    Not automatic top 22, but will be a good punt at the price we will have to pay.

    Good size. 

    I havnt seen him play but if he has outside run and can push forward he definitely adds to to the team.

    I have a gut feel Balic would be an excellent get for MFC.

    I've seen noting in his "highlights" than screams...must get.

    Seems just another good VFL player..

    Huge difference between mixing it up in the western carnival aka  the wawful, and being effective at AFL 

    Hope the club isnt being too  rosey here. Still I suppose someone has to take BK's place  :rolleyes:

    99% sure he will be a Demon in 2018.

    Compared to Scott Pendlebury as a player and coached by Justin Plapp at Sandringham Dragons.

    Looks like he played with one hand at times with his wrist injury before being drafted. All behind him now.

    Dees have the inside edge here.

    Pick 45.

    At this point the only player not compared to Pendlebury as a junior was Pendlebury...

    For those who haven't seen him play, the reason he's so highly rated as he just has time when he gets the ball in traffic. That's the Pendles comparison. His kicking was terrible but he's worked hard on improving it and it is quite good when not under pressure (not helpful). Doesn't have speed or break away speed like Oliver and Trac but does have serious Scully endurance. 

    He is something different than what we have but considering we are a little slow at times and really we only have 4? Spaces on our list, maybe not the best fit.

    Never seen him play.

    Not sure if he has outside pace.

    Certain his injury problems are over.

    99% certain he is ours.

    Nah! Never seen him play. Watched a few u18 highlights just b4 my most recent post though. 

    I dont think I mentioned anything about outside pace. Do you mean outside run? Maybe I was referring too run and carry. ?

    Yeah he said he was over his wrist injury in the video I watched. He sounds like an honest lad. And yes I believe him.

    In my opinion after a little research and connecting the dots. Yes I believe he is now going to be a Demon. I found an extra 1%. 

    99%+1%= 100%

    Welcome Harley Demon! Brrrm brrrm...

    Look at what you said.

    "If hes that bloody good why is he getting away ?

    Both are using the homesick reason and both are getting away. So therefore Lever is mentally brittle. You never said anything about how many games they played, you just called him out because of "getting away, being homesick and therefore being mentally brittle".

    I thought you knew something of football. That youd trot out such an assinine comparison quite frankly beggars belief. The background and qualifications to both circumstances couldn't be more different than chalk and cheese.

    You are allowed to admit you are wrong at least once, it is not too difficult.

    Stop changing the goalposts by bringing in new criteria.

    You made a statement, so stand by it. 

    You also don't need to try and belittle my footy knowledge, inferring I know nothing about the game,  it doesn't help your position or win an argument.

    You chose to change the nature of the context and you full well know it.

    One has used his 'homesickness' to facilitate 'indefinite leave'  . The other's simply an old ruse. You know it.

    One has the application to to job and club of moment to do his job as vesr he can. The other...god knows. All too much.

    If you choose to make argument..do it properly. Dont posey pick to suit. Youve been caught out. Sort ofstuff a cheap tabloid would employ.

    As to admitting wrong. When ever your ready.

    He's another one who probably couldn't hurt to take with a late pick.  He's had a lot of injuries but he's meant to be a decent ball-user.  Is he any worse than some of our fringe players?  Worst case we give up a pick in the 50s for a Casey player.  No big deal.

    He's probably a better option than Kennedy, JKH etc as depth with the chance he could become best 22. Worth a punt for a later round pick for sure.

    Is he any better? Not entirely sure what the upside is in taking him. Some great players have been picked up in the third round. He's not going to one of them if he can't crack it for regular Freo games.

    Or even free up a spot for category B players like Maynard and Smith, who've both shown early signs of potentially cracking into best 22.

    We should only be trading for players who you could imagine playing round 1 in the seniors next year.

    I assume it would be a two year contract.

    Would prefer a one year contract with an option to extend but that does not seem to be the norm.

    He's been injured pretty much the whole year.

    Ta RM. But that's not a great sign in itself.

    It's not, but give him a two year deal and spend year one rebuilding his body the way we want it.  He might come good.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
