Is it posing a rhetorical question?

2009 by a mile---however I think in the next few years ,our picks for 2010 will really surface- Cook, Howe,Troy Davis, Tom McDonald, Jordie McKenzie & Jake Spencer were added to the senior list..The rookie list picks is also a ripper including- Evans, Nicholson, the exciting Lawrence, Johnston, Campbell-Newton and McNamara making up the rest...we surely cannot complain with recruiting over the latest few years under Prendergast.

    His hands are outstanding and the marks he took today were great. The 2 goals were very handy. Definitely a future player for us and we havent seen him take a trade mark screamer yet.

    Is he a chance for the rising star nomination this week?

    Menzel got the nod this week, but I like Howie's chances before season's end (not that it's worth much anyway!)

    I must admit I wasn't overly enthused initially when we drafted Howe. "Why take a mature age, midsized forward that nobody's heard of with an early pick" I wondered to myself. Shows how little I know! :rolleyes:

    He has been fantastic. Still a long way to go, but he possesses the tools to make it. Pretty much puts an end to Bate's career at Melbourne.

    Wasn't he pick 30? Hardly early.

    Word was that the Pies had flown Howe over in secrecy for a clandestine workout.

    We were into him and got wind of their interest, so pounced earlier than originally intended.

    Glad we did.

    He didn't like their facilities.

    Doesn't like the idea of trekking over crumbled rocks on a 45 degree slope in Arizona either...too risky, could do a PCL/ACL...oops sorry Browny, Mick & Eddie.

    Good for the red blood cells though...

    And a Patella too.

    Makes the LBrown pick a couple of years back a genius stroke.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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?
