yes, he really is that slow

his kicking is up and under and he doesn't hit the scoreboard

he wouldn't improve our side one iota

Fair enough, we don't need poor users of the ball.  Thats why Tyson is out.

    Whats Anthony Miles like, anyone been watching?

     He's in an age bracket that would suit us.

    Two things for me, Danger is a terrible kick, even Crows fans will say that, and Jones' 2m handballs out the back of packs normally go where they're meant too.....:lol:

    hell no to armitage. injury prone, slow and poor skills.  no to gaff as well. I'd be all up for bringing in aaron hall. His best is very good and was leading the brownlow last year (or the year before) after the first 4 or 5 rounds from memory.

    i wonder if weitering is worth chasing as a kp defender ? i'm sure with a better structure around him he could recapture his debut year form. is still only 20

    they have dropped him a few times this year and they are looking at a big turnover this year so might be interested in some ready to play players plus a pick

    I'd like to see the club target Jane Bunn. Seeing we are now struggling to play the MCG and our game plan is more suited to Etihad I think Jane would be quite helpful on getting first hand info and long range weather forecasts, helping us prepare for the wet and windy well before our opposition. She could also be quite helpful in ways to prepare and recover from our NT games, particularly Darwin if we continue. Another advantage would be knowledge of destinations and changing weather patterns for interstate games. IMO she should be our first priority over Gaff.

    Looking at the background, she may have already joined the Bombers. An experimental drug injection program would actually explain a couple of.... things.

    Zac Jones coffs it up as much as Tyson. Hopefully he can clean that area up like his brother did. Gaff is the only one I would go for.

    No he didn’t. Nathan Jones turns it over all the time.

    Would be interesting to talk to Anthony Miles. How much does he want to prove the tigers wrong, that he can play in a senior 22 squad, or has missing out on a flag and playing VFL killed his spirit?

    if he still wants success he could be a gun recruit

    Fascinating. I wonder if it's a comparable situation to Schache for the Dogs second round pick. Or in our case as they don't need picks, for a comparable player like Tyson

    Brian Wilson not unlike Miles and look what he became.... A Brownlow Medalist and integral cog for John Northey in the late 80ts

    Go Get

    Miles is another NQR I reckon - not sure he’d replace anyone as an inside mid for us

    Haven’t seen enough of him to know exactly. But if he is close to selection, but not getting there, he may be a good senior recruit who has a point to prove. 

    Stephen Powell comes to mind, no one saw his 2000 season coming...

    carlton wouldn't get rid of weitering.. he's gonna be a pillar and leader of their team one day. but, in saying that, i would trade tyson for him every day of the week. win-win for both clubs.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
