Someone else already in the team could perform the same role, but he could play in a BP.

I'm just saying it's possible.

Who do you think could fill that role? I can't think of anyone, unfortunately (it's why I'd like us to look at a small defender somewhere in the draft).

EDIT: Just read above - some of these guys have been a bit harsh on you E25! ;)

    what about, grimes, bartram, strauss, cheney, garland and frawley can both play on a smaller forward and, bail and bennell can both play small defender, cameron bruce has been playing in the backline?

    i think that is an area we have covered

    Blease. Clean Hands, looks a good kick and lethal pace. Hell yes.

    I looking forward to seeing Tappscott Debut most of all.

    I reckon Blease will be an Important player for us.

    tapscott by far! our chapman, hard at hit, agressive and good skills, can play midfield or forward. he likes to get in opponents faces, doesn't take any crap, exactly what our team needs more of

    Grimes doesn't play on the Milne-types, and even if he could he'd be wasted there.

    Bartram is the guy we're talking about replacing, so I'm not sure what's going on there :P

    I'm not sure Strauss has the pace or the smarts required.

    Cheney is too slow for the role and it's not surprising we sent him off to the Hawks for virtually nothing.

    If Bruce has ever played on the types Bartram is required to take he's long past it now, and at 31 years old he's not exactly the right age either.

    One of Garland and Frawley could play this role at times but they're generally needed elsewhere.

    Bennell's looked far too loose in the backline, which is probably a big part of why we moved him up forward and kept him there for most of the second half of the season. He has the pace, but I'm not sure whether he has the defensive discipline/smarts.

    Bail's really the only one of the lot. His strength is endurance running and he has looked best as a linkman IMO, but it's feasible. I'm not sure he's even played the role much at VFL level though, so it's pretty speculative.

    In summary, the potentials are trying to remould Bail, or go back to a guy - Bennell - who has been tried and failed (albeit still early on in his career). Not a hugely exciting list.

    I agree and the last person whom played on Milne was Frawley-I think.

    Blease yet to be tried. Could fill this role perfekly!

    In couldn't agree more. He will be as important to us as Sandilands is to Freo. The thought of having Gawn in full flight with Jamar playing high marking forward and second ruck will be devastating in my opinion, and a crucial part of our 2014 premiuership setup IMO

    the prospect of the russian working as back up ruckman come forward is knee trembling. otherwise fitzy for me and if stef martin can find his groove?

    • 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.
