As per usual when a player is available or rumored to be available, my thoughts turn to what they'll be able to offer the dees.

Paul Bevan is experienced, honest, tough and versatile. Given the fact we are still such a young team, he's experience and professionalism would not be wasted.

I'd personally love to see him on the list. Thoughts?

Here's what Longmire had to say: "He always set a fantastic example with his fearless attack on the ball and it would be difficult to find a player who went harder at it than him"

    Might be an option for a rookie spot.

    Saw him play live against Ainslie in the Grand Final of the NSW/ACT League.

    The Swans Reserves lost by 9 goals and, er, were not great.

    Bevan didn't elevate himself above the pack in that game...

    Wont play in our defence and I question what he has to add to our FWD line and who else he would hold out.

    If you were talking about a midfielder that could offer something, maybe, but don't think Bevan has much to offer.

    He'd slot into our back line I reckon as the small back pocket. Hate to say it but I rate him ahead of Bartram and Nicholson at this stage. Reckon Nicholson can overtake him though.

    I'd take him.

    Funny how people rate other teams hacks above our own.

    Bevan and Bartram have the same disposal problems...ie. can't hit the side of a barn.

    I'd rather have Urquhart....much more upside.

    Yes, very suprised he got shown the door.

    Ever thought Urquhart is regarded as just that by North ??

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
