The Ox would have to have one of the worst football brains in the football media.

And a lamentable history of making bad bets.

    When brain transplants become feasible, only then could we consider someone like Vickery.

    Although Vickery is a free agent, it is a no for me. Rationale:

    I understand he is not a traditional second ruck/forward, but I think we already have the best player for Vickery's position in the AFL in Jack Watts. Watts has averaged 17.9 disposals, 7.0 marks, 1.7 goals, 3.2 hit outs and 93.8 Supercoach points since round 9 (when Pedersen was out of the team). While Watts is often beaten in the hit outs, he is very good at wining the clearances when the ball hits the deck and offers a more mobile option around the ground.

    Pedersen is far better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

    Watts  is far better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

    Dawes  is almost better  as a forward though not  as a back up ruck.

    Hulett  could well become better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

    So what would be his rôle?

    NO

    Oh shut up Daisy, we don't all lead the exciting life that you do and this is entertaining for some of us, who have more ordinary mundane lives.

    Does he improve our list? Probably not. Pedo is our KPF depth.

    Are we better off giving a shot to a young draftee or state league player? Probably yes. 

    Pass.

    Interesting to see Vickery has been omitted this week. Keeping him in cotton wool for a trade?

    Yep, they dont want to jeopardise that late 4th rounder they are chasing.

    Smart move.

    They might need that 4th rounder to get Cloke. All part of their 2017 premiership plan

    If Vickery came cheap then why not. We have no back up if Gawn goes down

    Perhaps we can engineer a 3 way trade with Collingwood and Richmond where we end up with Vykery and Jesse White. They will provide enormous comedy value and we could offer Terlich and a late pick.

    Vickery is a Restricted Free Agent.  ie no trade required - he comes free!

    Richmond know he has a good deal on the table so they have put him on ice to protect their FA compensation pick from the AFL. 

    I wouldn't be surprised if they got an early 2nd rnd pick from the AFL.  Given they don't have a 2nd rnd pick it will come in very handy.

    Even for free, I wouldn't take him.  He might be handy right now but don't see a permanent role in our team.

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

    A thousand times no. I'd rather have Declan Keilty.

    Agree About Keilty

    Any club taking Vickery would have to have a clause making him shave his head 

    Worst Hair Cut in AFL history

    Then maybe we are looking at him. He's by no means the complete hack many on here believe he is

    I'd certainly take Vickery over Daw but yes he would have to get a haircut

    Bit over an overstatement considering it's only the third worst at their club. (Hello Ivan and Dusty)

    Tigers suggesting Vickery has done a deal with another club. He will finish his season in the VFL.

    • 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.
