    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
