We should seriously look at Ben Mckinley. Was a leading goal kicker at the eagles until Lecras found his feet. Struggled this year at North because of Petrie, but would be a nice fit in our forward line starved of opportunites??

HF: Howe , Watts, Sylvia

F: Jurrah, Mckinley, Petterd...... doesn't look too bad

 

Another mid-sized forward, yep, just what we need!!

This dude's name springs up this time every year on Demonland.

Agree with brocky we don't need another mid-sized forward we already have plenty that offer far more than McKinley ever will see Howe, Petterd, Sylvia, Green.

 

we've got a player already on our list who plays a similar role to McKinley, only they will end 4x the layer McKinley ever will and will play in many more positions. That man is Jeremy Howe.

Fevola sounds better to me.

 

B Grader at best.

No way.

Wow, some contradictions in here. Struggled because of Petrie? What, a tall marking fwd? were there no crumbs to feed off? We would kill to have a Petrie that our crumbers could feed off.

And this, our fwd line is starved of opportunities - great. Get McKinley so he wouldn't have any opportunities at the Dees.

PLease engage brain before typing.

Surely thats why we drafted COOK! He's the bloke who should be FF/CHF moving forward, not some B grader trying his luck at a third club.



I don't think it was 200cm Petrie keeping 185cm McKinley out of the Roos team. More like Aaron Edwards. I don't think that's a great formline.

He's a beautiful kick for goal, but not much else I think. As others have said, we have several other players who play a similar role to McKinley far better than him.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
