This bloke was the best thing to come out of Tigerland until he cut his hair. Similar to Chance Bateman in this way.

Worth a rookie spot?

Yes? No?

    Absolutely not. Have watched him very closely. Offers nothing.

    We've spent five years trying to get rid of average players (with a few more to come). Why did you say this?

    Perhaps if he adds a Lynden Dunnesque mostache it might be worth looking at.

    Agreed! Haha

    Can we get Cale in for a pre-season transplant?

    Edit: Sorry Cale.

    When you are as small as him you have to be really good to make it.

    I am afraid he is not really good.

    No way. We have our own 'never-quite-theres' - we dont need any more.

    struggled at VFL level when his career at tigerland was in jeopardy, tells me he doesn't have the desire or hunger for it

    a massive NO from me

    I wouldn't go for him but he has talent. He is not a list clogger etc...I have seen him play 2 or 3 games and he is definielty not a dud.

    Agree he's not a dud. He's got a good football brain, reasonable skills and tons of courage. He's just too little and gets smashed too often. If he stays in AFL he will get killed one day.

    Not for us

    He's not a dud. He's just another kid who can run & catch & kick, but who will never be a consistent league footballer courtesy of his size.

  • Quote

    Apropos of other news late today, I've always thought of Nason as being Richmond's equivalent to Addam Maric. Similar size*, similar role, similar output and now similar outcome.

    *Note - my assessment of size is purely visual. If stats say different, so be it.

    I would have said David Rodan was the best thing to come out of Tigerland. I never understood why they dropped their one legitimate match-winning player.

    • 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.
