    so now it's:

    -spencer in for meesen (out for entire season

    -valenti in for garland (out for pretty much the whole season)

    -blease's spot is still open...

    -Rd 11 spot is still open...

    I say we upgrade Hughes and Mackenzie

    Only leaving Healey and Zomer

    they should give hughes a go because it's probaly now or never at his age

    Agree whole-heartedly his age and the fact hes been re drafted means this is the year for him to stand up

    I thought Hughes had a red hot go on Sunday. If he backs up in the next few weeks maybe the mid season spot is his. I like the idea of holding out and challenging them as a group to win the next spot and not just hand them out because their availiable.

    Unless they are going to select him in the MFC side then why would they elevate a player?:wacko:

    Hughes is not close to selection at the moment.

    Isn't the Round 11 spot only open to teams who don't have a full quota on the veteran's list (ie. two)?

    He dominated parts of the Coburg game too.

    He played well in one quarter. <_<

    He will have to do alot more than that to get a call up and there would have to be a position deemed vacant for him in the MFC team to fill.

    RR did you watch the game on sunday out of interest? if so there must have been two different Hughes out there? I agree no point elevating any player unless they are really pushing for a snr spot.

    I get the feeling I'm not on my own here. He was a mile ahead of even jetta on sunday. Strong hands, fast, ran all day, continued to present, thumping right foot, I think we could do a lot worse if this continues. Time will tell

    I was not there on Sunday and I have made no comment on his specific performance at the match. You may indeed have seen two Hughes out there on that Sunday. Anyway you agreed with my point so I dont see the need for the reference.

    BTW, Hughes is not competing with Jetta for a position.

    for the rest of this season I think the reference is valid. Why would have we re-rookied him if the club did not see a potential snr player this year. now that being the case I would see him as a sml-mid sized forward. Currently Wona out, leaving pettard, jetta, robbo and maric. Robbo is robbo so no go there, Pettard is filing in as a tall so strike his name out leaving Jetta and maric. Therefore if hughes has snr asperations he needs to go ahead of both of these guys.

    Anyway you agreed with my point so I dont see the need for the reference.

    I knew I'd get an answer! :lol:

    But seriously ignore all stats from sunday, the work he did off the ball and the way he presented and continued to prestent all day was as good/better as most of our snr forwards. A big engine to keep doing it all day and never looked too bad when he came off. This was in a game that was well likened to an u9's scrap where all forwards struggle to have any influance on the game - IMHO being no expert on the matter.

    After sunday I am looking more forward to hopefully seeing hughes in the red + blue. If you get a chance pop down and have a look at him, based on sundays game I'm sure you'll like what you see. Nothing better then a forward on a big lead demanding the pill, with a thumping right foot! I see him as a really difficult player to match up on because of his pace and not short either from memory, up around the 190 mark

    I think that Hughes could play Petterd's mid-sized forward role. I can understand why Petterd's being used as a defensive forward, but I'd hate to see him play that role for the whole season.

    And as you pointed out, there's no logic in re-rookieing Hughes unless the football dept. believed he had potential to be a senior player. If his Casey form continues, he may get elevated sooner rather than later.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
