Do we need better wingmen??
Our gameplan of run and gun via high use of handballs from the back half (when we are in form) is hampered by having C grade guys on the wings.
We have got million dollar midfielders dishing the ball out to sharp and Banfield who are on minimum chips and not in the elite class of wingmen in the comp. Haven’t been impressed by any of our wingers in recent weeks - they are frequently in our bottom 4 or 5 players.

I would love to see what Brad Hill or someone of that talent level could offer instead of Sharp/Jom/banfield in this freo side.

Now that I mention it, I can’t think of too many premiers recently that didn’t have one elite Wingman. J Daicos, Isaac smith, even Ed Langdon. Maybe Richmond but they did have Dusty.

Maybe you should go to a game and sit on the Sharp wing and watch him go to work. He was excellent against Geelong. Close to our best player. I sit 20 rows back, dead in line with the centre circle. He does a power of work running up and down the wing. He ran Dempsey ragged, but Dempsey does have a few forward/marking tricks that Sharp does not. And Sharp actually got a fair bit of the ball for a change. Often he gets ignored, including when he is free inside our F50. Sharp is more than fine as a winger. The other side we need improvement though.

Just a ruse

Cleared out the bob murphy role..

That feels early for an official trade request by a contracted player

Melbourne are done for the year.

Oliver on ice.
I mean, in for surgery.

Melbourne vibes are at an all-time low, I can't remember a team that seems this low on fun/confidence.

The day after the Petracca story broke too. Media outlets having an absolute field day with “Melbourne premiership player formally requests trade” clickbait headlines.

Haha no way, even at our worst we still had some characters that looked like they enjoyed football. Melbourne seem like they genuinely hate each other and everything about the game.

Desperately wish Pickett hadn't signed for so long

Yeah. Guess it must mean that he’s heading to Adelaide and they’ve gone early since both teams seasons are over, but they still usually wait till the end of the h&a season

It would be criminal if our guys aren't in Kossies ear at the moment

He's just in the no chance bucket while contracted unfortunately due to his age

Nothing like a tweet from the CEO that reads more like a hostage situation to allay Demons fans concerns.

The whole letter from the CEO seems like wildly trying to stamp out a fire, when Christian could easily put the whole thing to bed in a 3 minute chat on SEN or whatever

Strange the whole Warner scenario seems to completely exist outside of the Twomey / Gettable sphere.

He’s still on the “our first three picks for Bolton and Baker” train - while most sources closer to the club say we are potentially further along with Warner, who is our priority - and Bolton didn’t come into the picture until recently.

Wouldn’t be surprised if having kinnear on a few weeks ago also came with the “say nothing on Warner for a few weeks, and will give you some other info”

Thought the same.

I think Darcy is definitely a victim of the club being too keen to bring him back because they're too scared we'll struggle without him, I do think they just need to show some faith in Knobel or Reidy to do the job while he's out, so he can FULLY recover.

Can still get him. Throw a contract at him, offer Melbourne picks

I will say I feel at ease knowing Melbourne are back to becoming bottom feeders, I love them, but it just feels right for Melbourne to be down to bottom.

Nah, there is nothing Melbourne would accept without it being absolutely egregious, like, more than Warner would cost.

They’ll be going through hell, and wanting stability for one last go.

Will be clinging to all the contracted stars to try and turn this around.

Surely they need a coach reshuffle, to get the most out of their list.

Would love Mark Williams at Freo.

I think that's insane but it seems like that's what they want to do. More so with Pickett, at 23, he can be part of the next core. Absolutely no reason to trade him whatsoever
