    If nothing else should be able to 'cut' the opposition to pieces

    Brad Harvey (who is training with us) is probably the best remaining young player imo.

    Josh Walker, Jamie Solly, Callum Sinclair and Jonathan Giles are the other ones that interest me the most.

    No, I'm serious.

    There was a kid in the draft called Jack Frost. Tall forward.

    Had some promise.

    Unless he was picked already & I didn't notice...

    I thought you were being humorous.. there really is a Jack Frost (some parents,...honestly)

    Sandy Dragons - Bomber supporter

    going by his BIO ,needs a bit of work on his game.

    Looks tho he was overlooked.

    Really is a lottery for a rookie with so many and any number 1 or 2 could end up being a gem.

    I'm sure they have done their homework for our remaining vacant rookies.

    I'm on Tom Mac to be retained (shows promise) just seems a waste not to give him another season.

    I'm still hopeful on Scott Simpson

    Only because I think we can use someone with

    some vigour on the forward line

    Same applies on the backline, need for a toughnut

    down back.

    I havent forgotten, Tapscott, if he can step up

    I think he looks like he could run through a brick wall.

    "Hungry" Jack,,, which one?

    Maybe we could get some action, sponsorship action?

    I'd be happy if we can acquire Jackson Sketcher or Brad Harvey.

    The former joint-winner of the TAC Cup league b&f and captain of sandringham.

    Have you seen Jackson play?

    Only once.

    Wasn't paying much attention to him in particular at the time.

    So you've seen him play once and you think we should recruit him>?

    Move over Barry Prendergast I think we have found your replacement.

    Rookie list, genius.

    Got any better suggestions?

    You don't usually offer much, so I'd be surprised if you do.

    Yes he is training with us.

    All I can say is that you must be more hopeful than Simpson is himself because he's taking the year off VFL to see if he can get his body right at his local club.

    That just killed it

    He must be in a bad way. i thought maybe they told him to lay low

    for the 2nd part of the season.

    Of course, he could be foxing but I think that would be highly unlikely.

    Would have to agree, he didnt show that much, to warrant going to all

    this trouble to keep him under the radar.

    Too bad for him and us, Could have used a big strong body.

    But on the bright side, it gives Cook, Howe,Fitzpatrick a better chance

    to do their stuff as forwards, with Casey.

    He won't be rookied by us. Tom Mac still a chance.

    I wouldn't mind if we picked Jaryd Atkinson - ex essendon. We may need a bit more pace on tha backline and he's got tons.

    I also like what i've seen of Cameron Johnston. He can run and kick - very handy skills at 181cms.

    • 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.
