My thought was that, as soon as I saw he was delisted, there would be a thread about him on Demonland. 

No from me.

Would rather his running power on a wing over anyone else we have. Could be a good plug for a couple of years for a packet of chips. 

Certainly helps with our obvious inside/outside imbalance. 

Maybe he's the perfect moneyball trade.

I think the club is beyond getting a player at 30 years of age. But if he landed in our lap for minimum chips why not.

My thoughts exactly, although thought there could be merit in getting a replacement 30+ year old premiership player on the list!

Probably a backup option in case the Langdon / Tomlinson (if we’re getting him for the wing) deals fall over

Yes as a DFA, absolute upgrade on players we’ve already delisted and Stretch, JKH and Wagner. Let’s remember that our bottom six getting a game are very ordinary, I base how we’re looking at these six. Not every player we bring in can be a star but they can be an upgrade on our lower end players.

For those with short memories here is the 2007 draft in which master was taken, There are some interesting names and he was taken pick 3 just before Cale Morton. McEvoy at 9 and Dangerfield at 10 with Rioli at 12 wow. Shows that the gems can be later than expected. Furthermore Tarrant at 15 harry taylor 17 and Alex Rance 18. For me I think we can do better than Masten

Wasn't he part of the Judd trade?

Yup.

I believe West Coast asked for picks 1 and 3 for Judd.  When Carlton refused, they asked for 3 and Kennedy.

Cale Morton.... forgot about him. Looking at the top 10 players he wasn’t the only dud.

Look at all those names we poo pooed to get Morton.

We're our own worst enemy.

When you take out Hurn and Jetta kicking it to you and take out the options of kicking it to Kennedy and Darling are we sure Masten is better than JKH and Stretch?

The basic stats on this year say he wasn't.

Upgrading the bottom end of the list is smart if you're upgrading to an AFL quality player, I'm not sure Masten still is one. I'd probably stick with one of our own guys who's still young enough to improve or take a chance with the draft.

We should be rewarded for not screwing with the careers of Dangerfield, Rioli or Rance. Morton had a heap of talent and no development.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
