Posted

Tune in to 3AW tonight at 6:20pm to hear the latest from National Recruiting Manager Barry Prendergast. Got this off melbourne twitter. Probably just get asked if we are taking Ball and who will we draft first. Anyway just thought someone would like to listen.

 

I tuned in at 6.20 but they were talking about Olympic funding, with David Gallop and someone else advertised as being next to come. Did this happen?

 

Yes, happened at quarter to seven.

Gave away very little despite Dwayne Russell's arrogant behaviour with respect to pick 11.

What he did inform listeners is that the players for picks 1 & 2 know they are coming to Melbourne. But what else is new ?

That's interesting because Harrington was on Fox Sports last night and when he was asked if the players at 1 & 2 know he indicated they didn't because they have to find out from the AFL/Fox sports how much of a surprise they want it to be. He was just probably adding to the suspense from a Fox sports side if things.

They can still be/act surprised. They may not know what number....ie. 1 or 2... .

It was the worst interview I have ever heard. They introduced BP as this being his first draft and then asked him what we are likely to do with picks 11 and 16. They then had a relevant point regarding taking Ball at 11 that they were not intelligent enough to explain clearly ie: if we have 11 or more players that we rate higher than Ball then it would not matter what happened we would not take him as one would have to be available at that pick.

Very true, that element of surprise could still be there.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
