    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
