coming off a knee injury but I like his versatility as a forward, midfielder and second ruck.

Absolutely agree.  I have no idea why Blues fans hate him so much, maybe they don't like his Mums ads for Chemist Warehouse or whatever it is. 

Change of scene may do him good.  And possibly some moisturiser.

 

Apologies if this has been covered off, but doing a bit of a stocktake (happy new financial year Dees fans!) and we *should* have salary cap space in lieu of:

  • BBB
  • Brayshaw
  • Smith
  • Hunter / Billings / McAdam?
  • Laurie

The first two should be a nice chunk of change.  Surely we can go after some talent?

Billings, Mcadam and Laurie are all contracted so won’t be going anywhere. The others are likely, plus Tomlinson.

Reckon Laurie, McAdam and possibly Billings are contracted in 2025.

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

Hold your horses, we can get him with one pick, maybe two only if St Kilda pays 30% of his contract

King is staying with the Saints and they are working on a new contract.

Here is the list and I’d like all of them.

Lukosius- to play back

Waterman- He and JVR 🤤

Lobb- 3rd tall and Ruck

Dylan Shiels- won’t cost much and apparently back to peak powers. 
 

Just need a medium defender.

 

Howes to wing, Juddy and Rivs to play more midfield along with Windsor.

Don't mind this, but just keep Howes at half back as medium defender.

If we bring in Rory Lobb a few Demonlanders heads will explode I imagine...

Please no Rory Lobb...

Isn't there anyone else we can bring as a second ruck? Ideally Kalany White will be with us at the end of next year.

I really don't think there are many options out there unfortunately, so who knows maybe we will have a crack with Rory Lobb....

Kalani White won't drafted until 2025 and even then will take a good 2-3 years to be a consistent performer.

Mabior Chol was the one we probably should've gone for last year, but even he is pretty inconsistent.

We had the best ruck/forward in the league.... but he got homesick

Homesick or Moneysick? 😜

lukosious is a forward - playing him at half back is an incredible waste

Agree. Would love him in our forward line.

Was a defender and a very very good one, with the best field kicking of all key defenders.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
