I would've thought the Lions had enough picks in the draft without any extra delistings.

    I have always had a bit of time for Banfield... pretty sure he tore us apart on more than one occasion. Definitely worth a look in my opinion.

    I suspect he saved his best for us. Very inconsistent. Sean Charles and Carltank come to mind.

    They want to bring him back in the RD, you shouldn't be so open about it, it let's other clubs no what you are doing.

    Unless they want a team to trump them...

    Would love us to RD him (if there are no such plans for Nev Jetta)... I get the feeling he fits the mould of the small player type like by Roos.

    How?

    I've not paid much attention to him in recent years, but I do know the kid has talent.

    Why has he fallen out of favour?

    Workrate? Discipline? I'm guessing.

    On talent alone I'd think he's worth seriously considering.

    It's the vibe... it's just, you know, the vibe.

    if we get him as a rookie we are sacrificing nothing to get him so we may as well take him IMO

    The Voss kiss of death. Part of the reason all the fringe kids have bailed. Lack of opportunity at senior level and no reward for NEAFL for unless one of the chosen few.

    Think Longer, Polec, Kanrezis.

    Has just been delisted by Brisbane who say they will pick him up as a Rookie.

    Melbourne need a quality small forward to compliment the tall timber. Worth getting in before Brisbane in the Rookie Draft?

    very interesting.. I was all for grabbing him some time back.

    would qualify for a watch this space development i reckon

    If he can't midfield, Roos won't get him.

    I would go for him though.

    With the interchange cap and 3 on the bench, your small forwards have to be able to run through the midfield.

    Banfield is awesome. If he were an animal he'd be a lion.

    Have always wondered why he never played in the midfield.

    Def worth a look in the rookie draft.

    Saad from the Saints also has been delisted. Sure he has drug investigation ongoing but think max was 12 games and it's just a rookie spot.

  • Quote

    It's said Saad will get 2 years so a bit of a deterrent I reckon! :unsure:

    Does Banfield possess much of a tank ?

    That's up there with "why isn't Nick Sautner getting a game?".

    Thought this bloke had a bit of ability.Can get a goal and has pace. Strange delisting IMO.

    He is a player who would fill a void on our list if the club rates him, but I get the feeling Roos will use midfielders on the flankers rotating thru the middle. Just like Sydney do with their model.

    Having said that Sydney do use specialised forward and back pocket players. I'm sure the club would look at him with pick 57.

    • 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.
