    No.

    Why not?

    Because his best footy is well and truly past him and he is not the type of player or person we need at the club.

    No because it really would be a case of cutting our nose to spite our face.

    Different thing if it was a young kid with something to give in the future but Scotland is near to finished (not to mention he fails on the no DH front as well).

    Oh, you mean the player ... I was going to say yes as long as we get first dibs on all the single malt, but Old Dee would probably have done so before I finished typing ... :blink:

    You have to be kidding!

    I'd rather Carlton keep him so it means they don't rookie some one who could turn out to be a gun.

    ...and we get Sir Alex as the senior assistant.

    This would purely be a "let's screw Carlton" move.

    He is a bloke who was told by his club that they can only afford to keep him as a Rookie. Some thought he would be cut outright.

    Just let it go.

    Do we need a 30+ sweeper (read: loose man, kick chaser) well past his prime?

  • Quote

    This shouldn't even be a consideration. He is over 30 and has been in trouble with the law. A definite no.

    WIth the emphasis on senior ... :blink:

    try 33 ! - (yes, i know 33 can be loosely called 30+)

    That being said, how does he get on to the Carlton rookie list? I assume he has to nominate for all three drafts. I know nobody else will bother taking him other than Carlton, but it's a hell of a way to have to go just to keep playing for the club you already play for.

    Just another example of why the rookie list doesn't work and should go.

    Nothing to do with affording, he'll still be on decent cash but Carlton needed him to change over to have enough list movements on draft day. He'd still be on 200-250k on the rookie list so there's no way we'd touch him.

    That's what I meant. 'Afford' from a list manangement POV.

    seeing as you can't do your own research, you can do the math

    and is there a point you are trying to make?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
