According to afl.com.au Karnezis is homesick and set to walk out on Brisbane - Karnezis keen to leave Lions at season's end

He's got some skills and height and could be a handy half forward/wingman. Needs development but can certainly find the footy and run in space.

Considering how keen we should be for immediate improvement I'd be consider our second round pick on the table. I'd certainly offer our third rounder in a flash.

If he's so good why has he only played 3 games this year?

I know he's been doing well in the reserves but that's eerily similar to the Pedersen situation and we know how that's turned out...

If they can't win their own contested ball I ain't interested.

Has some talent but would look very ordinary in our side where the delivery is poor and you're always under pressure. Just ask Shannon Byrnes.

We need players who win footy by running and taking marks as well. Of course priority number 1 for us should be inside midfielders but if we get a rotation of guys like Karnezis, Howe, Evans and Toumpas on our wings/half forward then that's important as well. I'm confident Karnezis can win the ball at half forward and on the wing through smart running and play a role.

Well he's a lot younger than Pedersen that's for sure and I think part of the reason he hasn't played is that Brisbane have seen this coming for quite a while. He also has lots of things to work on in his game. As bad as Pedersen has been if he was a midfielder he'd be going better than Magner, Couch and Rodan.

I reckon he is a pretty handy footballer, probably going to attract abit of attention

Reckon he can play too.

Has tricks as a half forward and thought he would make the transition to the mid/wing this year so not sure what happened. def the buzz player preseason.

Not sure MFCt is the right place to extract his best but can play if we do.

He's a pass for me.

Only really good for two goals a game, nothing phenomenal, may look better in a better side as a third tall (like a Jack Gunston) but that's about it.

Not exactly what we need and will just be another list clogger for us. As we all say we need mids, he won't fit with us.

LOL. Or maybe its becuase he rejected a deal from the Lions after the NAB Cup Granny when the Lions wanted him to depserately sign and said to them I'm waiting till seasons end for contract talks.

We should look to bring him to the club as long as it doesn't cost too much. He will attract a lot of attention at the end of the year. He was the buzz player in preseason this year, but wasn't able to put it together when the Lions were struggling early on in the year after a good NAB cup. He's got a lot to offer as a half forward/wing/half back. He's got good dash, decent skills, and is a great size. At 190cm and 88kgs, he's a the prototype midfielder, and at only 21 years of age could still have a lot of development left in him.

If we can get him for a second-third round pick, or better yet, in the pre-season draft, it would be a good get for the club going forward.

So he is not getting a game because he refused to sign a contract? Not likely, if he was good enough he would be getting a game regardless of his contract situation

They are trying to iron out his defensive game as well but I think the contract is playing some role. There's also the fact that Voss seems to only rate about 18 players on Brisbane's list and they all get played every week in the same positions and there's about another 10 who go in and out of the team and never get a consistent run at it.

Explain to me why Voss would hand games to a bloke who isnt gonna be there next season? Like you have got to be joking me that you think he would still be selected.

Because he still has a year to run on his contract and if he doesn't play he is getting paid to do nothing?

He doesn't want to be there and didn't want to be there after early season.

If he is in their best 22 he'd be playing, you could argue Jack Watts doesn't want to be with us but is still playing.

I see it more like Koby Stevens when he was at the Eagles.

Same age, similar original draft positions, both cant get a game in their side

Koby Stevens is now playing very well for the Bulldogs

We need to bring in guaranteed talent - no more Pedersens or Byrnes

If we brought in only what you think are guaranteed talents - we would have half a list.

The fact is that we need to look at turining some fringe youngsters at other clubs into dependable players for us.

We will only have a small chance to get good Free Agents, we will only have a finite number of top 5 picks.

We need to bring in players we see as big improvers because that are players we can actually recruit.

And it is the same mindset that brought in Matt Jones, Terlich, and Clisby. 3 of our 4 hardest running players. If there are similar (there would be better) fringe players at other AFL clubs - get them to the Dees.

I have seen him in the NEAFL absolutely smashing it this year. It would seem that he made his intentions to return home known last year and Voss has only used him if absolutely necessary.

He may not be perfect fit for us right now. The comments about not winning his own ball are based wrong. He's been playing midfield and resting forward in the 2s and finding a lot of the ball both inside and outside.

If we could get him without giving much to the lions id take him.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
