The guy weighs as much as a couple of cats taped together, and when he turns side on i'm not sure you can see him. However, do we just cut our losses and throw him to the wolves Jack Watts style?

Discuss.

No. Let him put some form together in the VFL this season, get a preseason under his belt and then maybe next year throw him in.

If he isn't doing much in the VFL, what is the point in putting him straight into the AFL?

I don't believe he should be in the team for a second.

But also, what's the point in rotating the same 5 or 6 hacks each week who can't be bothered getting a touch.

It really isn't the forward line that is the problem. If the ball isn't going down there, how are they supposed to kick goals?

We'd be better off bringing up players to help in the midfield who could give our forwards some decent use of the footy.

For the near future, though, Cook has no place in the senior team.

Let Cook develop for a couple of years then bring him in if form demands/when his body is the right size for AFL - we already have enough malnourished kids in Watts, Morton, Blease etc


worthless thread - take it to the Locker Room Farce and I'll delete your posts there as required

  • 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.
