    Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

    kid's a Stynes. He wouldn't allow it that he was there as any charity . He'd want to make a statement. He'd have to understand who's shadow he'd be in. He'd also want to stamp the moment as his.

    Might be interesting. :)

    So... anyway...

    When does Lovett have to nominate us as his father/son option? And if he does, will it be our responsibility to draft him on draft night itself?

  • Quote

    Probably rookie the lad.

    Some fairly decent players have come that path.

    Any updates on young Jake? With the recuritment of Shaun's son I'd assume he's still in line to be drafted either with a late draft or rookie pick.

    i'd think rookie the only possibility

    There was a bit of buzz about him a year or so back. Did he not live up to expectations?

    He ran around for Casey didn't he... Did anyone see him play?

    I just read this thread (commencing 2013) from start to finish. Summary:

    - Promising junior - ball accumulator at that level

    - Had a strong 2014 - "certainty" to make it

    - Had a pretty poor 2015 and suffered some injuries, and was apparently told earlier in the year to improve his tank or the MFC wouldn't look at him

    - Form picked up late in the season.

    I have no idea what to make of any of it. Gut feel is that I doubt we'll take him.

    Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read.

    Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window.

    Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many...

    Maybe a rookie spot?

  • Quote

    I think the club would go for him if it could place him on the rookie list but otherwise, I don't see him as a top 50 contender which would rule him out for us in the national draft.

    Pity because his father was a late bloomer in that he spent a couple of seasons playing in the reserves at Hawthorn before crossing to Melbourne where he wasn't an overnight sensation.

    If he isn't picked up i wouldn't be surprise if Casey sign him up next year.

    true

    I think we will have at least one more pick by next friday. Maybe more.

    Good decision by the club.

    Yep, agreed. I'm disappointed we've decided to pass on him but the club clearly feels he needs to make some inroads regarding his fitness and endurance. I'd much prefer him earn his spot on the list through hard work and merit rather than be awarded the position because he's a father-son prospect.

  • Quote

    well, if he was a rookie, odds are he would play all year at casey

    and now most likely he will join casy and play at casey all year anyway

    so, depending on how he handles it he may not be losing too much

    he'll get lots of support from mfc and his family and i hope he makes it

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
