Was he not playing in the forward line? Genuinely hard to kick 1 goal in 6 games as a forward no matter if your a main target or not

Pretty amazing he wasn't dropped with 1 goal in his last 6 games

Every Freo supporter acting like he was absolute garbage this year. This year compared to 2021 he almost doubled per game his tackles, centre clearances, inside 50s, whilst also making great improvements in stoppage clearances, intercepts, and cutting down on turnovers. It might be irrelevant...

Cameron was also 27 when he was traded, Jackson just turned 21.

IMO the Grundy deal will end up similar to the BB deal as the circumstances are quite similar. Similar age at the time, similar circumstances with the trade being club driven not player driven (lessens his value), both coming off injury concerns, both had big contracts. I’d be genuinely shocked...

Why is this a thread? Even if Cerra does nominate Melbourne we won't be giving up Brayshaw in any deal. Gus is now a leader of the club who epitomises what the club has done this year, fully buying into the defensive and team side of the game. He's developed into what I consider an elite role...

Your actually correct there with his juniors. He missed pretty much all of his u17's year with a knee injury (pretty sure it was ACL) and a good chunk of his u18 year with shoulder surgery. Cerra isn't a wingman, he is a inside mid. If you think trading out Brayshaw for Cerra to play on Gus'...

Not really sure who your referring to in the hypothetical? All of the players I mentioned are out of contract, thus if they request a trade they'll nominate a club and that club will have the leverage because they are out of contract.

The thing is though Freo can't do that, Cerra is the one who is signing a new contract with a new club, he's the one who gets to pick where he plays, not Freo. I will say it again he is Out Of Contract, if he says I want to sign my new contract at Melbourne, Freo has to trade him to Melbourne...

I think you underestimate how crafty we can get at the trade table when swapping picks to get deals done, we do it every year. If Cerra nominates the Dees your going to have to deal with what we offer because he's OOC, players like Jackson, Koz, Rivers are not OOC, we choose if we want to trade...

I think you'll find that Cerra plays his best footy as an inside mid. He doesn't have the elite engine or elite leg speed to be an elite wingman. Not convinced he'd be any better than Brayshaw on a wing with all the defensive work and 1%'s Gus gives out there are invaluable. If he's coming to...

He was moving fine apart from the fact he had 7 touches, 1 mark, not a single scoring shot and then had to miss the rest of the season with the same issue? 1 lot of surgery didn't work, there's no certainty a second lot will. I'm quite happy with our 24 year old, healthy, 47 goal medium forward...

How would you fit him into the team? Keep in mind his mobility could be completely shot after his back issues. I think that money could be better used elsewhere.

I'm curious how does it make sense from a Melbourne perspective? Which one of Brown, Tmac, Fritsch, or Jackson are you kicking out of the forward line? There's no way you can play Gunston with all of them. About to turn 30 and had 2 lots of back surgery in the last year I don't see how it makes...

It might've already been mentioned here but Sam Edmund on SEN this morning: “Melbourne and a number of other clubs have enquired about Brayden Maynard” … “He’s refused to sign an extension at Collingwood until he knows who the new coach is going to be, which others clubs are smelling as blood...

Lever is 25, I assume are you referring to future cover in case he gets injured? The club really likes the bloke we drafted mid season Turner who plays a very similar game to Lever I think we have insurance there already. Unfortunately unless we can trade into the top 10 we aren't going to get...

After watching the replay it's actually ridiculous the throws Geelong get away with. Just about half of their goals in that second quarter came from chucking the ball without getting paid, including a few of the centre bounce goals. I thought otherwise we controlled the entire game without...

Definitely wouldn't say no, but I think he would be exactly what Gold Coast is after, they need players in there who know how to win.

Impey vs Dow? Will Impey get kick ins? Will Dow stay in the team if he doesn't play well on Thursday?

RE Clark I'm really torn on the pick, I don't really want to pick him but I feel like I have to on the back of barely any defence rookies. I didn't watch the Geelong vs Essendon game but I saw Clark took quite a few kick-outs with 6 play on from kick-ins. I would assume there's a role there for...

Jeremy Howe vs Luke McDonald I've had McDonald in my team all pre-season but obviously his performance on Saturday was concerning. Still not really sure if he has the same role as last year, the 24 touches still intrigues me enough to still be interested and his ownership dipping even more. I...

Is there anymore spots in the classic league? I am also keen for a draft league if one is going ahead.

I think you might've gotten a little confused, we had picks 18 and 28, Adelaide had 22 and 23, these picks looked different at the end of the night because of picks sliding back due to academy bids. Nevertheless sounds like neither of Laurie or Bowey would've been there at 22 and 23 anyway as...

After our list is pretty much finalised this is what my 22 looks like: B: Hibberd, May, Lever HB: Rivers, McDonald, Bowey C: Langdon, Brayshaw, Salem HF: Fritsch, Weideman, Petracca F: Pickett, B.Brown, Viney R: Gawn, Oliver, Harmes I: Jackson, Melksham, Laurie, Tomlinson Fringe: Hunt, Sparrow...

I think Laurie is a round 1 lock, he'll have a nice impact next year up forward. Bowey will be a good chance too and could even line up on the opposite wing to Langdon but likely starts as a small forward. Rosman will take a while to develop, but has a big ceiling. He looked a bit off it last...

I don't mind just taking the 3 picks inside the top 30 but would you rather have Macrae who is a top 10 talent and someone we rate really highly or Holmes who many see as not in the top 50 and pick 28 (which will be 30-35)? Not using pick 50 also just seems like a waste since we got it in a...

If Macrae kept on sliding on draft night I could see us trading something like 19 + 28 for Collingwood's pick 14. We get Macrae, Collingwood have an interest in Poulter who will be there at 19, and they are looking to bring in more picks in this years draft after their list exodus, and we solve...

Would be very very happy with that outcome from the Dees, I'd still be using our 3rd rounder because we have 5 lists spots available which I'd use on Baldwin.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed but Kobe Farmer was training with the Melbourne senior players on Wednesday and has nominated for the draft. He's part of Freo's NGA but they might have told him we're not going to take you because we don't have enough spots, I wonder if we're going to pick him...
