Ron or Johnny.

 

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.

Helloooooooooooo.

(Someone will get it)

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

Jake Lever is now a Demon and Touk Miller and Peter Wright will be lined up against the MFC on Sunday.

... looks like 2 parts of the quaddie ?

 

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.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
