The forward line is the least of the problems. JVR, petty, turner, Pickett, fritch, macadam and Jefferson. 
The issue is the midfield and delivery into forward 50

Yeah our issue midfield now big time. Would be nice to have a Waterman or Lynch but not at great cost. We need our midfield back up and humming it has let us down big time. 

 

I thought we asked this question last year. His body isn't holding up at the moment, I wouldn't.

 

Yes but only if he comes cheap and we’re unable to land another player/s who would otherwise take up our cap space

I think Tex Walker makes more sense if we go this direction. 

bbq'ed

he's on massive coin and his body looks incapable of getting through more than a quarter of a season

happy to take on his contract but wouldn't want to pay more than a third round pick - that we probably weren't intending to use - on acquiring him from the tigs

We have committed to building our forward line from the ground up and (imo) it will pay off. We suffered from having too much NQR tall timber, especially at Casey.

Play the kids!! I trust Jvr, Petty and Disco to offer more, consistently next year then any older injury prone forward.

  • Demonland changed the title to The Tom Lynch Thread

Same as Houston, no thanks.

The only KPF we should pursue, if it even happens, McKay in a potential trade for Petracca.

Otherwise, solder on and play on with JVR and Disco.

Or perhaps Tex, but it is a big IF.

I'm not sure if the forward line is the least of our problems, but the midfield and the whole system of ball movement is absolutely number one.

Tell our CEO who’s yapping about needing a key forward.

Petty back.

A mature key forward to cover Jeffo/Disco would be ideal.

If Richmond can swallow 5-750 of his 1.5  it’s worth a try if we can fix the midfield and flankers with some speed, skill and aggression

Would TDK or Waterman be tempting - very much so yes. We would have to pay out the bum to get them though. 

Besides JVR, our keys talls have been drafted very shrewdly by JT and I hope we stay on that path.

3 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

But it was true last off season. 

Now with one more year of development for JVR and the surprising form of Disco, things look different.

We can't be that desperate to just have retired BBB and now bring someone who is as close as cooked as BBB was.


If this is a salary dump, I'd do the deal if it's similar to the Jack Bowes situation a couple of years ago (see below).

 

"Geelong was the first club to exploit the newly-introduced salary dumping, taking pick No.7 and Jack Bowes, as well as his $1.6 million contract, off Gold Coast’s hands for just a future third-round pick."

Who remembers Kelvin Templeton ?

I still have PKTSD.

It's also a very big and extremely loud NO to Lynch.

I'd say not only because his body is shot but it would be nice to nab someone for a year or two to help fast track JVR and Jeffo's development. 

 

Our fwd line has been an issue for years so i’m glad we are exploring options

Obviously we need mids but we can look for both

JVR will be quality but will Petty/Turner be long term quality forwards?

May and T Mac don’t have long left so Petty/Turner could go back

But Lynch he is about to turn 32 so it would be too big a risk imo

 

No one will take him with his body falling to pieces and there is really no need for the Tigs to move him on.

I doubt there are many on big coin at tigerland at the moment with the recent retirements and trades, so they need to pay someone.

The only way they would get rid of him would to be continue paying some of his contract and trade him for a high draft pick in exchange.

So effectively they'd be buying a decent draft pick which makes sense for them in rebuild mode.

The only temptation would be if his injuries were impact/once off injuries.  But when its soft tissue and feet, then it's a no go.

He'll finish at the Tigs.  No one else would be rolling the dice on him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
