What about Jack Anthony, a man forgotten. Fits the bill for what we need.

 

True, proven shot for goal, just no space at Collingwood .. And before people say anything remembering Medhurst couldnt get a game either and he is handy

I cant believe he hasnt been spoken about, can play fwd or back, and has plenty of footy left in him

 

Too much of a confidence player for me. When he is on he looks great but goes missing far too often.

No way.

He's not right in the head.

I've heard he has some issues, but so did many, apparently, if you can believe people, he's a different Kat, but so is Brett Kirk.

He's very mobile & athletic with leap etc. Could he be another Tarrant, uncut.

It just makes my footy imagination roll, wondering if he could become an attacking CHB.

That can be so when your the hunted, but can change if your the defender, then attack.

 

Worth a look. Has kicked goals in september-so if he cannot get a game at the Filth because they have too many options then he would be hungry.

Is he a liability upstairs? is that why he is not getting a game now??


Neither are you!

Yeah but with me it's in a good way.

(and no one is campaigning for me to acquired as a player.)

A medium sized player who can play forward or back?

Is a straight kick at goal. That's about it.

Good VFL player; nothing there for us. :mellow:

Edit: FHS, who would he replace/put out of the team?

Yeah, 192cms & 92 kgs,,, a bit smaller than I realised.

I can remember a while ago hearing he was not liked by his team mates and he rocked upto an event he wasn't invited to (someone's wedding i think - but i could be totally off the mark[bad memory]) said hi and then left. Can anyone recall some of the weird things he's done?

Jack Anthony should remain a forgotten man. Pass


Pass, would rather develop a young tall option in the draft then trade for him.

Played 3 finals last year.

Got 7,4,3 disposals.

Marked the ball once a game in all three games.

Kicked one goal v crows. one goal v saints. Two goals wow.

He isn't getting a game cause he is not that good.

He is a lead, mark and goal player. Offers nothing else. He can't become a link player up the ground, he is useless when the ball hits the ground, not great as a one out contested mark.

Easy to shut down and you'll be effectively playing one man short. Brad Miller without the hot wife.

In no way what we need. He is far from the big, tall, contested marking bail out option that Bails has been speaking of. Just another lead up forward, and we have 4 better than him in this role as is.

My memory might be failing me here, but wasn't one of those goals to win a game, but after the siren from a weak free kick?

So he didn't even earn that one.

I don't think he is the type of player we are looking to recruit, but I reckon he is going a bit underrated on this thread.

Nice pair of hands, good on a lead, and great kick for goal. Kicked 50 goals last year as a 22 year old. Had a serious shoulder injury in pre-season this year, and from all reports is taking time to recover.

Yeah, but how would he develop as a defender.

what you've said above could be Tarrants early resume'.

Goes missing, and drops his head far to often to fit the bill at Melbourne. I don't recall ever seing Anthony play well in a losing team, and IMO that's exactly the sort of player we should be avoiding as we build our list for the future. Anyway, as others have pointed out, he is not the big KPF that most people think we need.

Doesn't do anywhere near enough. A nice kick for goal, and that's it.

Plus he's just another medium-sized forward. And we don't need his ability to defend.

 

No. He's not big enough, strong enough or good enough to play in our best 22.

I have issues with the size of his forehead. It is just abnormally large. That concerns me.

Also, he's not very good.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • 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.
