    Great news. Now who are you trading out to catch such big fish?
    Oliver and May?

    (I’d do that if we could get those two).

    Dees should target young Angus Sheldrick from the Swans. Had good games in 2023 including a rising star nomination.  Showed form as good as Gulden and Warner etc.  but then a few injury ended his year.  This year again unable to crack into Swans line up this year due to injuries (finger and now ankle injury)  the fact they are overloaded with mids. Had 4/5 games in VFL and starred each week  

    He is contracted to end 2025 but I’d definitely get in the phone to his manager.  Like to see Dees consider him. 

    He’s only 21, drafted pick 18 in 2021 draft.  Strong with good pace and very good left foot disposal.  

    That’s the profile of the player we need in terms of age, exposure and cost out.

    Whilst I think we’ll have money to spend this offseason I think it might be better spent going for 2 younger players as we have holes everywhere.

    Our draft strategy is simple; if we still think we are competing for a flag, we will only use 2 picks and use other assets to make the picks as good as possible.

    If we aren't going hard for LDU and Battle then I will spew up. Get them and Moyle plus 2 or 3 picks in the draft. That will top us up nicely.

    Surely with Gus, BBB and possibly Tommo, Tmac and Petty leaving we have cap space?

    I also want LDU but cant see it being til hes out of contract in 2025. Let’s assume LDU agrees to come end of this season what are you willing to give this year whilst he is still in contract that Nolrth will accept. Unless something crazy happens Nth will get a top of band pick for him if he leaves under FA. So to do it a year early it would need to be more than they expect to get the following year to be in their interests.

    A Moyle trade should be number one priority IMO. Battle and Parfitt are good UFA targets.

    Will Brodie (Freo - 25 years) and Jarryd Lyons (Bris - 31). Both have played very good football at AFL level and are now a class above at the lower levels. Both have faults, but would add significantly to our midfield depth (we have none) and would come very cheap.

    Freo throwing the kitchen sink at Chad Warner.

    Watch us recruit Charlie Dixon and Oscar Allen.

    I would take him in a heartbeat. No way are West Coast offering him up.

    Oscar Allen is a star and would be an incredible get, no way West Coast lets him go.

    Would be a good trade period for us.

    Moyle, Battle, Cumming and a depth mid like Parfitt or Brodie would be a good outcome.

    Or we try our luck with a young fringe 22 mid that may prove best 22 worthy. Angwin, Sheldrick etc..

    Regardless, we should be going hard for Callaghan next year when he's out of contract.

    Yep for me Stengle, Battle and Moyle would be a great trade period.

    Pick up some depth in Brodie or Lyons maybe 

    Young fringe players in Sheldrick or Angwin 

    Draft a couple of midfielders 

    And I think I’d be able to have some sort of hope again if we picked up the three first stated.

    he is clearly looking for a big, big pay packet back for a team based in the city of melbourne

    peptides should be throwing significant coin at him; they need a small forward

    Haven't they got the two Davey boys?

    Re JSmith, appreciate we can't discuss the case but two questions I think are reasonable (and hopefully not in breach of the current editorial policy...)

    1. Anyone shed any light as to why there is radio silence from all involved or where its at? Every other similar case has been headline material for months.

    2. What is the situation re our salary cap etc. Can we delist at year's end?

    My understanding is:

    1. the investigation is still ongoing and not even the club or the AFL (and thus the media) have access to any information until Sports Integrity Australia publishes a finding

    2. he is only contracted until the end of this year, so he will no longer be on the list regardless of whether the investigation is still ongoing 

    Mods - please delete if this violates the editorial policy

    I'm not fussed on who we get AS LONG as those being targeted from other clubs and in the draft are quick and skillful. We need players that can run and break lines and deliver under pressure.

    Brodie had a really good year with Freo, last year or the year before.

    I swear I meant to write someone else... I think I was reading about Oscar Allen and my brain went into auto-pilot.

     

    Yes, I have a brain.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
