how long before his uncle is working out a way to get him to North Melbourne behind closed doors?

...about as long as Gunston's dad was trying to get his son to Essendon. The kid will have a mind of his own.

    He'd be doing it in the open now. But his old man as (interim) head of the coaches association will probably prefer him to be at Melbourne at least for the next 2 years than at North. From then on its up to Goodwin to prove he's better than Brad Scott.

    Brayshaw to play for MFC in 2015 $1.01 bet ... virtually assured IMO.

    Are there betting lines for the draft? I did a scan of the major players and didn't find anything but I don't have an account.

    As we are all raving about him and are divided about other pick is there a chance that Saints may pick him at one

    None. Will be Petracca or McCartin.

    Round 20, 1991.

    Mark Brayshaw played full back on Allen Jakovich for a lot of the day.

    That's all you need to know.

    Surprised I didn't remember - think I was at that game.

    This might explain the nagging feeling I've been having about the Brayshaw name.

    I've been trying really hard lately to convince myself that Angus was now worthy of our pick 2 or 3 and this info has completely shattered that idea - Even if it was his old man up against Jaka kicking snaps from outside 50 going through post high.

    It'd be the only way we'll make the top 4 in the next 100 years

    I can see Roos using him off half back next year if we pick him up. Vlastuin was impressive in his first two years in that role for Richmond. I think Brayshaw has the same strong body and combative approach that should allow him to survive from day one. His kicking is better than Vlastuin it seems and even though he would be a first year player, he may help alleviate a deficiency if he can give us that Malceski type player until he develops into Tyson's best mate in the middle.

    So where do we hide Grimes? :P

    I assume he'll "step down from the captaincy to concentrate on football" at some point during the off-season.

    This will then allow Roos to drop him.

    Once he learns that a boundary line is not in fact a player with a Melbourne guernsey, he'll be a good player.

    He knows no boundaries.

    I agree. From what I recall he looked slower than Jimmy Toumpas in his highlight package.

    Was it just me or did those highlights seem to be played in slow motion/half pace?

    I get frustrated with these highlight packages as they never seem to show much of general play contested footy stuff. Under no pressure he can kick it very well but remember most players take a fair while to learn to kick well at AFL level because they just don't have the time they did in junior footy.

    He can take a good mark for his size but I can't get a handle on his lateral movement or speed, two things I think are critical. From all reports we'll take him and while I'll trust our recruiters I don't expect much the first year.

    He's one of the few where I would expect decent performances in his first year. Big bodied contested ball winners usually make the transition a lot faster than most.

    Angus at least has some meat on him. A decent preseason would embellish that also.

    No more skinny kids

    get that growth hormone into him, that'll put meat on his bones.

    Angus certainly delivers the Sherrin very well by foot however as BB suggests we have little idea how he performs in close/under real pressure.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
