In-demand Lion close to call on future

Kid wants to come back home. How brilliant would it be if could we get back the pick/player we gave them for Clark, as well as taking their no.1 coaching option?

    I have thought his year he looked like a smooth mover with good skills. He could develop into a very handy type.

    It looked, please correct me if I'm wrong, that Brisbane tried using him as a rebounding defender?

    We have players around the same mark that could excel with a bit more development. ie Strauss.

    I wouldn't be against his acquisition though. Does he have the go in him to play through the guts?

    Absolutely we should be chasing him. Lazer like foot skills and would give us good dash and run of a win.

    Strauss looks half the player Docherty does in twice as long on an AFL list.

    Second round pick might get it done.

    Personally, I remain ever hopeful that one of these homesick kids - Docherty, Adams, etc - falls through to the PSD.

    Yes, we need to utilise that option.

    Does "delisted free agency" make the PSD redundant?

    I'm not exactly sure how that works.

    My impression is:

    - if a club does not offer you a contract and deposits you >>> then you can be signed as a delisted free agent

    - if the "delisting period" ends, you've been offered a contract, but declined to sign it >>> then you must enter the ND or head straight into the PSD, depending on which you nominate for.

    Is this correct?

    So a player can still make the decision to NOT go into the ND, but go straight for PSD?

    I was under the impression you were automatically nominated for ND?

    Or is that only if you go unsigned as a "delisted free agent"?

    And I'm right in believing that a player cannot decline a contract offer and become a "delisted free agent" without his original club actually making the move of delisting him?

    I think the player's club can force the player into the draft.

    We should be chasing Docherty with a PSD bonus.

    I'm told Terry Wallace made some kind of comment yesterday on either Future Stars or The Footy Show that he expected Docherty to come to the Dees. Did anyone actually hear that???

      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.
