    I'm pretty happy we're taking advantage of the Cat B option. If athletes from overseas, like Cox and the Irish, can make it, then someone who's grown up playing footy can make it. No idea who this kid is, though.

    Info from a contact in recruiting...

    Trialled at Brisbane, Adelaide, Essendon and St. Kilda before choosing Melbourne.

    184cm.  Likely position - half back.

    Lives with and best mates with Joel Smith.

    should have read this before I wasted my time with the Burgan interview. Did not even say his height or what type of footy player he was.

    I'm surprised he's that short, if he was playing key position in juniors and is a fast bowler.

    Only 184cm - no wonder he didn’t make it as a fast bowler. Interested to see his kicking and speed.

    Most fast bowlers are not that tall, 184 is a good height for a bowler

    Lee is 187cm. You posted the height of Brett Lee the American college football player. All good it’s the first hit I got from google as well.

    Showing your age. The new generation of fast bowlers (Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins) all 190+. There aren’t too many kicking around Aus under 190 now. Australia’s loss our gain. 

    Just thought we were getting a 196cm key defender - I’m happy to settle for a highly skilled half back ?

    Yeah, Steyn is from the stone age. I picked a selection from various era's. You said 184 was to short to be much of a fast bowler. Do you reckon any of those mentioned wouldn't be as effective now?

    If he turns out no good, he should change his name to Mike so he can have a fresh start in TV and media.

    • 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.
