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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
