Aussie - would we take him back - it's possible

Featured Replies

he's fit - he's keen to play - he seems very happy within himself, and looking at the stats for his season up north - why not.

just thought I would throw it in as we seemed to have interesting thoughts on Buckley, here's another one.

 

Not much of an appetite for hard work Aussie.

Spent the whole time at Melbourne above his ideal playing weight. Came back from each of his end of season break in poor condition.

A talented player, who walked out on us. Would I take his lazy oversized butt back?

No.

Obviously another player the club failed to develop properly.

 

I loved Aussie as much as the next bloke, but all I hear is about his lack of work ethic...so no.

The bloke had more than enough chances and continually shat in the face of the very club trying to help him. NO.


How 'bout no Scott!

 

young fella had a hard time of it really. a bit more mature now, knows what it is all about. if he is fit, keen and willing to do what is required why not give him a chance as a rookie again?


Yes he's keen but good luck see how keen he is when pre season ramps up.

Big No would not flourish under our new serious training regime

I'm pretty sure he said in a recent interview he didn't want to come back.

He has left a big hole in the forward line as the small forward (pun intended).

Yeah I think it was an interview with Josh Mahoney a month or two ago, should be on the MFC site somewhere. Said something like that he didn't miss training, wasn't interested in playing, something like that.

He was in Melbourne at the time for some sort of mentoring/school thing.

Edit: Found the video.

Hell no! He was [censored] when he was fit. He played 2 good games ever! He'll be the worst player on any list if he is picked up.


I saw him play against the Brisbane Lions Reserves team in the NEAFL final a few weeks ago. He kicked two goals in two minutes late in the second term to bring the Thunder within a few goals at half time but did very little else for the rest of the game. Looked fitter than I expected but still some way off AFL standard. I don't think he wants it.

he's fit - he's keen to play

Stopped reading here.

He comes from the same school on fitness as Brendan Fevola and I.

He's had a tough time and AFL isn't for everyone. If he wants to make it back then I say he should return to the VFL/SANFL/WAFL and we keep an eye on him, but I don't think he does.

Now there's an idea. Fevola!!!!!!!!

Getting desperate now aren't we ?

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
