The Age has named us & Essendon as potentially being interested in Owies

Torn in this one — can finish which we DESPERATELY need but his def pressure isn’t there so if free is be a yes which he should be considering he hasn’t been offered a contract due to their interest in other players like Haynes etc but with them missing on a couple they might offer him a deal now  

 

Understanding that all the so caled trades etc in yet to hear any player from another club ask to be traded to us! We just don’t seem to be very active or a club that players want to come to, journos saying players driving to Casey & the circus of what happened with Trac

Hope Bombers win this chase.

Why if he comes cheap? Who are our round 1 small forwards. Koz ?(suspended). Nibbler ?(gone). Spargo ? (has not played for a year)? So Chandler and possibly Kolt or Kynan or …… A good quality opportunist small forward (6 games of 3 goals and 33 in total for 2024) who is very team oriented who would come at low cost. I can see the potential appeal.  

The Age reported that Peatling is likely to stay.  He was the one player that I thought would be a very good addition for the Dees.  
 

Breakout Giants James Peatling is also weighing up his future, according to two industry sources, despite saying ahead of the club’s semi-final that he wanted to remain at GWS.

The Giants have increased their offer since mid-year, with Peatling transforming into a key contributor in the midfield by season’s end, including kicking two goals in the first quarter of Saturday’s semi-final while playing on Lions star Dayne Zorko.

The interest in Peatling from Victorian clubs such as St Kilda and Collingwood has not disappeared, and he is considering his future, even if he may remain at the Giants beyond 2024.


Yes to Peatling (if he was available)

Yes probably to Parfitt, Derksen 

Maybe to Membrey , Matt Kennedy, Owies

Maybe but with a lot of due diligence: Malcolm Rosas (jnr) 

No to … Macrae, Daniel, Ross, Taberner, Cerra, Ladhams, Jack Martin, Marchbank, Hind, Sam Day , Haynes, Stringer, Darling

Kennedy def fits the bill keys hope we go after him! 
 

Wade Derkson — as reported by afl.com.au & above is someone we have interest in and his hands are allegedly super-strong so watch that space could be a nice little get for not much & giants signed him up so they def saw something on him 

I just love the name, it sounds made up.

Parfitt ? Never been a fan of his work - Bailey Laurie offers more upside imo

But it would ruin the nickname you're trying to push onto Tholstrup though

Is there something legit about Derkson or would he be just another Pat McKenna who we also got from GWS a number of years ago. 

I think Matt Owies could be useful for us, but I guess we have Spargo who potentially could get himself back into the side.

Does sound like a NPC for sure

I must be on an island with Lewis Young. I thought he was a good solid defender and at his age I would be snapping him up if cheap. 

I must be looking at him all wrong as I'm shocked he is being traded in the first place.

I think he has sone great afl qualities as well, but also has his deficiencies but as a role player he'd be an asset if he came as a cheapie that is for sure.

No mate, this kid can play and has WAY more upside -- he lead GWS VFL Gkicking LY and played very well behind ball this year, they just have a plethora of talls ahead of him and he wants to come to VIC for family reasons (3 kids) and obv opportunity.

Dees in 'box seat' for Derkson according to today's episode of Gettable

If Rivers and McVee are intended to be used more up forward next season, I'm surprised we're not linked to players needed to play their role in defence - or have I missed something?

Houston said Hi !!! 

If we went with Owies, we could play Spargo on the non Langdon wing and play Windsor between half back and midfield.

If we're not going hard on this bloke then I'll fully rage

Pick 5 get it done you think?

If I could pick any bloke in the league to grab for free, it would be Jesse Hogan but Finn would probably be close second.

He’s got it all

Derksen would fit right in at Demonland.  People are already stuffing his name up.

Not prepared to wade into this argument.

 
20 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

players that the various afl medja punditry have linked us to, and away from, in the last six months:

  • ryan angwin (gw$)
  • wade derksen (gw$)
  • dan houston (pear)
  • tim membrey (aints)
  • jake waterman (meth coke)

plus we have our own various demonland threads on other players (such as matt kennedy from the baggers) but i'm yet to see anyone in the medja link us to him

also got linked to Leek Allir in the last couple of days I read somewhere..

Not sure Spargo will ever be a viable wing with his zero overhead game, but Chandler took some rotations in the last 2 weeks and looked fine.

We need to do what every other club does and realise the wing is largely a trash position and stop spending so much on it and rotate guys through. 

Chander, Fritsch, Tholstrup should all play some minutes there, heck even Disco if he has a big summer and that way Windsor and Langdon can move around.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
