If Demonland were a TV series, I believe we would have reached this episode...

    So Master, you're saying Tebow (whatever) could be our very own version of a bloke who just may be the worst player in the last 20 years?

    No, I don't think that's crazy.

    Good point RTG. Just when you then it can't get more insane, a group of Demonlanders organize a ritual in the MCG carpark in an attempt to resurrect Norm Smith.

    Debreczeni is tipped as a rugby star of the future given his combination of height, speed, strength, kicking and passing game.

    Excellent idea from Essendon. Shame it got out now every club will be checking him out. May as well nominate for the draft.

    But am I not the only one who think there isn't nearly enough AFL talent to be divided between 18 clubs. As long as you don't ruin your existing scouting networks every club should have some interest in non traditional recruiting.

    No Master, there is a lack of depth. Yes, I've chuckled at Tebow but I am keen to get reports on our NZ prospect whose name ascapes me. So I know where you are coming from.

    Forget Tebow - repeat the Irish experiment. It frustrates me that I see so many Irish lads playing for other clubs but none on the MFC list. Look at Toohey & Hanley this year. MFC should be trying to find the next Wight or Stynes. Many Gaelic footballers would love to play professional footy and to live in Aus.

    Tommy Walsh - StKilda/Syd

    Nial McKeever - OneDirection/Brisbane

    Caolan Mooney - Collingwood

    Marty Clarke - Collingwood

    I'm not against the idea but the success rate isn't amazing. But then again the two you mention are very decent footballers, as well Kennelly and of course Jim. It seems if they make it big they really do become very good.

    And maybe we could swoop in and sign Gareth Bale from under Real Madrid's nose.

    How about another natural athlete I watched on the weekend, Phil 'The Power' Taylor.

    Phil would work wonders in player psychology. The guy is a freak big time performer. All he has to do is start well and he's pretty won. The opposition crumble.

    Also has the best moobs in pro sport. I'd pay him to speak to the Melbourne guys as a motivational speaker/bit of light hearted fun any day.

    Is Gareth Bale out of contract and unemployable in his current sport due to onfield knocks and off field media circus? I don't think so.

    You are right about Phil Taylor. He is a freak. MVG and Adrian Lewis can score aswell as him but he barely ever misses his checkouts. It is quite unbelievable, especially in big matches at the Worlds, Premier League etc. I know people will laugh off darts but that is serious pressure.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
