If we recruit another Cook then someone has been a sheep at the wheel...

    We have managed to miss some picks looking back, getting good players with top ten picks is easy enough. getting the 100% best player at your pick is another thing to get right.

    That's true, but I think that's probably more down to the coach in the end.

    They'd be involved with the interviews of the kids at the pointy end of the draft, and I'd assume they make the final decision.

    My read is that the Recruiting Manager makes sure they gather as much pertinent info as they can, to make the most informed decision.

    With these kids, the info will be there anyway.

    Neeld seems to have had a fairly large part in selecting the kids in the 2011 draft (Taggert's letter) and I'd expect that to continue.

    Yep I'd call that no experience in recruiting AFL players. What would you call it?

    Thanks for avoiding my point which is someone learning on the job rather than a tried and proven candidate.

    i love supporters who think we can just go out and get whoever we want..like everyone is just dying to come to our club..... I am sure steven wells wants to leave the success of Geelong to come to us...as for Pelchen, why wouldn't he leave a role that has him in charge of everything football at St. Kilda to be a national recruiter answering to Viney and having to go and watch 3-5 footy matches every weekend.

    whilst we are at it....why didn't CS call CGU and get them to sponsor us, i'm sure they would have left the filth for us, Also if we had asked Chris scott to coach us this year he would of come...

    Underwhelmed.

    No experience. A good bloke who has worked with some school teams and ammos. I should have applied.

    Haven't we learned anything? We keep going for rookie coaches and staff like Mahoney etc who learn on the job. We are more desperate than that. We need someone who can tell us what the elite clubs are doing. At least Neeld and Craig can do that.

    What about Pelchen or the Geelong guy?

    you gotta start somewhere, every great coach, administrator had a first job in the big leagues

    give the poor fella a chance before you bag him out

    Uhh, you realise this guy is essentially just a spotter, right? This is essentially an entry-level position in to the footy industry for those who don't have a passage in through playing. All the clubs have lots of guys on the payroll like this, both full time and part time, including ours. There's a guy who used to be a regular on Demonland that made his way in to the footy industry this way. The "tried and proven" candidates all have better jobs.

    Asking for Pelchen or "the Geelong guy" to fill this role would be like asking for George Calombaris to apply for the role of kitchen hand.

    "Lamb choice cut for Dees"

    Ugh, who's the funnyman writing these puntastic titles for these articles, Ugly Dave Gray?

    Can't be UDG. No mention of his mother-in-law.

    Q. What's the difference between the Melbourne Herald Sun and the New Zealand Herald?

    A. The Melbourne Herald Sun runs an article with the heading "Lamb travels across the Tasman to check out talented New Zealanders"...

    And players that can kick the bloody thing well. I'm sick of our blokes that continually shank it.

    Lamb Nee'ds to search out amongst the farming community, if he's to find players who can kick like a Mule, or has bite, like a Crocodile.

    • 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.
