Saints have an embarrassment of riches. Yet neither can get a game.

    Interesting to note ... The Saints drop Stanley this week with the inclusions of Roo & Kosi - How frustrated must the boy be.

    20yo 200cm Ruckmen that can run at his pace dont grow on trees!

    Makes sense that Stanley makes way for Riewoldt, like for likem replacement.

    Hasn't set the world on fore but I still think he's been reasonable.

    Hasn't played in a loss yet the young man.

    With Gardiner and King in the twilight of their careers I have no doubt St. Kilda wont let him go. He'll be their long term no.2 ruck prospect.

    Did anyone see Stanley attempt to kick that goal in the goalsquare last week?

    The kid is as raw as Jake Spencer.

    Exactly. He dropped the mark, the ball bounced off his face and then he punched it through trying to grab it. He's tall, skinny and unco, yet he's a gun and Spencer is a spud. It makes no sense.

    The difference is that one is on our list and the other isn't...

    You clearly don't understand my point, but I'm not really surprised.

    Lynch is just poor man's Matty Bate no? He's that kind of mid range size with a long left boot and red hair. Can mark well but isn't really a key forward. With Jurrah/Petterd/Green/Bate/Dunn I don't know how keen I'd be on Lynch.

    Stanley I like. I don't think he'll be a ruckman just a very tall forward who leads up well. Kind of like Watts with a couple of extra cm's but less class. I'd love to have him (despite not even being 100% certain he will make it as a good AFL player - he's still a project) but think we'd have to give up a decent pick.

    The saints also have Paul Cahill who goes pretty well at VFL level. He might be worth a look.

    Sorry I'm not as good as you.

    I sh$t you not, but I was at a function with Lynch this morning. Very bright kid.

    I doubt he would leave, as he followed the saints as kid. I have to say I was impressed with his manner, and would be an advocate to bring him across.

    Spoke with Nic Heyne also, another promising saints kid wanting a game. Both boys will be playing in the VFL this Sunday, and are both dying to crack the saints team.

    Stanley looked decent against us. Would be keen to pillage the saints roster to help us move forward.

    Yeah sounds good! I just reckon this is the types of players we should be targeting. Somebody who wants to play AFL over VFL because of lack of opportunities at their current club.

    • 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.
