No, not yet. They are early stages in their development. I would expect they will play in a number of positions just like nearly every bloke who has come through the VFL to AFL.

And could you please use caps, commas and tidy up your grammar FFS. I promised I'd never rip someone on this but it does my head in. Are you Wayne Brittain??

grammar i can understand sometimes, but caps and commas? sheeesh!

    OK we'll make it easier to undertsand. Cook & Fitz will neeed to develop their games before either can hold down a key position and that's not going to be this year by which time Fev will be gone.

    If you don't think there is something for a young forward to learn from playing with Fev you haven't been paying attention.

    Agreed. Put em either side of the Fev and tell em to "Watch and learn".

    As long as they're only learning what the Fev's doin ON the field and not off it! :rolleyes:

    Have to agree to disagree, I think havin Fev there will only stunt there growth and exposure to the big boys

    I just think being the main target and getting the ball kicked to you more often will help than sitting next to Fev and learning

    Would love a report on the other Dees playing

    +1

    If we didn't have anyone else to kick goals I'd say there might be some merit in getting Fev in order to give Casey some structure and make it easier for our developing forwards, but we're going to have guys like Newton, Martin, Petterd, Bate, Dunn and even Spencer up forward in addition to Howe, Cook, Fitz, etc.

    As a side issue and I'm not sure if this has been picked up before or commented on, but on the Casey list is one Ryan Pendlebury. Yes, he is the brother of Scott. A mate of mine met him by chance a few days back and it turns out the Pendlebury's were (are??) Dees supporters.

    If Ryan can turn out to be half as good as his brother, I trust the MFC keep a close eye on him.

    Bio data as follows:

    Height: 189cmWeight: 85kg

    DOB: 02/08/92

    Club: Gippsland Power (Vic)

    Bio: A strong midfielder who is the brother of Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury. Has great skills and showed them off while running around with TAC Cup Gippsland Power in 2010.

    In his own words

    What type of player are you?

    I can win my own ball, play as a big or a small and I have a good left-foot kick.

    Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?

    Scott Pendlebury, my brother. I'm the same sort of player and I watch him every week and base my game around what he does.

    What are your strengths as a footballer?

    Good kick, good decision maker, clean hands, good vision and awareness.

    What parts of your game would you like to improve?

    To become more consistent and turn my bad games into average games. I also want to improve my kicking on my opposite foot.

    x 2.

    And after seeing Fevola's efforts in the easy win over Frankston, I would have thought there is also alot not to learn from Fevola on the ground.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
