    Two Harrys, then?

    And 'harry': 'Persistently carry out attacks (on an enemy or an enemy's territory)'

    That'll do me.

    That's what I thought. Why the heck would he have got a 3 year contract?

    It might’ve been a 2 year deal with a trigger that he reached in year 1, but yep, welcome to Melbourne list management. Everyone gets at least a year they don’t deserve

    We all thought it was 2 years, but the list management pinned thread (which is fantastic) has a bit of chatter that it was three years due to a trigger of some sort.

    Either way, he is off the list which is a great result.

    His VFL highlights has some really nice kicks on both sides but it’s not a strength from what I’ve seen of him at afl level. Not a lot of power in his game, great endurance but not the fastest.

    He’d be wing/high half forward depth and good players who excel defensively in those roles aren’t easy to find. I suggested Ned McHenry because that’s how hard it is to find super hard runners with any talent at all.

    Nibbler wasn’t Nibbler for a very long time in his career either remember. 

    Contracted, you’d want Brisbane to do the right thing and let him go for a bag of chips.

    I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

    Hunter signed a 5 year contract prior to the 2019 season with the Dogs to take him through to the end of 2023.

    Therefore we either extended his contract by 2 further years when he came across to us at the end of 2022 or his solid 2023 season set off a trigger.

    As for Sharp, his PB at AFL level is an 18 possession 1 goal game against the Suns earlier this year and he also had a 19 possession 3 goal game in one of the VFL finals just gone.

    Because both Sharp and Derksen are contracted we may have to pay overs for them maybe 37 for Sharp and 45 for Derksen.

    Windsor will never play half back. 
    Will go straight into the centre to direct our connectivity to our forward line. 
    Sharp Bowey could play wing even Pup Brown possibly though I think  he could end up as an on baller or half forward.

    Don't mind this.

    One of the fittest players going around in the competition and one thing he does bring is quick ball movement and speed.

    He's actually a bit like Ed Langdon in that he'll hit a target 30m up the field and then follow up again with a hand pass and reset again.

    He's contracted though, I hope Brisbane aren't similar to Dersken.

    I also like this because he's still only 21 so there's lot of growth and improvement left unlike the past recruits who've had of recent.

    Still plenty and growth and development left, and knows, could have a Toby Bedford breakout season hopefully.

    Do you think he'd be a decent replacement for ANB? We're going to miss his gutrunning and goal-sense.

    Yes I do. He's a genuine gut runner.

    This to me is a smart potential trade. On the cusp of their best 22 but held out through their depth of midfield. Vic boy. Strong runner. Wont cost the earth and at 21 potential upside in development and potentially fills holes in list left by ANB and Hunter.

    And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

    • 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.
