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

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
