I’d love Leek Aleer instead.
The bloke is exactly the type we need down back.
Yes it’s not really a need but he should only cost a second. Bloke is not getting a game…maybe with Coxy having a few issues he might like to go home?
Just want Kozzie from Melbourne…
If Melbourne and Essendon are committing to a rebuild. What players can we target?
JuddMcVee looks good, and could provide some run next year. Out of contract 2026.
Nic Martin would be a hard player to get. Exactly what we need, out of contract in 2027.
Anyone else from the sides starting a...

DEE TIPPED TO STAY
MELBOURNE defender JuddMcVee is waiting until returning from injury before getting into his contract talks, but is expected to remain at the Demons.
The rookie success...
I think we need to be realistic, unless we go nuclear, we can forget any player that requires a 1st round pick in a trade.
I like Farrel as a FA and Starcevic too, then outside of this we could probably only target 1 player worth a 2nd or 3rd rounder, as we need a pick or two for academy...
...work with Saad, still only 28 and capable defensively.
Josh Sinn - Peanuts
Miles Bergman - 1st Rounder. Gun.
Dylan Williams - Peanuts
JuddMcVee - 2nd Rounder
Lockdown HBF
Conor Buderick - 2nd/3rd Rounder - Fantastic at locking down oppo small forwards pre ACL. Still working his way...
...on a 1 year deal and minimum wage, I wouldn't be against it. But I would think WC would offer him more than that.
I'd be looking at JuddMcVee end of this year. Not a Zorko type, but he's a good defender and distributor. Will be tough with our salary cap and WC will be interested as well...
It was a solid effort by Melbourne yep.
They have 9th-12th written all over them this season, based on where their list is at. Which is fine as it gives the kids a competitive setting to develop in.
Punchy May. AA full back.
Kozzie Pickett. Nice small forward. Would have been very handy on a day like today!
JuddMcVee. Very good defender, one of our best and most consistent players last year.
We had five debutants today, four of which had never played AFL before. That is quite a lot, a...
