I don't think other clubs would try to screw us over at the risk of ending up with a player that they don't want.

Isn't Sheedy back at EssUndone?

yes but Jack Viney wasn't born like you and I, he burst out of his mothers womb/stomach and ran straight onto the MCG.

I asked a journo, who'd know, about this kid. "Will he make it?" "Dead certainty. Quick off 20, lovely left foot." That'll do me

Just proves how hard it is to get drafted to the AFL, even if you are a father and son prospect if you're not good enough you won't make the cut.

.....any more !

The club will treat him like he is one of our own, he can development without the worry of being delisted from the rookie list, might take two season at Casey before he makes it to the rookie list or main list, players like mat stoke where over looked in three drafts

No guarantees Jake will line up at Casey. His first priority will be his horticultural course he is now looking forward to starting.

Interesting. Maybe, despite being from a footy family and in draft calculations for a long time, he doesn't Lovett as much as he loves horticulture.

Or maybe he's no good at footy and wants to follow in his father's footsteps of raising spuds.

Very good! Jake will be playing footy in 2016, just not necessarily at Casey.

Jake has settled on Casey Scorps for 2015.

However, he and his parents were given a tour of the Holden Center recently and the filth have shown some interest in taking him as a rookie.

I suspect that he will receive considered parental guidance ensuring that he disassociates himself from the filth (however on the other hand I would have no objection if we looked at Weideman)!

I wish him the best the regardless of who he plays for. Personally, If I were him, I would put in the hard yards down at Casey. But I won't begrudge the young kid if he grabs the opportunity elsewhere. Either way he'll have to put in a lot of hard yards. The satisfaction of making our list would be greater though IMO.

The club said they wouldn't.

I'd say that's his reasoning.

Exactly.. But apparently that's still not enough..

Has an AFL Club ever said something and done the complete opposite?

Example, "we support the coach 100% and he will see out his contract", then sacked the next day, if not that afternoon.

Far out.. Todd Viney has already mentioned how hard it was for him to go to the Lovett household and break the news that they will NOT select him in this draft period.

Obviously not good enough to be in our sights. If not picked up in the rookie draft then he'll play at Casey in 2016.

Has a club ever come out and said that they will NOT select a father/son candidate, even through the Rookie Draft and then selected said player anyway?

Agree. I heard him say it on thursday night. I just said I "wonder" if it could happen, in other words, was it a ruse.

FWIW, I was at an MFC AGM many years back when Billy Snedden the President was asked from the floor, " would we be clearing Phil Carman"? He answered absolutely not. He will play with us next year.

The Headline on the back page of the Sun the next morning, revealed that Carman had been cleared the day before by the Dees.

Yes I know, Billy was a Politician.

Wasn't it Wayne Read who made that statement about Fabulous Phil?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
