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.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
