Cal also said Fritsch is ‘gettable’

He might well be if he’s on the outer now and doesn’t want to change

    A lot of moving parts to our tall forward line making it hard to predict where it will end up.

    Petty and Turner can play either end. Johnson was touted as someone that could play back as well and while we've persisted with JvR forward, he performed very well at U18 level in defence and could potentially move there.

    If Jefferson makes it, he looks mainly to be a forward while Kentfield has looked better behind the ball at VFL level.

    If we add Morris to the mix (more of a 3rd tall but plays above his height), what would our ideal tall fwd set up be?

    Petty, JvR, Morris

    Jefferson, JvR, Morris

    Turner, JvR, Morris

    Johnson, JvR, Morris

    Petty, Turner, Morris

    Petty, Johnson, Morris

    Petty, Jefferson, Morris

    Jefferson, Turner, Morris

    Jefferson, Johnson, Morris

    Or do we play with only two talls. And if we keep fritsch, do we play 2 talls + fritsch or 3 talls + fritsch.

    We were reportedly keen on Waterman last year who is also 191cm so we obviously don't see height as an issue and perhaps that type of player, particularly one with some athleticism and strong overhead, could complement our team.

    I think we were after Georgiades too and he is around that height.

    We would need to turn the club around to make it appealing to him.

    Money talks and he’s 19. Easier to take a risk on a club at that age then when you’re approaching the tailend of your career (i.e., Houston).

    Does our Morris interest mean Jefferson's days are numbered.

    Out of the team when injured but no mention of him since recovering ...

    It would be foolish to not have a contingency plan in place if Jeffo can't find a bit of intensity to his game. Shades of Schache and Weid

    The tea leaves can be telling.

    It's anyone's guess how they are assessing Jeffo at the moment. Kind of feels like they were obliged to give him his debut but no further plans.

    Can't see him leaving unless the Lions are offering him an insulting contract.

    Interestingly, G Healy and B Johnson on SEN re-casted the 2023 draft order and had Morris at #1. Windsor was at about 4 or 5 and Kolt wasn't mentioned.

    They had Reid at 10 so I wouldn't be putting too much stock in that.

    Healey would be close to the last person i'd been taking draft advise from.

    The problem is, I don't recall a player ever doing this. Does anyone have any examples of it?

    I believe you cannot teach/train a player to really improve intensity, hardness and general competitiveness. You either have it or you don't.

    We should be looking to trade him for what ever we can get at the end of the season before he just becomes completely valueless.

    Trade him now for hopefully a late 2nd or keep him on this list for 3-4 more years and delist him.

    Easy decision IMO. Same for Fullarton.

    I see Logan Morris as a similar player to Nate Caddy that ultimately turn into a Brody Mihochek type which I think is the model forward of the modern game.

    The Sam Darcy’s of this world are a unicorn.

    Yes. One of his strengths is his contested marking. He is a one touch grab player.

    Oh good, we will beat that out of him and make sure his hands turn to concrete.

    I think Healy is a good judge of talent. Often when he is commentating he mentions the qualities of a player I've never heard of. He is usually right.

    We simply do not have the gamestyle for undersized key forwards. They way we move the ball slowly and try to get repeat entries and bomb it long means the only type of KPF that would truly do well in our forwardline is a genuine 198cm+ type.

    youre probs right overall. Cotchin was considered a 'soft' player then became more of a kamikaze maniac later in his creeer. I remember Brad Green was more outside then became the same maniac later in his career.

    Some can be calm gentlemen in normal life like Dangerfield then switch into absolute beasts when they cross the white line.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
