    He would be better off holding Gillies hand as he can't play either. Pedersen at least has shown a bit especially at Casey.

    Gillies will be gone Redleg he is only on a one year deal.

    Pity Byrnes was not on the same.

    Amazing we made such an effort to get three players for Casey.

    I suppose we are helping our team develop players

    Being brutal, I can see Byrnes, Gillies, Jetta, Bail, MacDonald, Davey and possibly Sellar and Strauss leaving/retiring and maybe Jamar being traded. I think Pedersen stays another year as he is contracted for 2 more.

    Byrnes I would pay out and offer him a year at Casey playing/coaching.

    If we were offered a mid for Tapscott I could see him going.

    I think we will make at least 8 changes to the senior list.

    This is getting really serious Redleg, I am in total agreement again.

    Davey and Macdonald are past it and the rest never where.

    I forgot Troy Davis, but I think they will keep him for another year. He is a big strong boy who is hard at it and if he can improve his kicking, is a chance.

    After all the agreement of earlier today Redleg trouble is on the horizon.

    Davis's kicking ability will go the same way as Mckenzie, Nicholson and G Mac.

    IMO poor kickers generally stay that way.

    Average kicks can etch out an AFL career poor ones do not.

    Replace them with players who can kick, they just break your heart and keep you anchored in the bottom half of the competition.

    we have to kick this habit of nursing bad-kickers til we eventually off load them anyway.

    Dont draft anyone who cant bloody kick!!

    I guess bb and Redleg when you get to the point in the draft when Nicholson, Mckenzie and Davis were selected you are getting to the bottom of the barrel. They would not be high / Rookie picks if they were perfect.

    If Mckenzie was a good kick he would have gone in the first round.

    If only he could kick!!!!!!!

    But the thing I simply dont get is how ANYONE gets to the point of being in the draft, being considered for AFL ( the highest level of the game ) and cant f'n kick a ball. How does this occur

    An analogy being a stool, surely kicking is one of the legs, without which it falls over.

    The same thing makes me wonder too bb.

    However I think it has a lot to do with the size of the player pool required for the AFL level now.

    With the addition of two new teams we have had to find a min. of another 80 players.

    IMO these players would not have made the cut in years gone by.

    IMO the talent pool is now stretched too far.

    That is one factor. Another is the difference between kicking per se and kicking under pressure. I suspect the latter is a lot more difficult.

    Watch Davis at training R & B IMO he is no better then than on game day.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
