Past it..he's 27. I doubt GC would sign a player past their prime.

    Point taken there. But you get my drift with Bock. he's in prime central.

    I really think his best is well and truly gone.

    Just my opinion.

    Let's just say he aged terribly for an AFL player.

    Bock will probably prove me wrong on the GoldCoast.

    That thing with bashing his missus must have taken a toll and it's probably good to get out of Adelaide.

    I'm looking at him purely from a footy perspective. I'd actually forgotten all that off field carp until you then mentioned it. He still has much to offer. He's not over the hill by a long shot either. Bit of knee trouble this year which kept him out then the GC stuff.

    On a positive note he fills a need and he's from the GC where selections are scarce. :P

    HT - the word is that Bock's shot. Gold Coast wanted to back out of the deal but couldn't because the offer was on the table before his injuries surfaced. Good luck to him.

    Could be wrong of course

    Will check back later, if there is nothing I'll PM old55 with my selection(s) - will be away from access tomorrow.

    Cotchin, good choice HT.

    If I didnt reach for Martin, he was my last 'want' at the tiges.

    Not a lot left there.

    Roger dodger!

    Was on here when HT chose Swallow but has done a runner!

    God, I just wanna get through this

  • Quote

    Good choice D Nutz, I was hoping he might get to pick 80 - wishful thinking I guess.

    Cotchin, good choice HT.

    If I didnt reach for Martin, he was my last 'want' at the tiges.

    Not a lot left there.

    Agree.

    Will be off-line until tonight, keep the picks coming...:)

    Hansen is a good get, I was very keen to have him and didn't think he'd go so soon.

    Will have a very good 2011.

    Looks like I'll have to get my Roos and Tigers early.

    I think he will too. His glimpses in 2010 were very impressive.

    Has all the attributes, just needs confidence and consistency.

      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.
