I think we need to brutes at each stoppage, plus a classy inside ball-runner, to help with the wingers and other small types, around the stoppages.I wouldn't be hugely surprised if Oliver has a little bit of a bounce-back year next year. Not to his previous level, but certainly an improvement.
But that doesn't change the fact that our starting midfield is woefully unbalanced. The game is going the way of small, zippy midfielders who break lines and damage with ball in hand.
Meanwhile, the four main midfielders we use (Oliver, Trac, Viney, Sparrow) are all big-bodied brutes who mostly lack pace and can't kick.
Mids.Hi all ... I come in peace ... just wondering what your thoughts for your pick 5?
Do you look for a mid to learn under and eventually replace Petracca, Oliver, Viney and co ...... or maybe a key back like Trainor to replace May (33 in Jan) & Lever (29 in March)?
There is talk you might be looking for another forward but with Fritsch, Petty and a developing Van Rooyen, Turner & Jefferson it seems you are quite well stocked there
As said .. come in peace... just trying to get a supporters angle on your 1st round pick
Cheers!!
I see the tall issue being looked at in the 2025 draft and trade period. BigMac maybe.?In line with others above, we need another metres gained type running midfielder.
A key forward would be great so we can throw Petty back into defence where he belongs, but it’s far more important that we alter our game plan to improve our speed on the ball and manner of forward entry.
This suits the current draft too, so watch this place melt if we don’t select a speedy midfielder with our first.
We need 4 of this type, in any given game. 2 wingers with elite run and kicking... plus a true old fashioned rover-type with the step and the kick.Whoever we take at 5 needs to be a modern day mid. Someone who moves well and kicks better, not another big ass midfielder who can jump on the ball but then is equally as likely to give it to the oppo as to a teammate. Have enough of those
Mids, plenty to go about this draft, apparently.?Hey thanks to those who have replied reick 5 ... much appreciated
Of course we are also wanting and probably looking at mids ... if we get pick 8 which would give us 2 picks inside Top 10 we need inside grunt with burst but also there is a need for class as well ... Langford Reid Smillie Lalor Lindsey would be all around that 7 / 8 pick
Apart from maybe Jagga, O'Sullivan & Draper going in the Top 4 (not incl. Ashcroft or Lombard) the rest is pure guesswork at this stage
I'm easy, another Brayshaw at this club would be great.I believe A11dAtP0w3R mentioned Brayshaw on here a while ago? Tom Morris on SEN this morning.
Andrew Brayshaw
“Fremantle want to extend him beyond free agency which is next year, but watch clubs come from the clouds for him.”
“He is a very attractive player, partly because he is a free agent next year, but he’s reliable, he’s a leader, he’s durable, he’s consistent.”
It wasn't so much about the club, imv, perse, but about the off field issues not being fixed properly.I dont think being Gus' brother is enough for Andrew to say I want to play for Melbourne as things currently stand. If he was up for grabs he'd have far more stable clubs interested in him, star players dont seek drama.
This game from Murphy Reid was even better than the already impressive stats suggest. He proved his elite kicking skills by consistently hitting targets on a day that the wind was wreaking havoc with disposal. He managed to find space at times in a finals game where the pressure was ratcheted up several notches. He was swung forward in the final quarter and seemed to be involved in every score as the Dragons put the Jets to the sword.
This is easy fixed.True, but I do think at times he gets a bit cute with his blind over the head handballs. They come off pretty often, but he will do them at times when it seems completely unnecessary.
Clarry's mania adds to his panic station handballs.Maybe Clarry can join in on the lesson then...
Next year, LDN.?Kind of disappointed the Brand Petracca guys aren't still demanding we put him up for trade.
Seems a bit off-brand.
We would have to give future first; plus something, as we will likely be in finals, just.What's the chances that we trade could trade out our future first for gold coasts pick 6? They won't want to keep it at risk of an early Lombard bid. They can then use theirs or our future first on Rioli.
Drafting Langford and Reid would together would be immense.
Clarke's highlight reel looked promising... certainly not the type a team would want to lose after only two seasons. Is he just way too far down the order at the dogs?Heard you guys are keen on Konstanty and Clarke from WB
There was a day or two where he learned how to use the multi-quote function.Almost thought we had a thread title change "this is SugarHealey's world and we are just living in it"
Either that or we need a username called InsulinGreg.Almost thought we had a thread title change "this is SugarHealey's world and we are just living in it"
Tear to a glass eye it was.There was a day or two where he learned how to use the multi-quote function.
I don't think we need a player of his type. Over the hill, has injury issues, slow and having him clog the forward line in the 2's isn't going to help the younger players there. It was already too cluttered with Ben Brown doing that role on the listHope the Dees have a look at Sam Day from the Gold Coast could get him for nothing. Would be a very handy backup forward/ruck.
That’s the problem with the club the 2’s are shit & we have no depth he could play Petty’s role & ruck for 5 mins leaving JVR to play forward 100% of games.I don't think we need a player of his type.
