I think we're all clutching at straws.

How about we bring them all down to AAMI park and play jack in the pack, whoever ends up with the ball gets the gig.

Yes we are. Truth is, none of them are any good.

Hearing Paul Hamilton just a second ago on SEN radio...

Apparently both Neagle & Atkinson have both shown over their 10 days of preseason so far, that their training standards are not up to scratch.

I didn't catch the name, but they were given 2 days to improve their attitude & intensity and one of the players didn't even bother showing up to training the next day.

Definitely not what we want at our club.

It was Atkinson. He walked away from football when he found out he needed to train harder.

Neagle will keep training with Essendon in the hope of a rookie list spot.

    With Neagle we would be getting another Miller.

    That is an insult to Miller.

    Anthony is the only player that has achieved anything of note at AFL level. So if we were to go after someone IMO it should be him. Can also play down back unlike Thorp or Neagle.

    Also can people stop saying that Anthony is the same size as our other forwards such as Green. Brad is 184cm 83kgs and plays way above his size(brilliantly I might add), whilst Anthony is 192cm 92 kgs. A completely different player.

    To paraphrase -

    "It's the fish Scott Clayton rejects, that make Scott Clayton the best..."

    Can't say I'm excited about any of them. For pick 50 something you could do worse than Jack Anthony, he may yet bloom again.

    Probably the only real quality experienced player available is Cameron Bruce, but he wouldn't really suit our needs and wouldn't be around long enough to really help towards a premiership.

    So another year of kids it is.

    This year on Demonland, let's do something novel and entertain the idea of using all four of our draft picks on untried players. This idea is nothing new to the FD, but I'm just hoping that one day, just maybe, it might catch on on the forum.

    Do I pass?

    The maths will agree with you.

    John Jack Anthony, but is called jack for some reason

    Personal choice says this quote from the article in the Jack Anthony thread...

    "Honest to the point of abrasive, and with a raft of personality quirks, he was thought by rival recruiters to be uncoachable. Refusing to answer to his birth name John - Jack had a better ring to it - he struggled to find his niche at the club."

    He's called Jack becausae he has Jackshit chance of playing for Melbourne

    Or the fact Jack is "short" for John, the way Dick is short for Richard and Harry is short for Henry.

    Sad news about Atkinson. i thought he showed something. He has terrific pace and could have filled the small defenders role. Maybe he needs a good role model like Davey.

    I think Essendon are just giving Neagle a kick in the pants, and will look to pick him up as a rookie.

    Their footy manager has said that.

    Houli looks set to go to Richmond via the PSD.

    Atkinson is a list clogger.

    Neagle likewise, but I'd prefer him to Jack Anthony...

    Any interest..?

    (this is a test...)

    Preference for Neagle over Anthony.Your kidding or just a fool.

    • 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.
