Today during the media conference to farewell Presti, Pies Footy Manager Geoff Walsh tipped a bucket on Anthony. He said that Anthony was selected this year 7 times and dropped after 5 of his games. He then said that "any club looking to fix their problems by recruiting Anthony should be careful" or words to that effect.

I have never before heard a club official speak that way about a departing player, I thought the comments were amazing. They must really dislike Anthony. The question is why?

We have been trying to tell everyone.

He is an arrogant wuckfit and I have complete confidence that he won't be the first list management mistake under Bailey.

Bizarre bad form.

Not least of all that would be disrespectful to Presti, who the media conference was supposed to be about, no?

And that is the case whether Jack Anthony is a complete criket's tossbag or not

Good! It just cheapens his price. Could be a rookie posting. I see him as a Potential,,,,mobile defender, who can sneak forward. As a rookie, we'd be able to see how he's going without too much outlay.

Remember Tarrant was a troubled & inconsistent tall mobile forward who left & went to defence. I wonder if Anthony has the same in him. It may just be worth a rookie punt.

i wouldn't write someone off after one club. 2 clubs yes, but not after one. There may have been people at the Filth Anthony did not like, then Dawes took his spot.

So in his mind, mid year he thinks "i gotta get out of here" He is not going to put in 100% for Collingwood again-Human Nature, happens with people at work all the time. All i hope is that DB & the Footy Dept have a chat with him-what happens after that............who knows.

Exactly.

Thats what the rookie draft is for, to sort through the Not quite right types with talent, & see if any, or which ones are of interest. I'm ambivalent to him, won't bother me either way, but he has at least some talent to work with.

We should have rookied Andrew Lovett last year then. :wacko:

Thank god the FD has a few more scruples than shown here.

While the CFC statements are unusual and questionable.

Anthony was a one trick pony and has been exposed on the footy field as a definite NQR.

And what has been known for sometime is that he has both attitude and cultural issues.

And for a Club that houses Swan, Beams, Didak, Shaw and co with all their off field traits the comments by CFC should be ringing the alarm bells louder.

Caveat Emptor should be in bold and lights

I was waiting for your stamp of approval, RR. Didn't take long!!

We don't need an Andrew Lovett. We need a good solid Target who kicks Goals, thus JA is worth having a chat to. DB said it himself.

Lots of people haven't worked out yet that DB has a dry sense of humour. He did say JA was worth looking at but he also said he was shocked at the Bruce decision. There might have been a touch of sarcasm in those pronouncements.

Clearly missed by some.

And given he is questionable on the field performances are backed by off field issues I am sure DB is on the phone to him now.

he is also my least favourite Wiggle

Post of the week. Well done.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
