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?

    you don't think Roos would be involved in assessing possible recruits for next year?

    he has some experience in the area

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
