The big Gawnius Maximus..... Yeh must have been a mighty bad hammy tear! By the time he fully recovers from that and then builds up his fitness, he probably won't be considered for selection till halfway through the year i reckon....

I thought he said he was ready to play for the vfl in 10 days or so. If so it will be a case of him getting continuity in his game, then hopefully press for senior selection. If we can get a full year out of gawn it will be a huge bonus.

Don't forget grimes and garland were down for a year with serious foot injuries but eventually got back to afl standard.

I'm disappointed too, but I see a couple of positives as well: 1) Jack Hannath's disappiontment is clear evidence of a special type of bond developing at our footy club, the likes of which I doubt

This is a superb moment capturing the emotion as Hannath is told he'll be playing AFL next year, but not with the Dees: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/tabid/8667/contentid/509476/default.aspx W

Off LT injury list this Friday apparently, so must be close to some (Casey) game time.

Does anyody know whether there is anybody let on our LTIL? Supplementary question: Is there any mechanism to promote Magner or Couch until there is?

It used to depend on how many veterans we have on our list, but I'm not sure if they changed the rules on that. Last year we only had Brad Green as an "outside list veteran" (or whatever it was called), and as we were allowed 2, it meant that we could promote a rookie based on that.

That's probably as clear as mud, but I'm sure it will refresh someone's memory on here so that they can expand for you!

It used to be for every veteran you have less than 2 you could upgrade a rookie. As we only had green we could upgrade someone. I think that has now changed. Now you have 40 senior list spots and 4 rookie spots or you can have 38 an 6 or 39 and 5. If you have less than 40 you can upgrade someone. We have the full 40. Tigers decided to have 38 and stack their rookie list with recycled players. Hence Petterd and Stephenson get upgraded.

I think they still have the rule that one Rookie can be upgraded at round 11.

But as far as I know we won't have anyone able to be upgraded without a long term injury until then. Which hurts if you are Magner but is a good thing for Viney, m jones and toumpas. I'm not convinced Magner is a true AFL talent but we need someone in the guts to help jones, Mackenzie, Sylvia Rodan and trengove around in close.

Since we did miss out on him, he will probably be a star.

At least we tried to get this one Redleg.

He will not be another D.......

Sorry just cannot bring myself to type it.

He hasn't exactly starred but like Max Gawn he seems to play footy the right way. Haven't been totally convinced he'll be a great forward option but he moves well enough that you could play him in tandem.

Put it this way I'd rather have him as the third ruck option than Spencer

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
