Get him playing at Casey next year, preseason with us. He is big enough to play senior footy.

    Yep, Brett was slow like Sam Mitchell is slow. One of the best readers and users of the ball I've ever season. The people that matter have a very high opinion of Jake's future.

    I was wondering if he was as slow as Freddy twinkle-toes Rockliff,,, could it be another tough inunder comes our way finally.

    I like the idea of a development zones which AFL clubs would be responsible for, to teach the kids.

    And at the end of the day, when the kids turn about 17,,, I'd like to see each club allowed to take Two kids from their zones Per Year as scholarship kids, to be tutored while they are still at school, & they could be run thru the VFL system when they are able to cope with this.

    great for the regional zones & AFL development & it keeps more kids in their home states.

    works well if you end up with a good zone, e.g. Hawthorn. It took them from being mediocre to a powerhouse, all on the back of getting allocated a strong zone. MFC on the other hand...

    For and against.

    For - if he has a really good season at Casey then he is cherry ripe for the following AFL season when we draft him to come in and make an impact

    Against - whilst ripping it up at TAC level will elevate your draft ranking - it may not to the same extent as Lovett ripping it up at VFL level. Could mean we have to play a lot more for him in the F/S bidding. There is a case for what Spirit of Norm Smith said " shhh - send him to the outback for 2015".

    I think I prefer the positive spin - give him experience at VFL level next may give him a jump for 2016 and if we have to pay more in terms of a pick - so be it.

    ( note- it didn't really affect the pick we had to give up for Viney but he didn't rip it up at VFL level)

    Someone mentioned Jake Lovett in the Lyon thread, so I thought id bump this up as he will be in this years draft as a potential Father Son for the MFC

    Here is a recent write up on him from a guy at Bigfooty

    http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/power-rankings-for-the-2015-draft.1085573/

    Jake Lovett (VicC -Mid -Mel F/S)
    Weight: 80 kg
    Height: 181 cm
    D.O.B: 9/1/97
    Style: Stephen Coniglio

    Smooth moving midfielder should get Dees fans excited. This Dandenong Stingay averaged 18 disposals and 2.6 handball receives a game. The son of Brett Lovett should play a few games for Vic Country as a utility since there Vic Country lineup is stacked. Classy midfielder who could find himself leading the Stingray midfield for 2015. If he could add another element to his game then I could see him going in the 3rd round.

    His stats from last season for Dandenong - http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=197829402&client=1-3020-111722-294694-20320265

    Sounds like the type of player that could take a big leap forward in his final TAC cup season.

    He has done some sessions down at MFC this preseason. He has a man's body already. Will spend the year the majority of the year at Dandy Stingrays rather than at his his school Peninsula Grammar. His sister is a highly rated rugby player. (Useless random fact.)

    He did the skills session with the side prior to the intra-club on Thursday. So the club is watching, but there is a lot of water to go under the bridge yet....

    Did you happen to notice what his skills were like George?

    That's from the dees. He can play, aggressive and good skills, but been told by the dees he has to fix a problem with his tank.

    I'm glad that is what he needs to work on - fitness is easier to fix than dodgy skills or an inability to find the footy.

    Colin Sylvia says hello; but I actually agree with you that it is easier to fix, but to be a modern footballer to play the modern game you need fitness.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
