I like this guy and think he would work well for us, but why delist Magner and get another mature aged recruit?

I don't think Roos will recruit anymore, he will keep Jones but thats about it.

Because Cain and Magner have very different attributes..?

Like pace, ability to hit a target...

It's not that hard to figure out.

    Different players. Different circumstance.

    There are still gems out there that are yet to be unearthed.

    Cain was an unbelievable player when I played with him through 16's. Some players suit faster-paced football.

    Cain's decision making, hands and kicking are impeccable. Magner is a junkyard bulldog who will dive in and come out with the ball but that's all he's got going for him.

    I strongly believe Cain will more than hold his own at AFL level and I'm desperate for us to draft him.

    Magner got 50 odd disposals one game in the VFL how many times has Cain done that?

    I'm all for getting him, but i can't see Roos recruiting him.

    Against a 3rd division EDFL side. besides just because he got 50 disposals doesn't automatically mean he is a better player then Cain.

    Cain has speed, good kicking skills and overhead mark while Magner is the complete opposite...

    With all due respect TDM, disposals shouldn't be a rating attribute of a player. Magner had absolutely no damage with his disposal and it's why he's now on the scrap heap. I thank him for his time, but Cain kicks goals, gets both uncontested and contested footy and is effective by foot.

    I'd take that over 35 handballs, 15 kicks 11 ineffective any day.

    It's impossible to argue with someone who who places such importance on 'possession count'.

    Why do you think Magner didn't get an AFL game after that performance?

    I didn't say i don't want him but i don't believe that Roos will pick him.

    Met a guy today who also plays for Port Melbourne and rates him very highly both in the mid and up forward.

    I would prefer Mitch Honeychurch or Dayle Gartlett if he lasted that long.

    • 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.
