Not that I'm a huge fan, but Zac Clarke could fill that need.

Otherwise I reckon we should draft Declan Keilty are give him a go.  Has a bit of talent.

I'm not a huge fan either.  We need quality, and Clarke, Vickery and others don't really do it for me.  Keilty looks alright, but can he ruck?  He's spent pretty much all of his time down back.  Again, I think he wouldn't be much of an upgrade on what we have.

If we want to push for finals we need quality, not plodders or 'hopefuls'.

And with Vickery, we'll still have no back up for Gawn if he goes down.

Maybe, but he'll still be Vickery everyday

I've been impressed with Keilty when he goes into the ruck.  He normally gives away a bit of height and weight, but you wouldn't know if given how well he competes.

If you go back through the clubs videos I'd recommend watching him in the VFL Round 2 match v The Filth at the Holden Center.  Was up against Mason Cox all day, and all things considered did a really good job.  Thought he competed well weekend gone against Longer, Holmes & Pierce also.

Agree.

He was one out against three for three quarters after Spencer went off

I thought he won or halved most of the ruck contests.

I hope that is just a throwaway line. One has kicked 154 goals at AFL level while the other has kicked 6.

He is capable of playing some good football and if he didn't cost too much (financially) I wouldn't be against it.

The first part, yes. The second I'm not so sure of LG. I think Jake is limited beyond ruck duties. Having said that I'd like to see him now get a number of senior games to look at how the two rucks combine.

Fair enough. Spencer is no forward. It was a throwaway line, indeed. 

I think I was riley to excess by just how much Iy dislike the idea of Vickery on the field for us. It is possible that I'd take a 'no forward' over Vickery.

Given that we are looking fine for key forwards long term, with some promising kids coming along and Hogan & Watts working together happily, why would be buy in a guy who can't manage 10 disposals a game, is spectacularly bad at working up the ground, spends all day waiting for someone to kick it to him, is not especially accurate at goal, and who most definitely cannot ruck?

I was listening to the pre game on sen Collingwood/ WCE and the of asked Scott Lucas Vickerys manager about the MFC'S interest in him and weather we had spoken to him and Lucas was awfully quiet and didn't seem to answer the question properly either will wait and see I guess??

I mentioned that The Geelong game was a milestone because GAWN arrived in dominant fashion. But someone interjected that GAWN + SPENCER played together for that day and it was also the last time. If Vickery is off the cards then how about we [censored] play Spencer

8 disposals yesterday. The tenth time this season he has failed to reach double-figures. It is also his average.

As for those thinking he could ruck-support for us, he had 5 hitouts too. Which is double his average. He's had 10+ hitouts 4 times in three years.

Since the round 9 move to support Gawn, Jack Watts has had more hitouts than Vickery. (As well as more goals, double the disposals and almost double the marks)

Vickery is not effective ruck relief.

Vickery is limited as a forward.

Vickery offers little else.

Please, stop this, it is upsetting me. :unsure:

Vickery is the type of player we need but he is not the player to fill that need.

 

Haven't Geelong got heap of rucks/forwards on their list struggling to get a game, and no im talking about that [censored] that used to be on our list

I watched him for a while yesterday and he was spectating and not participating, he just watched the game and didn't at any time try to get involved or influence the game.

I would be livid if we picked him, he's a total dud.

The OX just said (again) on SEN we should target Vickery. He needs a change of culture which we could provide.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
