honestly, i dont care. we didnt deserve to win today. our kicking was atrocious

you'd trade oliver before hogan? crazy!! oliver is a best and fairest winner, likely AA this year, and maybe top 5 in the brownlow medal. And unlike hogan he tries his guts out each week. you're one of the guys that probably wanted to keep watts. Hogan is a defensive liability And his kicking is awful. when hogan misses games melbourne often plays better. i'd be more than willing to trade hogan for the right price.

not sure why people are reacting now. the season was done against port, and if not then, then definitely against the cats

is he fast? no is he a good kick? no does he apply defensive pressure? no is he a good mark? he's ok but wrestles too much. i would be all up for trading him. for those that say he is a good field kick are deluded. his ball drop is hard to watch.

lol. shush. we're not playing finals and dont deserve to

i wouldve traded him earlier. poor attitude and i dont care what his set shot stats are, he is a terrible kick.

you guys are laughable. the title of this thread should be "run home to 10th". since the port loss our season was done! most of you demonlanders learnt nothing from last season. and i forgot the username of the guy i had a bet with

disagree. He definitely didn't mean to punch him in the face. Those swinging right hands are usually targeted into the chest/top of the jumper region but gaff missed. Gaff certainly didn't look at him and punch him in the face. not sure what vision you were watching.

agree on may. would make me sleep so well at night.

i'd much prefer to stock up for next year and work to get dylan shiel who will be out of contract. He is a lot better than gaff. He has power and pace. Would be awesome for us.

When gawn was down last year pedo played 7 games at an average of 18 possessions, 5.5 marks, 18.5 hitouts when he was rucking and kicked over a goal a game. He also polled 4 brownlow votes in 2017. and Hogan is 6th, not 2nd.

...pedo was great last year..no reason he couldnt step up again. hogan squibbed many contests saturday night and dropped easy marks. call it what you will but his form doesnt justify selection. And his attitude is culture sapping.

excuses excuses. he has been pathetic for a long time. i'd much prefer a pederson at the moment. A better kick for goal, good in the air and work ethic much better. he can also be that ruck/fwd that hogan can't. (tmac is no ruck/fwd either). pedo was in AA form when gawn went down last year so i think we need to find a spot for him

I seriously think people like you should be banned from this site. Anyone talking about finals should eat their words. Apparently, last season wasn't a big enough example of people getting ahead of themselves. i still don't think we make finals, and that will stay that way until we actually make finals.

well petty's debut didnt instill me with a lot of confidence, and oscar mcdonald is still someone who needs 15 men to support him so we should be moving heaven and earth to get a key defender.

agree with this post 100%. I'm almost at the point where i'd prefer them to learn some harsh lessons again. even in the off season i was one of the rare people that didnt buy into the 'we're breathing fire after missing out on finals by 0.5%' notion. i've adopted the 'i'll believe it when i see it' notion.

hell no to armitage. injury prone, slow and poor skills. no to gaff as well. I'd be all up for bringing in aaron hall. His best is very good and was leading the brownlow last year (or the year before) after the first 4 or 5 rounds from memory.

haha deal. i'll cyber shake to that binman i obviously hope i'm wrong but i'm quite confident. just like i was with watts saying that pick 31 would be better and watts will be dropped mid season. could a person be any more correct on a given issue? lol

Go for your life. I don't think we'll play finals. I think a lot of supporters outside die-hard dees fans expect the same.

i recognise that they are different players and different positions. but i never said i wanted an outside accumulator that is soft and unaccountable defensively. I'd much prefer a key defender for obvious reasons. if anything we need speed through the midfield. the pies exposed us for leg speed when we played them. guys like stephenson, degoey, hoskin elliott just embarassed us on the spread so the last person i'd want is gaff. pretty sure he couldn't run 20m in 3s. he's quite slow.

yeah, probably. i mean most of his kicks are pretty easy spot up kicks with not much risk attached. he probably cant kick too much further than 50m. I'd just much prefer to grab a key defender and alleviate the oscar mcdonald effect than to get an outside midfielder. if anyrhing i'd go for aaron hall and would almost prefer him at his money

i would. i dont rate gaff as high as others. he is poor defensively and one paced. he is just an accumulator to me with above average foot skills.

not sure how many times it needs to be said but gaffs defensive game is a weakness, not a strength. i'd much prefer steven may. the peace of having oscar mcdonald either at casey or on the 2nd best tall would add years to my life

not making the finals guys. ever since we lost to port and stkilda i didnt think we were a chance. and im usually right with these things

We need a key defender. We can't rely on Oscar Mcdonald and Frost to keep us competitive when lever is out for a year. That means May or someone else but I think that will be high on the agenda. Otherwise, any outside mids with leg speed and accountability. That rules out Gaff.
