If a club is undertaking aggressive list management there will be errors. NO club is error free. Richmond - Chris Yarran, Geelong - Mitch Clark.

    Neither do I Rif. If there is a perfect recruiting department I have yet to see it. I think some are getting little tough on our ability in this area over the last few years.

    This year, without any high draft picks and not much to trade will be a really big test for our recruiters. We need pace, polish and goals

    No active role means we’ll be able to replace him in the supplemental period (assuming that rule stays in place). 
     

    A 3 year deal who was completely unwanted by his previous club seems a mistake. But we have to assume other teams had 2 year deals on the table.

    The shame is he’s was the type of player we needed and at the end of 2018 we were in a strong position to recruit players. 
     

    Anyway, hope he can get healthy

    I think part of that is going to come from trades.

    Is there any evidence we had to take him on a 3 year deal to enable the May deal to happen?

    How would that work? He was uncontracted, GC didnt offer him one, they weren't trying to offload a contract, and he wasn't a FA so no compo.

    Tomlinson was a mistake, he came to fill the wing role and he was unable to do that. As a result we are looking for a new wingman this year. Mahoney has more of a role than trading than drafting so please don't give him credit for drafting 

    Do you have any actual knowledge of Mahoney's role in trading vs drafting?

    If not, your comment is classic. Your anti-Mahoney bias means he doesn't get your credit when he deserves it but will be the scapegoat for our mistakes, as that suits your argument.

    considering he was stakeknives and cost nothing and probably was on a low wage it was well worth the risk, was a needed position and he was a really promising youngster early, unfortunate it didnt work out but it was totally out of our control and im happy we tried

    I hope he’s able to get healthy, wonder if we may look at bringing him into the coaching department for the women’s team as a football role (as perhaps a way of learning a skill for the future). 

    Bit annoying he still stays on the list, means we can only really replace him with a rookie draftee I believe.

    can be replaced through SPP so any player who has nominated for a draft and not been selected or recently been delisted

    we've had a mixed back through this process: Lockhart - jury still out, MBrown - worked, Bennell - bust but worth the crack

    so he's on the list but becomes 'inactive' like the old long-term injury list which used to mean you could upgrade Cat. A rookies to play senior games but they scratched that idea and made rookies available to be picked form round 1, however category b rookies still require a list spot to be upgraded to play seniors. however if a player is inactive usually due to early retirement, long-term concussion, acl or mental health then u can pick a replacement player who gets a contract for the remainder of the season to plug the whole. im not too sure what the rules are when it comes to that inactive player becoming available again but quite possibly the newest installment of rules is theyre out for the season...

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
