    Bailey Laments Cost of Interstate Recruits

    Dean Bailey, sided by ex-Melbourne recruitment manager Barry Prendergast, has expressed his dissapointment at the club's inability to fund the relocation of 2008 recruits Jamie Benell, Neville Jetta, to a lesser extend Rohan Bail along with 2007 Number 4 selection Cale Morton.

    The mistake has led to the sacking of Prendergast, and a new hiring of recruitment Benjamin Jenkins, a 14 year old who can be paid minimum wage who resides within 400 metres of the MCG. Luckily for the MFC, the only talent pool Benjamin will have access to is his Under-15 side and possibly the Under-16 side.

    "Unfortunately Ben will not have access to Seniors matches as they play on the Sunday, and his parents want that to be his homework day" Bailey said. Ben's sister attends his Saturday football matches, and The Age understands that the family would like Mr. Jenkins to attend his sister's Sunday Ballet.

    Morton, a boom recruit who starred in his first handfull of matches, began to visibly wane on field towards the latter part of the season. Supporters' wondered why his kicking fell away as the season wore on, but it has since become clear it was solely due to the fact that the club could not feed him.

    Craig Cameron, the Demon recruitment manager of the time, was quoted off the record as laughing at the Demons expressing distainfully that he had truly "stuck it up the f#$%rs" by selecting the WA teenager.

    Prendergast, attending his last official engagement as an MFC employee, was clearly upset by his incorrect decisions.

    "I should've picked players I didn't rate" was all that Barry could muster in his defence. Claiming, ridiculously, that he thought picking better players, regardless of where they spent their formative years, would help the club.

    "Oh God! Why the hell did I pick Jamie Bennel at pick 35, I could've had Ashley Smith and the club wouldn't be in financial ruin."

    Bailey defended his team's recruitment strategies, explaining that the predicament was "the sole reason we picked Jack Watts."

    My guess is that he started to read it and thought it was genuine, then felt stupid. Either that or he was being a vindictive little...

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
