As for our 2nd round selection, Trent Dumont is one player who I would love to see fall to our pick if Dunstan and Sheed go earlier then the AFL website suggests as many of us suspect.

184cm, 84kg. Strong bodied running half back who can also play as an inside mid and has a really good kick on him. I'd compare him to a more polished Nathan Wright at St Kilda. Would start half back but will eventually play in the midfield, either inside or off a wing. Could stay at HBF also if need be.

Any of our SA supporters know anything more about him and if he'd be a good addition. From the bits I have seen of him I like.

    I have just watched the replay of the first half of the SANFL GF and was really impressed with this kid - more so than Aish. He's a hard nut, not afraid and has quick hands. Apparantley has had injury problems and seen by some as a one dimensional inside player. Was likened to Ollie Wines (is his name allowed to be mentioned without mentioning JT?)

    Anyone see the game and/or know any more about him?

    If i had to guess at anything I suggest its this type of player we may well end up going for with what picks remain . As we're looking to ditch pick2 its these 2nd rounder types that will excite the FD. Not so glamorous but very productive.

    Yeah, I've been impressed with what I've seen from Dumont all year, he is just the type of player we need.

    Dumont is not bad.

    Good size, puts his body in, gets in the right spots, finds the contested footy.

    His disposal is a bit workmanlike at times, doesn't have the class of Aish.

    A good get for a 2nd round pick.

    How are his hands, M? Just workmanlike? Sounds like Sewell otherwise. :P

    His hands are ok.

    Get the ball, doesn't fumble too much, handballs ok.

    It's the difference in disposal between him and a really top class kid like Aish.

    They both hit the target, but Aish will hit you perfectly in stride with the ball softly rotating the right way to be collected easily.

    You know, Dumont looks a little rushed, but Aish looks like he had exactly the amount of time to do what he needed to do.

    A bit of hyperbole in there, but it should give you an idea of what I mean.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
