The Paul Medhurst Thread

Featured Replies

 

Small forward, 29 year old that knows the system - I'm not sure....any thoughts?

why was he squeezed out at the Filth? Neeld would know. That said he was ok at the Filth for a while.

Huh? Squeezed out?

Did Mark Neeld say that Melbourne are going to go after seasoned players in the draft, rather than speculate on youngsters? Not saying that I would draft Medhurst, but he semi-fits that profile. Bit old, maybe, hasn't played AFL for a while, but if he nominates I am sure we would look at him. (Before rejecting him.)


NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

a very selfish footballer that is not required at the MFC

Bit unfair. Crumbing forwards are paid to be selfish. They stand or fall on their scoring ability

Oh well - 29 yo crumbing forward who knows the system, expectations, etc etc. I've seen him play some ripper games.

There are no decent alternatives out there, unless the FD sees Jetta fulfilling that role.

He has officially nominated for the draft. You wouldn't think he would nominate unless he has been in some talks with a club.

True - but I remember Yze, Robbo and White doing the same thing........

Medhurst is not one.


I don't mind him.

You might not mind him but he is not a small crumbing forward.

Medhurst is not one.

What is he then?

Correct.... he is a leading forward. Smart footballer - and a good kick - but has never stood front and square ready to dive in and under in his life.

Not an option for us.

He'll fit in perfectly then :)


You,ve got to be joking 29 and past it Maric had more to offer

What is he then?

Read Hoopla's post 19, he has summed it up. He was a good mark for his size and got nearly all his goals from marks.

Brad Dick is a more of a small forward than Medhurst. But he is keen to go back to Perth.

Although I have heard that refrain before...

  • 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.
