Bevan's surprise bid for AFL return

Nominated and could be a late pickup for a club!! Think roosy would take him?

Played as a small forward in the WAFL this year, and kicked 55 goals, could be competition for Kent, Tappy, Byrnes in that smaller forward spot

As soon as I saw 29 years of age I stopped reading.

Only if he could replace one of Byrnes, Pedersen or maybe Nicho (possible).

    I was thinking maybe Byron Sumner as another swans link...

    Northern NSW is lovely in the summer

    thing is neither Tappy or Byrnes are in reality any competition for the spot......lol

    Interesting that he's nominated financial terms. It either means he's already agreed to join someone, or he's not desperate to play and will only go (and therefore turn his life on its head, as presumably he is employed and so on) if it's worth his while.

    Nice pickup!

    It's interesting, and refreshing - 'If you want me, you can have me on this, for this long. Otherwise I am happy to move on.'

    can you actually stipulate anything in the draft.... preseason yes...but national ?

    I can't imagine any player at that age nominating terms like that unless he had already agreed terms with the team that will pick him up.

    Question is just who exactly?

    We'd have to be the favourite in the above scenario.

    'New' players cannot from what I understand, but even that may have an age limit.

    Players that have nominated before can name their terms if they wish I believe. I have the old CBA and not the new one so I can check but it will be from a 2 year old CBA.

    only included other options as even though kent did well, he hardly set the world on fire, or did the jo required of a small forward. that spot is still well open, and whether it be an existing player or a new player to the club it is someones for the taking!

    Not just open but the bed's made with little choccies on it !! ( sts ) Much is made of our taller timber but a live wire crumber -opportunist wouldnt go amiss by any stretch of imagination

    Everyone remembers who Paul Bevan is right? Disciplined small defender like a B grade Nick Smith.

    Footy smarts may have let him dominate WAFL but I'd doubt he would provide any on field impact as a small forward at AFL level.

    Rookie draft if Roos wants another training/coach style player like Cross. Otherwise no thanks

    • 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.
