Really like the look of him from what I have seen! Anyone else see the potential here?

    They had a write up in the local about him apparently dominated in the last half of the TAC season worth a look

    No thanks, let's just rookie the best state league ruckman as backup.

    I'm sure we will have someone in mind, fair chance it will be a ready to go after letting Jamar and Fitz go.

    Maybe at Pick 6 in the Rookie Draft, but if Andre Parella is also available there, then i'd rather him. Really aggressive!

    I don't mind young Gach. He'll take a bit of work, but physically he has everything he needs to make it. As always, bear in mind that rucks generally take a while. Four or five years work and I think we'd have a very handy player.

    In the Academy vs the Northern Blues game I remember watching him kick to the man on the mark 5 metres away than stand still as he let his opponent run inside 50m, wasn't very impressive at the time. Definitely has come a long way since the academy games I saw him in and was impressive in the u18 Champs.

    Lacks aggression but has all the other tools to make it as a ruckman in the AFL, I can see him being taken before our second batch of picks as I see Gach as just about the only ruckman worthy of being drafted this year from the u18 pool based on talent.

    Sounds to me like he'd be a rookie list prospect, if anything.

    Pass...not for us

    We should be on the lookout for a backup ruckman that can go forward and kicks goals. Takes the pressure off Hogan a bit. Unfortunately Spencer doesn't offer this.

    He is more of a 'wrecking ball' type ruckman that is not a great kick and might take a mark once in a fortnight. We are a bit light on for a bit of quality in this department and I hope the club are addressing this.

    For those in the know, does King provide and option here? Is he coming along at all?

    Was just delisted by Essendon. Didn't see much of him in the VFL.

    Since being drafted all I can remember about him was that he was arrested for drunken death threats against an uber driver.

    Anyone seen his development over the past 12 months?

    Probably the harshest player reviews I've ever seen. And with that off field incident maybe they aren't wrong.

    gach might be worth a rookie try as long as someone can improve his ways.

    Scathing and kinda unprofessional.

    Looks like it's a big no though.

    Would take him, the uber incident was out of character as he's normally a very calm person.

    The review was pretty tough - equated the beers had the night before with amount of disposals. If we follow that logic, twenty beers may equate to twenty disposals and so on and so forth. I haven't even factored in spirits. It's a big yes from me.

    How is his first or Christian name pronounced?

    Is it "Gash"?

    If so, I'd cut him some slack.

    I hear you are up for Romsay's multicultural ambassador award. Is that kind of like the Sir Les Patterson of Romsay award?

    I would be proud to win an award that carried that great Australian's name.

    • 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.

      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.
