Had a very up and down season this year. Not playing anywhere near the way that had him playing in the International Series a couple of years ago where he was one of the next up and coming youngsters to watch out for.

Goes missing in games for long periods.

    No.

    I would say no but....If Vossy wants him gone, he probably has some value!

    In all seriousness, It would be worth considering...112 games, 85 goals, 23 years of age

    no real injuries, solid body.

    I wouldn't give much up for him, but if he's out the door than why not.

    Anyone have much of a scouting report on him?

    To me, we have solid bodies and athletic bodies, but not enough solid and athletic guys. Can Sherman run?

    A line breaker, and I like him for that reason ..... but his price tag is likely to be more than I would be comfortable with.

    A line-breaker that gets run down by PJ..?

    And where would we play him?

    I think he believes he is worth a lot more than he actually is.

    Would be a good fit with Essendon maybe.

    Didn't realise that he was the one that PJ caught. I just changed my view of him!

    I believe he was coming off a broken leg (or something like that) at the point in time. For 12 months post that sort of injury players tend to be down on their abilities and he was in that category at the time.

    Sherman is not a star, stars tend to perform even when injured, but is still good. His season before the leg and last year were impressive. Reminds me a little of pettard. Does not seem that great but gee he can make a difference, he just does good things.

    Na there is a reason he is out of favour with Brisbane and thats the reason we don't want him!

    I'd trade Jones for Sherman.

    Sherman can go forward and back and has good pace

    Either way Jones n Warnock are vulnerable as both excess to our needs

    If you believe Alistair Lynch he is a confidence player that performs well when things are going well for him, into that I read front-runner.

    Has talent but would given our track record I would be amazed if we gave him a second thought.

    Agreed.

    Has speed but is liable to poor decision making under pressure.

    No thanks.

    I do not watch enough Brissie games to give an accurate assessment of Sherman, but from what I have seen he has failed to impress.

    Do we really need to tinker to the point where we are taking on players that may not be a part of our best 22?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
