See Danny Hughes is on the list of "Pemission to Train" with the Doggies.

Have to hand it to Danny. He won't die wondering! Good luck to him!

    He deserved a couple more years on a rookie list. Hasn't had enough!

    Trying to break the record for the lowest years-on-list-to-senior-matches-played ratio? If they draft him that will make it year number 5.

    If i remember correctly, he played quite well against the doggies this year, in one of his two matches.

    Good luck to him. His talent is certainly around the mark - it's not like he doesn't have it.

    But every time he strings together a few games he gets injured. I would think he'd be over the constant injuries, realise that his body might not be designed for AFL and step down a level. But good on him for persevering.

    Good Footballers should excel at VFL level

    He doesnt and its why he along with hundreds of others play only a few games at AFL level (some don't play any)

    I wish anyone who has a go the best of luck but this game at AFL level isn't a walk up start like it was 40 years ago

    Hughes has always been excellent at VFL, when fit. Unfortunately, that wasn't often enough.

    I've been a fan of his and wish him all the best... good luck Danny!

    Good luck to the guy - just didn't quite make it.

    Cannot question his determination though.

    Not necessarily there have been a lot of footballers who find the VFL level too scrappy and not to their liking but have dominated at AFL level purely because there is more space and it is quicker so they can use their talents instead of being stuck in the VFL ... (Just this year a lad by the name of Medhurst was stuck there too long and it ruined his career)

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Exactly my thoughts, Master. He really seemed good enough to me to be a proper AFL player , if only he wasn't injured all the time.

    I'd love it if he got another go, and admire whoever picked him for recognising his talent. But we gave him a pretty good go.

    • 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.
