I agree i was very keen on him in 09, has battled with injury but showed alot of class on the weekend in an poor side. Get him now while he is cheap. Imagine the forward line...

Aussie Jack Liam

Butcher Cook Petterd

sound good to me.

Have you heard of a guy called Howe from Dodgers Ferry

 

I'm prepared to stick with, Fitzpatrick, Cook and T MacDonald. We only need one of these to come good. Our window is five years away. I see our biggest problem is the mid field. We are well below the top midfield teams
 

With a name like that ,what can you expect .

Hmmm. A fwd that can't kick or get a game at Port.

Got any more suggestions?

Succinct summation of the issue .


I'll just leave this here:

I would get him if we didn't have to give an arm and a leg to get him.

Can't.....

Kick.....

This problem is already endemic....

Should fit right in!
 

I think the guy is definately worth a punt, better off on our list than Bate.

From all reports he has been injured thus only played one game, Anyway his game against the hawks was good.

I cant see why alot of work on the track his kicking cant improve.

197cm Tall contested marking forwards dont grow on trees.

Hes right age and well, the chance to leave port who's future looks gloomy to play for the Dee's next year and a boy from Victoria, I dont think it would be a hard sell.

Good hands.

Seems to be able to sum up the situation fairly quickly too.


I can see our forward line providing the opposition defence many problems. I'd love to see Watts (196), Cook (196), Butcher (197) all in the same forward line. Along with Howe, Petterd and Jurrah who all have big leaps.

10 SANFL games as a key forward for 17 goals. And loads of behinds and OOB on the full. Terrific mark though.

As the worst kicking side in the league the last thing we want is a forward who can't kick....sheeesh!

Thats OK, put him down back. :wacko:

Lol....now now Dee.

He was the one shining light against the Dawks last week. That has to say something. He might need some straightening up but i'm sure they'll work on all that with him.

I've only seen last weeks game, and one game doesn't really mean much, but it was against the Hawks who are doing pretty well. And the you tube vid courtesy Watt & Howe up there.

Love to secure this guy if we can. Maybe we can if Scully ends up getting poached.

Hutchi (on SEN this morning) was saying (tongue in cheek) that he's homesick apparently and wants to come home.

Almost a ready made CHF with a few pre-seasons under his belt. And at worst if we/he couldn't straighten up sufficiently i'd still love to have that contested marking skill and run off the half back line. Maybe our version of Scarlett! :wub:

Yes please for mine.

Butcher today vs dogs.. 6 kicks, 5 marks for 6 goals.. now thats efficiency :)

Gary Lyon made mention of his effort last week on footy classified. So I bet he will be making sure we make a play for him to come to the Dee's. I truely believe he's worth getting.

Looks like hes working on his kicking lol.

Reasonable effort 6 goals from a young bloke who cant kick. Lets not stuff this one if we can get him.

Yep. Not bad at all. In a baskett case team too.

It's early days, but i think his asking price just increased a little.

As the MFC stated at the start of this year (it's major catch cry for all things FD/MFC).......

WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!

B)


I'm sure a team at the foot of the ladder will be dying to offload a player whose shown more promise in two games than the rest of their forward line combined this year. Primus may as well start packing his bags now for him and giving him directions to get to Aami Park.

We didn't really want to offload Scotty Thompson of the Wizard either.

Sh!t happens! :P

 

We are going to have a low draft pick lets offer it.

Plus Bate, Campbell, Spencer and Maric

Please no more skinny choir boys.

I actually think he morally owes port another contract and I hope he stays there.

I think we should see the same moral as GWS use on chasing Scully

and Sydney chasing Sylvia.

The only Moral I want to hear about around the MFC is the one that wins games.

The rest can go jump for mine.

    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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
