Hunter was a smart pickup - allowed us to move Brayshaw on-ball and he was more than handy in his first season. Combination of the arrival of Windsor, injury and age haven't helped him this year, but it wasn't the worst trade by a long shot.

My issue with Hunter is that he’s contributed nothing positive to our culture. In fact, quite the opposite. Was not worth it IMHO.

    thank you. That was my point too!

    Rarely advances the ball. Predominantly kicks sideways or backwards. No 

    Hey, sorry we didn't catch up at Port game I couldn't go. I'm o/s really enjoying pizzas in Naples.

    At the same time, it pushed Jordon out of the wing spot, which probably contributed to him leaving. Hunter also has had issues with professionalism, and i don't think it has helped his injury profile this year. Seemed pretty checked out this year.

    Hunter was a terrible short-sighted pick-up, as Caleb Daniel would be.

    He was. Unless he's really fallen off a cliff, Daniel is a far better footballer, but I'm not sure about his age. 

    Is the idea that as long as we have Oliver, Viney, Petracca, May and Gawn, we're in the flag window and so somehow duty bound to top up with 28 year olds?

    Rightly or wrongly, yes, that's exactly what they'll be doing

    On the plus side, we took two first rounders to the draft last year, and will take pick 5 this year, feels like we'll have a solid group of youngsters bubbling away. I'd rather take a punt on cheaper options like Daniel, rather than spend first round pick(s) on Houston that's for sure.

    Hunter effectively pushed Jordon out of the side.......That's aged well :(

    Daniel is so done.....please no

    Why waste a pick on Daniel?

    Lamb and Richardson need to go, pronto

    Good player who has been bevo'd. If we brought in no established players people would whinge too. At least he'll be cheapish.

    The same Dogs list management team brought in Oskar Baker and James Harmes, I don't think they have all the answers personally.

    Surely we won’t waste the mid 20’s ANB compensation pick on him? You’ll get a seriously good player with pick 25 in this years draft 

    Swans' pick 38 probs

    caleb daniel is reportedly on a heavily back-ended deal, $700-750k a year for the next two seasons

    his best position is as a running small defender who, well, doesn't defend that well cos he's so small

    i struggle to see how we can play bowey and daniel in the same side unless one of them changes roles

    Just play the one of the two that actually finds the ball

    Me too. Houston seemed like a really bad idea to me. Especially in this draft brimming with out-and-out onballers.

    I'm not sure how solid our under 22s are, though. Windsor looks excellent. McVee is really good. I think everyone is hopeful rather than certain about Jefferson. I'd rather bolster this area of the list than get another 28 year old "maybe" player.

    Agree, Daniel is a good player but he's not quick. Daniel and Bowey in the same zone defence would be vulnerable. 

    I did like it when he was on the Wizard briefly on Friday night - as someone said - both hoping for a contested marking opportunity.

    You're taking the [censored] if you're including Daniel's sub effected 2024 stats

    as opposed to those that bowey was subbed out of?

    my point stands - to my eye they play similar roles and having similar statistical outputs

    we don't need two of them, and certainly not a significant wage as a 29 and 30 year old

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
