He's missed some footy through the birth of kids and also got pneumonia whilst hunting in the wet in NT

 

How is a kid who's played 10 AFL games averaging less than 10 possessions, better than a 100 game player who finished 9th in Dons B&F this year and 5th a few years back?

Really!?

I can tell you now that Petracca is better footballer than Terlich and Petracca has not played a single AFL game.

And that's relevant to Anderson Vs Melksham, how?

 

I'm using the same logic you did.

The logic where I quote data on each players career achievements in the AFL to date, and you counter with a sophisticated version of "because"..?

Because your logic for rating Melksham higher than Anderson is flawed.

Shane Savage was highly rated coming out of Hawthorn and he actually got a game.

He's been pretty poor at St Kilda since. People constantly overrate average players at good clubs. Clinton Young is another example of a rubbish Hawthorn player who looked good in a good system.

Melksham has runs on the board at AFL level, Anderson has 'potential'.

As a Melbourne supporter, I'd think more than anyone you'd realise the downfalls on making decisions on the latter.

Is anyone else worried about the Lake, Hale, Suckling and possibly Anderson departures opening up ~$1m in the Hawks cap (minus any TPP excess they paid this year)?

Could they steal Treloar?

Pretty disappointed we didn't push harder for this.. as a side thats crying out for outside run and hardness he would have been the perfect pick up.. instead we put more time and effort into chasing midgets like Ben Kennedy..

I don't think we would have been able to satisfy them in a trade DD, but agree he would have been a really nice addition to the side.

I get what your saying, but pretty sure Anderson's only 6cm taller then Kennedy.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
