James Magner at Essendon

Found it a bit ironic this bloke came out publicly kicking and screaming at Neeld and Craig for not giving him much of a go and now they have gone ahead and given him a second chance.

Interesting selection

Just waiting for Brent Moloney to get named soon.

 

They are desperate to unlock the secret as to how we kept beating them when we were at our worst and they were fully juiced.

desperate times and money make for strange bedfellows !!

 

Well he did build Eastlink by himself.


And Mitch Clisby.

Surely Tom Gillies must get a run?

Magner, Clisby ... Neeld and Craig.

Getting the band back together.

 

BTW, this from the Essendon site (I know, I know ...):

Bio: Clisby is a 25 year old who played eight games for Melbourne when Mark Neeld and Neil Craig were at the club. Currently on the North Adelaide list in the SANFL he is a quality outside midfielder who has a strong running ability. He uses the ball well by foot when given time and space.

List Manager Adrian Dodoro: “The former Melbourne rookie player was rated highly as a junior and comes to the club on a recommendation by Mark Neeld and Neil Craig. Clisby has the ability to play on the wing or play through the midfield. He played eight senior games after making his debut at Melbourne under Neil.”


Pace, pace and more pace.

Cale Morton for outside run?

Magner clisby petrenko brown jones.. Sounds a bit similar to our recruiting in 2012. Scattergun

Umm... round 2, 2013 ring any bells for you, Biff? I can quite understand if it has been deliberately scrubbed from your memory ...


Good luck to Magner hope he can make it at senior level.

Cale Morton for outside run?

Tapscott for some sprint off half back

Tapscott for some sprint off half back

Only feasable if his opposition are handicapped.

Yes, I agree, although I was surprised that Clisby was dropped and I always liked the way Magner played and thought he deserved more opportunity, but we continued to play others who would be satisfied with 5 disposals for an entire game, Magner was a ball magnet.

Must have been some sort of pre season that the boys put in that year.

I didn't mind Clisby.

Neil Craig was obviously a fan. Got him in as soon as he took control and kept him in. Clisby is a little small to defend medium forwards and lacks a bit of penetration on his kicks but his short to medium kicking is solid and he added some rebound to our team when he came in. I was surprised Roos didn't give him a shot.

Neeld seriously rates Evans, he would be a good chance

 

This just gets better and better. I wonder how long people can possibly still #standbyhird

Until they are a Carlton 2002/03 style basketcase or worse. By that, I mean when they are close to handing the keys back to the AFL.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
