Blistering

Ya reckon he might not perhaps have done something on a consistent basis that caused a new coach to not "want him around"?

I would be shocked if he was playing somewhere else.

Many thanks for the report Where Demons Dare but you mention two of our recruits' kicking - "Onley looked really impressive, I thought he moved very well and was so agile for a big mid. His kicking was a bit hit and miss." "Taylor still very green, but he did some great tackles and pressure during ball movement drills. Kicking was a bit iffy today." Much has been said about the team's poor disposal. Are we going to pay for overlooking some of the top kicks in the draft?

I would only wish Clarry well in his future and hope that he stays healthy over the remainder of his career but I have a question relating to the his contract, now with GWS Giants. What happens if for some reason, the contract with the Giants gets terminated after two years and Clarry doesn't find another club. Is Melbourne still required to pay him over the following three years?

It's only a flesh wound.

When he said "no trading of picks" was he referencing our picks 7 & 8 or was he ruling out all trading of picks including a possible trade to an earlier pick further into the draft in order to select a player the club's interested in?

Why are people so worried about us drafting Sharp if he's considered one of the best players in the draft?

No Marcus Prasad?

The consensus among Melbourne fans is that our draft aims should concentrate this year on midfield types to help replace recently departed superstars Clarry and Tracc but the pundits think otherwise. Most of the media experts doing mock drafts are suggesting the Demons will select 198cm tall SA key position player Aidan Schubert with one of their first round picks so I figure he needs to have his own thread.

Reckon he needs to spend a bit of time in the gym.

I hope that he's fully committed and stays. His 2025 performance was all that could be expected from a player coming back from where he was. Time for him to fire under a new coach and a new style of play after a year to get back into the swing of things.

It was a shocking time to suffer that injury and I hope he's back to full strength for the upcoming preseason. He's reaching the age where his career could take off and yes, we definitely need a player like him who can attack of half back as well as nullify an opponent.
