Hahaha........played his best footy running around on his own on a wing cause no one cared if he got the ball as he just doesn't hurt you.

Can't defend, can't kick over 30 meters and first instinct is to go backwards.  Pass.

He has talent but don't think he has been taught to tackle and chase. Roos would either not rate him or perhaps think he can teach him this. 

Average wages at the moment are 350/yr next year average will be 400/Yr you'd think. 400 for a fringe player. So 500 not crazy money anymore

Are you aware Roos won't be our coach next year?

This from CB covers it

" See James Aish, Jimmy Toumpas, Kane Lucas and Jono O'Rourke. "

All good juniors who are struggling at senior level.

A large number of high draft picks do not make it and he is another.

Didn't he get dropped this year? 500k, you are kidding yourself Lewis!!!!

He wants out - rather than just walking, he asks for a large amount of money which Brisbane won't match, and then he can claim it was a contract stand off that forced him out.  

If Brisbane cave and give him the money then not only have they called his bluff, but he got far more money than he expected.

For 500k - no. But, I think Lewis Taylor should be looked at (even approached). He does offer something we are lacking - clean, efficient and effective disposal. Taylor is good by foot - either foot. He is great on both sides of the body. He moves well, isn't dissimilar to Nathan Jones in the way that he evades opposition players. I think the kid has some clear upside, but.. He also has a lot of issues - on field and off (by the sounds of things). On field his weaknesses are that he doesn't chase (either way). He doesn't put on enough defensive pressure, nor does he find enough of the football. I don't see these as big problems. The big problem for me is the 500k asking price. I feel it is unrealistic.

How is running backwards 15 meters then kicking the ball 15 meters efficient?

Sometimes you have to go back to go forward. Look, I won't argue that Taylor is having a good year. But I will argue that he can play football. I believe he would be a good addition to our squad. I just don't believe he is worth the 500k price tag. That is where it sits for me.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
