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.


Some really intelligent player assessments here.

Some mothers do have em!


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.

  • 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.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    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.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
