    I have some doubt that Tuck has already been offered to train with us.

    Maric is the first player since Miller that I've watched playing for MFC thinking "seriously, this guy can't cut the mustard at AFL level".

    I find it pretty funny Richmond are considering a spot for Maric on their list alongside Miller. Good luck with that 9th spot Richmond, you wear it well. :)

    He's got to be better than Ryan Gamble

    From what I hear Couch was a solid midfielder for the Collingwood VFL side this year. Meat and potatoes mid, gets a lot of it, not quick. His dad was a late bloomer drafted at 21 years of age I believe. Obviously our Collingwood connections know him.

    Insider trading.

    I like the meat and potatoes mid description. If he gets alot of it, I hope he's not carrying a tool shed. :)

    Saucer of milk to the Moderators room please!!

    Thanks.

    Have merged two "Permission to train threads" into one. We'll keep it here in the JT Board (Drafting and Trading Board), seeing it is relevant to this board. Have moved the original from the Message board to here. (JCB's one).

    Cheers.

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that Willy Wheeler is a dead set chance to be rookied by Richmond ... however (my disclaimer) ... he is quite short, about 170cm I think. Unfortunately (in my opinion) gone are the days when football ability was football ability regardless of how tall or short you were. Willy is a GUN!!! Full stop. I watched every game he played this year. I am not a relative or friend of his. Trust me. I just worked for Coburg FC and he is an absolute star footballer, BUT... he is 170cm at best. That is a BIG factor in recruiting and no doubt the only reason he wasn't drafted. But at VFL level he is a brilliant little player and so composed and skilled. 

    I REALLY hope he gets rookied, as I have rarely seen a talent like him as an 18y.o. small boy playing VFL 1's. I hate the fact that height is an issue these days when looking at drafting talented young, players, but unfortunately it is... and yet useless 188+ athletic midfielders with relatively little football ability get snapped up and talked up as the next big thing due to their amazing athletic ability. 

    Anyone remember Diesel Williams? Tony Liberatore? Would hate to think that there is no place for this type of player in modern football.

    Not a big factor in saying you are going out on a limb to say Richmond will pick him up. The Herald Sun nominated it back in July.

    By the way, he is 176 cms tall

    • 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.
