    Could we clone him for Carlton & Collingwood?

     

    Edit:- North have never heard of due diligence, get on the phone ask a Melbourne person or supporter or look at his selections, no too hard give him a try. What could go wrong?   hahahahahahha

    No we can pass thanks.

     

    Edit:- Maybe his role is to provide his picks and the club ignore them, it might just work

    In further news Prendergast's wage is to be paid up by the 15 other clubs.

    Ben Cousins has been touted for a player welfare role and Mark Neeld for a role in player development.

    “LOOK 

    No just one of me, isn't that right Barry?

    I think they must have really liked Gysberts, we could get more couldn't we Barry, you bet Barry, we could corner the market, is Lucas Cook available?

    I struggle to even find the words for it.

    I wonder if his position as 'academy dude' came about because his personal sales pitch was 'I picked great players, the greatest, it is all Melbourne's fault for not developing them properly, you should get me to develop them too.'.

    North haven't let any of their kids from the last two drafts (2014-15) get any games, not even 15 between the dozen of them.

    Bizarrely, two of their three most experienced players under 24 are Hrovat and Williams.

    This isn't the bloke that promised Rory Sloane's parents that the MFC would pick him at pick 19 in the 2008 draft??. Then proceeded to overlook him twice- Strauss and then Bennel at pick 35.

    Where is Craig Cameron these days, his drafting record would be one of the worse in the AFL

    This is such an ignorant comment but I can't be bothered giving a detailed response other than to say while Craig was there we played finals 7 of about 11 years while he was doing the job that is now covered by at least 3 people - Taylor, Viney, O'Donnell. I'm not sure how many full time recruiters we have now but Craig had no full time help.

    In the first rookie draft he picked Junior, Nathan Bassett, Daniel Ward, Matthew Bishop and Russell Robertson. Not a bad collection that.

    Like anyone associated from that time at Melbourne you never know how much was there fault and how much was other peoples and part of the culture of failure.

    Got some decent late picks with Gawn and Jetta, even big Fitz offers more than most late picks. Scully and Trengove were no brainers if we didn't like Dustin Martin. Watts might even have been the right choice if developed properly. Gysberts had the talent.

    Strauss, Blease and Tapscott were the 3 top picks that really look bad in hindsight. All 3 had persistent and continuous injuries. But they also had big flaws. Maybe those first 2 don't break their legs and Blease gets a tank developed from an early age and Strauss gets confidence beating up on Eddie Betts and playing consistently. Neither had the work ethic or confidence which sums up MFC at that time.

    The stories about Rory Sloane just make me mad. Maybe Barry P had the right idea and somehow we Melbourne'd him in to picking the wrong players.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
