Haha, well, didn't see that coming. Surely he pays his own way back from Darwin now!

    Fremantle's just grabbed Jack with pick 8 in the PSD. What now?

    You don't take a player for revenge, you do it because he fills a need and you rate him.

    Disappointing.

    Absolutely, but we may have removed any gentlemanly reluctance on thier part to shaft us with the events of last year.

    And they had a pick to use before we did, thems the brakes.

    Some seem to think we will chase a small forward so that is basically one of the northern territory kids

    I really doubt we will add to the mature age brigade seeing as we already have Magner still on the Rookie List

    Will be interesting and will look forward to Venom Denham making absurd and negative remarks no matter who we pick

    Don't think it will be only Monsieur Denham .... he will always find a few mates on this board, who bag the club whatever decisions they make.

    But, FWIW, I agree that they may punt on an indigenous quick small forward.

    Taken by Freo at pick 8 in the PSD.

    Revenge for Mitch?

    Exactly what I thought

    Or maybe just focusing on building a list with talented players, with scant regard for what plans other clubs may have?

    Not sure how he'd go as a forward though.

    Time for Gawn to prove some potential. Relying on the best rookie ruckman to come along and save our backsides is a concern although I admit these stories do eventuate.

    Currently I relate Max Gawn to knee injuries and comedy.

    I recall we rated Heath Hocking too but the Bombers rookied him before we had the chance. These things happen.

    Aint that the truth.

    Right know I rate him 4th or 5th in line for the main gig.

    Thinks can change quickly.

    But two knee reco's before you are 20 is not a good start.

    Maxy may never play another game for the dees but could still be the most influential player of the decade.

    It took me a few seconds but I and many others are with you on that.

    What we should have done was draft Jack Hannath in the National Draft and rookied Matt Jones...

    It hasn't taken long for some armchair amateur experts to outthink our professional recruiters...but I guess it always happens.

    Ah, ain't hindsight wonderful. Remind me again how many clubs overlooked James Hird and Chris Grant, not just once but multiple times.

    PS By the way, good luck to Jack at his new club.

    Yes it is a bit of a shame how that happened. The kid was genuinely upset that he did not join us after bonding over the last few weeks.

    he'd be spewing if that were the case :unsure:

    Interesting that the boys got around him and wished him all the best.

    This is a healthy culture - the players are responding and working hard.

    Mark Neeld is putting so many good structures into place and I can't wait for 2013.

    Incidentally, Stef Martin will play 5 or 6 games with Lions before he gets dropped to the QAFL. Scoop.

    Not happy. I really hope nobody (fans that is) takes it out on the kid if he plays against us next year. Sounds like he was shattered not to be coming to the Dees, but he's got a spot on a primary list, so best of luck to him. It has to be pretty hard to have his plans changed like that with no warning.

    OK, I'm starting to think you might be a [censored] bloke, which isn't part of a healthy culture.

    Sorry diesel, won't bite, won't get involved with your belittling comment.

    You want to talk footy? Stef Martin was a poor player on a poor list that got cheap games.

    Agree 100%. It is not as if he chose to "escape a tanking club" for more money to go to.......LOL!!!

    Don't think anyone would take it out on him, he was never officially a MFC player. More likely people will feel sorry for him having to wear purple, poor guy. He looked devastated on the AFL website after learning he had to go to Freo.

    • 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.
