    hardly confirmed, looking at that twitter account it comes out of hibernation around trade week, and not always on the mark...

    Did he play anywhere this year?

    Surely would have had to if returning for 2 years.

    Sports news first were spot on with the reliable piece on R Lyon too!

    Half way through the year he started playing with Old Xavs in the VAFA. He didn't set the world on fire. Word has it that the standard of VAFA A Grade is somewhere between VFL 1st and VFL 2nds

    James would be 35-36 now???

    Highly unlikely, it is a very fast game now.

    Junior comes to wagga every week as he buys livestock for someone. Looks in ripper shape and has all year.

    Is he more than happy to talk about his Demon Days?? I hope he is not bitter at all.

    Junior was a gun, a Blue Collar Gun, but all class.

    I would have thought this is very unlikely. They're already in to Luke Power, Chad Cornes and Dean Brogan, I'm not sure how many more already retired players they can handle......

    My old man talks to him a fair bit. Junior said he was disappointed to be let go as he had a fair bit of footy left in him but holds no grudges towards the dees.

    Just heard from my mate whose brother is with GWS that Paul Wheatley, Matty Whelan and Byron Pickett will all be lining up with GWS next year.

    Good, i want Junior to work back at the MFC before too long....He is one we do need to keep, but let him learn a bit from Sheeds first.

    All Helps.

    Alistair Nicholson has been seen to be growing his beard back and ready to take on some gorillas for the Giants as well. Good Luck Nicho!

    No chance.

    Junior is up there with my favourite players to ever wear the Red and Blue but, sadly i watched him play at Elsternwick Park in the A Section prelim final on Sunday and he is very much past it now.

    I hope he doesn't play, i want to remember him as a Melbourne great.

    They are going to be putting him between the big sticks to try and stop the ball getting through. Expect him to see a lot of action.

    Must be April 1st. Must check the calendar.

    Or Google it!

    I'm sure there are more important issues to discuss.

    if by ripper shape you mean very slim/skinny, i'd say you'd be spot on. He has definitely lost a bit of weight from his playing days. He is very light on, too much so imo.

    And they intend to get Natham Carroll as well.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
