This would have been a perfect time to send the scum packing and get a Tasmanian team to join the comp.

Just shows that the AFL are not serious about going to Tassie.

They never have been

Time to sack AFL board...get a new one

    Not because of Tassie but the board and then quite a few of the AFL management team should go.

    IMO we need a new GM with no alliance to existing people.

    Maybe Mike Fitzpatrick can be Essendon's "top-up" ruckman! I am sure that they would find a way to facilitate it.

    If the EFC wins more games than the MFC in 2016 we should quit the AFL or rename our team i.e the toadstools because they are toxic. Highly unlikely to happen but…….

    Added Stokes and Polkinghorne... now 6 to the cheats.

    Will we get a top up ... Mitch Golby?  Matt Arnot?? running half back

    I don't think we'll get one.  More than likely we'll get to promote an extra rookie, although then being able to add another to the list would be good.

    VFL rejects do nothing for me.  Golby and Arnot don't have the potential to get a game.  Mitch White does.  I'd rather us go down that road.

    Odd that Essendon end up with a full list and we don't.Not unexpected given the nature of the AFL but odd none the less.

    It is odd, but I don't think one rookie, for one year only, will make a huge difference to our fortunes. It may be an advantage for Casey though.

    I do feel we should be able to get another rookie.

    Most likely they wont turn out to be a player but what if the next aaron davey is out there?

    Trouble is you would have to draft him the next year before the other clubs.

    I thought the Drug Lords only get 10 gifted players from their major sponsors, the AFL.

    That would mean they are 2 short of a full list.

    Nice to see the article in this morning's paper saying that Port are after Jamar as a "top-up" player to cover for Ryder and Montfries. Be excellent if it happened and Essendon had one of their ruck coaches poached!

    Presumably we will be delisting players and promoting a rookie (or delisting a rookie) and the new rookie could stay on if good enough

    CBDEES,Mike Fitzpatrick as EFC top up ruckman……AFL should give the go ahead. Taken in consideration his age the AFL should allow the centre square ( rename not so centre square) to be moved 50 metres closer to the EFC goals. Why not !!!!

  • Quote

    I think the other clubs who have players suspended should have the right to nominate an additional rookie from the remainder of the draft pool. I would not be averse to us then picking Jake Lovett - he must not have been that far away anyway.

    Seeing Stokes in the news, don't think there is much to worry about in then winning to many games. His cake in take was up during his retirement.

    Based on his interview on the AFL site there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of passion there either.

    Love the way the article refers to " lowly melbourne ".... Some people in the media seem to forget that we actually finished above both essendon and St kilda last year. Didn't think we could still be as low as essendon is now....

    It annoys me too, but then we haven't exactly been anything but 'lowly Melbourne' for a long time.  Once we played good, consistent footy and we push for finals it will be hard to change that perception for some.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
