    From the Collingwood Football Club site's pen pictures of its VFL listed players:-

    Tom Couch

    No. 56

    17/06/88

    177 cm 79 kg Recruited from Grovedale/Geelong (VFL)

    Son of Paul Couch (1989 Brownlow Medallist) from Geelong. Playing over in Adelaide for a few seasons before returning to Melbourne. A solid midfielder.

    At that height he would need to have all of his father's attributes - ball winning ability, good user of the footy and a bit of pace. He played well for the Pies v Casey in mid season but wasn't particularly fast and, at his height, that makes it hard for him.

    The more impressive Collingwood VFL top up player who played in the midfield was Tom Sundberg, winner of their b & f. He is 183cm and a more likely draftee.

    Of course, Mark Neeld would be familiar with both players. I wonder if Sundberg was invited to train as well?

    We have several players whom stripped today along with our draftees. I could only identify one - Fletcher Robnerts who kicked 5 goals to seal the Under 18's grand final this year. I expect the AFL to list the players later today or tomorrow.

    Is he about 10kg, there was a guy training that I thought was one of the rabbits we are using to pace our players but then joined in when the footy's came out.

    If he ends up in the AFL, I can't wait for the call from the crowd when he screws up.

    Because under the AFL rules, GWS doesn't need to get permission for anything.

    Gee WJ - I'd watch what you say re the AFL. You know that several AFL employees read our site and you don't want Andrew on your back. However, I don't doubt you would handle him with aplomb.

    Actually, until today, I didn't realize how many MFC employees read our site!

    That doesn't mean we can't pick him up - although they will have a pick before us.

    Fletcher Roberts - 3/6/93,195,84. Kicked 5 goals in the GF, missed a couple of sitters. Inside Football - "... an exciting player with a great football brain. He is a great decision maker, who hasn't had a preseason due to cricket commitments at Melbourne Grammar. Can play both ends in a Leigh Brown type role."

    Thanks for the warning jayceebee31.

    I'm truly shivering in my boots concerning the revelation about having Demetriou on my back.

    Should I hire a bodyguard?

    • 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.
