Just been delisted.

In a team lacking outisde run from the midfield, do we consider picking him up or possibly rookie him?

If we can get him for nothing, why not?

    Only 23, if healthy worth a rookie

    I thought he had a good season in 2017, but the Hawks delisted him.  North have delisted him 12 months later.

    Being delisted twice in 12 months is a bit of a worry, however theres a decent chance someone will pick him up.

    Sure why not. And Toumpas as well. One on each wing.

    Id rather Usain Bolt. You will get the same result

    If we’re in the market for one eye catching run per game that makes casual supporters go gee he looks good, then go for it.

    Not quite. Would possibly rookie him but honestly would rather just go an 18 y.o

    Put Garlett through an Intense off season endurance program and turn him into a fast burst outside mid if he is on list next year, bust a gut or you're out. Would be the same result as recruiting hartung though if they both shirk when it's their turn to go all in and don't have a ruthless kamikaze attitude

    Very surprising given his body of work at North. Seems like something behind the scenes that is making clubs turn their back on him.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing watts again as a rookie after port drops him

    serious?

    yep, yep, nope.

    Sure he looks good running down a wing, but after he immediately turns it over by foot, all our players' would be out of position.

    Opposition teams would be instructed to leave him free, so he can end up with the ball and virtually guarantee you'll get it back.

    No no no

    We have finally progressed to a point where, as a club, we no longer have to waste a single second of our time considering using a spot on our list for players like this.

    Hallelujah.

    When we are on about having A graders why would we even consider?

    A definite no from me.  Jayden Hunt has some similar attributes, but is a much better footballer.  Continue to work on Hunty's development and build his confidence, and save the list space for (hopefully) another Jason Taylor late pick gem.

    • 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.
