I dont mind th eidea/concept of a Byrnnes type. I think too many people are shooting for the moon.

Currently we're just the other side of crap. We arent going to turn into a take-on-all -killer type for a few seasons yet. Theres a path to this and it will be paved with many a 2-3 year stint of deccent capable journeymen types. They will fill a role, then move on...and the next comes in or is developed from within etc.

This cat could do a role quite well. Certainly combine well with a few others to fire up the middle and get some good decisions happening out of the midfield.

He's not stellar....but hes pretty bloody good on his day

    Bit like Scotland at Carlton, not a star but they certainly got a lot of value out of him since he crossed over from Collingwood. It's amazing how a change of scenery can make a player perform so much better, especially if he is a bigger cog in a smaller engine.

    That's the one, where Murphy finished around 5th having missed half the season.

    Scotland was 23 when he went to Carlton, not 28. Hardly apples and apples.

    Byrnes!!! Sneaky goals!!!

    Sweet, he will add sorely needed experience and make a big difference to our side in the short term.

    Finally landed a 28 year old forward pocket that wasn't in the best 22 in a team that finished 7th and no one else was after them. What a steal.

    If I may balance post, I'm happy enough because he'll play that position better than anyone we currently have.

    Happy with this pick up.

    Experience, pace and comes from a good culture.

    Just the type of player we need n the short term. Look forward to what he can bring to the table!

    Yeah, he will play it better than no-one.

    Because that is who we have had play small forward this year.

    he will be an ideal pick up for us as we don't have any small, fast, crubing forwards and he ticks everyone of those boxes :) he brings a large amount of experience (dual preiership player) and he is also coming from a winning culture which is an invaluable trait and he can hopefully give our young players an idea of what they have to put in to make it at this level!

    He's like an un-freakish Moorcroft. Oh well, didn't lose much.

    we didn't lose anything, unrestricted free agent

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
