If Campbell plays before July I will be very surprised. I think we rolled the dice and have lost on this one. Only a late rookie pick so not much lost I suppose.

Maybe mistaken but I thought Fitzpatrick was 3 - 4 weeks last week!

Old dee, we are building a young team from the bootlaces, out.

Why would we recruit a rookie in his mid too late 20's, if it wasn't foer insurance?

I'm absolutely sure it wasn't with a view of 2014. Our weakness is a mature depth ruckman to backup Jamar, if he were to go down. We wouldn't expect to need him nor want him prior to 1/3 season, at least. And we'll be wanting to give Spencer a few runs here & there. Then back a little bit, will be Gawn.

If Jamar were to be hurt,,, we wouldn't want to place all the load on Spencer. That would be unfair on him, at this stage. So, as a backup, we took a mature rookie. This is not anyway a failure. He may not be able to play a full season with his injury issues.

If we got 6 games out of him a year, when needed, he would have payed his way.

We are well on top of the drafting ledger.

Could not agree more with what you have said.

I was just making the observation that I do not think we have won on this one!

Simple, I do not expect we will win every one, some work others don't

He's not a player to build our list, as harsh & mercinary as that sounds. He's our insurance policy.

He could change that around himself to be a longer term situation. But thats what it is currently.

Fine.

But did anyone laugh at my 'orange' comment?

No?

Oh...

Get a sense of humour then.

Bad news is that Scully's knee isn't responding as we'd like .

Will be out closer to 8 than 3 . :(

Good news is .... He ain't going anywhere .

Gets homesick travelling to Geelong games let alone moving to Sydney . ;)

That's not news.

Everybody knows that a diagnosis of three weeks on the MFC injury list actually means 6 to 8 weeks or more.

Just look at Robert Campbell. A month ago he was only a couple of weeks away from playing and now he's 6 to 8. At that rate he'll be 10 weeks away by the time we get to the bye.

Who's the phantom injury this week?

Pretty sure Campbell was also recruited because he would assist in the development of our young players.

It may have slipped through to the keeper for some, but in his time out of AFL he started up a program developing kids to be more AFL-ready before they get drafted.

I don't think we really intended for him to play (AFL) at all -- the idea was for him to act as an on-field development coach at training & in the VFL.

Even when he can't get out there because of injury, he'd act as a valuable mentor.

A bit like Leigh Newton.

If this was the case, wouldn't they have talked to him before the draft about it? Campbell was on SEN the day after the draft and had NO IDEA what Melbourne were thinking. Weird to draft a guy they had no intention of playing (which I don't believe)

I think it was one of the considerations when drafting him and it could be of benefit to our developing players.

I agree that we wouldn't have drafted with the intention of him never being able to play if required, but he's a damn sight more valuable to us than someone like PJ when he's not fit.

That would've worked heavily in his favour when deciding who to take with that rookie pick.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
