dont want another Gary Moorcroft at the dees, ex premiership player riddled by injuries and hardly makes an impact

I wouldn't mind him at Melbourne.

Good insurance for the club should a couple of Jurrah, Petterd, Dunn, Green, Watts etc...go down.

At worst he plays out the season at Casey.

Not really

Most likely he plays out the season at Casey.

At worst he gets (re)injured and doesn't play much

As for insurance, its a bit like saying Juice is insurance for Jurrah

No thanks

Yeah, it's ok, we just drafted 4 talls capable of playing KPF, but I'd rather they get pushed into playing Casey reserves so we can fit the corpse of Ash Hansen into the Casey 1s.

It'll be great for their development.


Interesting that Ash Hansen has been linked to the Demons according to this article.

Other players hoping for a another chance at AFL level include delisted West Coast forward Ash Hansen, who had been linked to Melbourne, and also Melbourne forward Brad Miller.

Had a good old chuckle at that one E25....

C'mon Robbie, there is no link- just a journalist trying to fill space. Absolute crap and he won't be at MFC next year given we have no picks in the PSD and i'm tipping our 6 picks in the rookie draft will be much better spent elsewhere.

comparing him to miller is a stretch, The bloke is a premiership player. You can't take that from him. He is a nice kick of the footy and can take a mark on the lead.

I wouldn't be disappointed if we did pick him up for a touch of experience. Year by year contract for sweet f-all.

I played a year above him as a junior. He never showed much until under 18's

The linkage with the MFC is happening far too frequently for my liking.

It's been reported that it was suggested as early as September by WCE that he should retire because of his history of injuries that kept him to around 20 AFL games in three years (2 in 2010). I admire him for wanting to go on but the fact that he won't cost us much because the Eagles will be picking up most of the tab isn't enough for me.

It would go against the grain of our recruiting philosophy of the past three years to take him i.e we don't take players with question marks about their fitness.

An emphatic pass from me.

I don't rate Hansen very highly but can't see any harm in snaring him with a late rookie selection, for the sake of forward-line depth and not being any risk to the club. Am fairly confident the pickings will be very slim when using the later picks in the rookie draft, courtesy of GWS and GC.


Rejoice!

5 pages does seem ridiculous I must admit ... in the off-season no less. We certainly can't be accused of not being passionate!

The only reason it got to 5 pages is because it is in the off-season.


On this we agree!

Good.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
