Dominates the VFL but lacks a yard above and below the shoulders at Afl

Level and foot skills which the hawks thought they could fix.

Good decision for us to let him go and when you look at Hawthorns defense it's not a horrible pick up from them.

    Absolutely. He's tough as nails but has no skills.

    Incidentally, Hawks lost to Doggies :P

    I wonder what the last two years will do to the Hawks' psyche?

    I've always thought he looked like so much like a VFL player that you could spot it from the moon. Credit to him for sticking around at AFL level for so long though.

    That's a frightening profile pic, Alf. I know it's half CW and half AA, but it looks terrible. Or is it really you?

    We made the right call on Cheney and Buckley - tough calls, but right calls.

    Buckley is serviceable but cannot kick, whilst Collingwood can to play a player in the mould of Buckley - we can't.

    Chris Johnson was another interesting one, I reckon he'd look back with regrets about leaving us.

    Hopefully Gysberts isn't one we regret.

    The Gys is the only one of the lot we got rid of that i can see coming back and biting us in the a$$. However is Pedders turns out to be a valuable pick up then it will make no difference to me (as long as he doesn't kill us when we play them!).

    I liked him for the way he went it but I don't think he offers anything over Dunn or Joel MacDonald.

    Out of interest does anyone know who we got for the pick we got for him?

    Interesting how the commentators kept pronouncing his name "Chaney".

    It's spelt with an "e" and pronounced "Cheeney". I checked with him personally at an MFC function.

    Are people mixing the name up with former WA Lib senator, Fred Chaney?

    They've got a few too many off field recruits from other battling clubs.

    they haven't looked like winning a chook raffle since 2008.

    Or Petterd. Already looking like he can be a big contributor for the Tiges off HB this year.

    I thought Cheney was okay, and if he was named in the best he obviously wasn't deplorable.

    They also seem unable to grasp that Jack TrenGOVE only has one "r" in his name.

    Interesting - as so many have been saying over the years "what if x was at Hawthorn, Collingwood etc.. wouldn't they be a lot better."

    Hawks also must have thought that they saw something in him and could fix what we couldn't; maybe it wasn't just 'our poor player development' but rather just him?

    lets be honest and say he never had the talent to make it, honest tryer

    gysberts wont get a game at kangas, last thing they need is another inside mid

    Seems to have fitted in nicely in the Hawks' defense. Has been there every time the Dockers have gone deep. Cut off a few low shots at goal.

    Hawks fans speak highly of him.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
