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.

    And Mitch Clisby.

    Surely Tom Gillies must get a run?

    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.”

    I'm just waiting for this site to self combust if we lose this match.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
