Who should we attempt to poach

Featured Replies

#1 - Jamie Charman.

Not a flashy player but just the type of effective, intimidating ruckman we need. As my housemate observed, some players are good blokes with a bit of mongrel in them, but Charman's a mongrel with a little bit of good in him (maybe...).

I know he's virtually pledged his future to the Lions - http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/char...3833599064.html - but even so I think we should do all we can to convince him he can lead the recovery at Melbourne.

Whaddya reckon? Other candidates?

 

I think we're in a better position than most at the bottom of the table (to poach) as we have players that would be attractive to other clubs.

Yeah, lets get Charman and he can help Sandy win another flag.

Why do we need another ruckman when Benny Holland (bless his socks), does such a good job? :rolleyes:

 

Ryley Dunn: hard at it quick midfielder

Courtney Johns: He starred for bendigo bombers yesterday in defence. he is powerfully built and just shook off any play that came near him. we must hunt him!

Jaimie Graham: 196cm backman from the eagles

Kane tenace: very quick midfielder, needs to work on kicking.

Shannon Byrnes: another very quick nippy small player.

Barry Brooks: talented ruckman from saints.. cant get a game

Ricky Dyson: this kid really excites me with his breaking from pack pace and lace out kicks to a target. must be targeted

John Meesan: talented ruckman forward from adelaide. rumours saying he wants to return home.

David Trotter: hard at it midgfielder from the oos who hasn't got much of a run this year. very talented back in his younger days.. and talks was we were gonna pluck him instead of brock mclean

Alipate Carlile: strong built backman from port adelaide. should be target as he is a melbourne boy

Matthew pavlich: we all know why

Chris Judd: as above

Luke Jerihco: From the crows. a half forward who is very talented but injurys has hit him

Kepler Bradley: seems to be struggling at the bombers and a big strong backman like him would be very handy!

Chris Egan: smooth moving player with lots of talent and very quick. Struggling at collingwood, though out for the year with injurys

Brent Hartigan: Solidly built small backman who would be very handy when someone like whelan goes down. was really impressive in his first year back in 2004 but injurys has ruined his chances. A tough nut!

Cameron Wood: very talented ruckman from brisbane who we should chase hard!! 2005 ruckman with great leaps and plenty of skills. a freak in his younger days.

i would atleast look at 2 players out of that list. some handy talent there

Charman should not be our target. he in bribaine's number 1 ruck and thus will cost too much on the trade market. Plus he has pledged to brisbane he wont want to leave.

I think the player we should go for in Cameron Wood. He is now the lion's 3rd ruckman behind Charman and Leungerger. with Charman and Leunberger both young and extremely talented they might be willing to let Wood go. He is a fine young ruckman and will be a gun.

i think a good trade would be pick 21 plus Brad Miller for Wood. This is a fair trade imo and a genuine possiblilty.

The other trade i would target is Ryan Murphey from freo. pick 19 should be fair enough. he is young, tall, talented genuine full forward who cant quite make it into a freo forward line that boasts key forwards Pavlich, tarrant, longmuire with adam campbell a future propect for them so freo may be willing to let him go...

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
