The ink hasn't even dried on Gram's termination letter yet. Anyone who thinks there is any possibility whatsoever of him playing in the AFL next year, has no idea how dim a view AFL clubs take on players who have been sacked for behavioural problems. Especially when they're in their late 20s and not in the top class of player. His career is over.

    Thats a good point but fev was the biggest tard of the lot, and he got a couple of chances.

    Gram will certainly be frowned upon, but i think he still has got some good footy ahead of him.

    particularly if he gets his [censored] together.

    No to speculate too much but he was dropped I think Rd 22 or 23 last year because he breached his restraining order or AVO with this girl and St Kilda were notified and thus suspended him. Been suspended since.

    Now the second breach, he's not just looking at no AFL club he could be a serious chance of a conviction if not jail time.

    I see gram as an older, more experienced Farewn Ray. Both provide run off HB, we loose nothing to get him

    I've heard that Jacobs will put down north as preferred club.

    Gram or Josh toy both good kicks and will add to our list.

    Weedon could be a look.

    Can you explain to me how Jacobs nominating North means that we can't pick him if we have a pick before them?

    It doesn't, but at the same time he is no standout, and there are players ahead of him in the draft and on the trade pile, so why bother picking someone who doesn't want to be at the club?

    Sam Lonergan for sure. A hard nut ball winner. Cheap. A mate whos an essendon supporter cannot believe it.

    I think his cousin Jess Lonergan will be snapped up early in the draft. Wont effect us as we wont have any picks.

    Don't worry about the listed players. I'd be re-drafting Jai Sheahan kids of his size, ability, & attitude don't grow on trees! Don't let that one go!

    Cruize Garlett (NM) 23, 32 Pacy midfielder with neat skills who is handy around goals. Too many similar types at North; could thrive if given a starting role.

    Sounds like a good fit for the MFC to be honest.

    Only downside is we have a habit of always taking the sh#t brother.

  • Quote

    I would look at Garlett and Schneider (highly rated by some Hawks fans I trust).

    Lonergan is to Essendon what Petterd was to MFC. People remember the 5 good games he played not the 45 mediocre ones.

    sam lonergan is a close mate of mine I went to school with him in tassie. He is the most dedicated person I have ever met and he will provide toughness at the contest and never shirk a contested ball situation. Someone who works his butt off and can kick goals when he goes forward. For mine he is a perfect pick up and thats not because I am biased but I believe he can offer us a lot.

    We don't know that he doesn't want to be at the club. All we know is that he has expressed a preference for North Melbourne in much the same way as Mitch Clark initially expressed a preference for Fremantle a little over a year ago. If he's available under our draft system, we have every right to go after him if we're interested.

    Neeld would have a good look at Lonergan you would think.

    As soon as I said that I was waiting for that comment. I agree if we want him we would have no qualms picking him up, I just don't think that he is anything special, having said that I've only seen little footage, and now I've said it what's the bet he turns out to thrive under a new location

    Sheahan wont be re-drafted by the Dees, its over. Got that on good authority.

    I thought he was worth another year,he had more upside than Cook.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
