If so, it can't be Bruce... might well be membrey though, which is worse. He really is the current Kent Kingsley

Bruce seems totally committed to getting to the Dogs.  Can't see where we fit in at all.

Uhoh. Yeah, Membrey is probably a worse option. Anyway, whinge, whinge, whinge.

    I'm not much of a Membrey fan, but he did kick 44 goals for the season.  I'd take those 40+ goals every day of the week right now.

    Depends what we pay and who he keeps out of the side.

    True.  Would he play as the second tall alongside McDonald?  I feel like a third tall is too much for us with Fritsch and Melksham already down there, not to mention Trac spending minutes inside our forward 50 as well.

    Yeah, I reckon he's competing with Weideman for the second tall role.

    I doubt there'll be any movement on this front until next year. Apart from Daniher, Bruce and Jenkins, unfortunately just isnt  much available atm. Of the others remaining Mason Wood is an interesting one, could be good but is super inconsistent and doesnt exactly form a formidable duo with McDonald imo. 

    If Cameron dosent re-sign at the Giants next year then I'm sure there'll be a bonanza involving every vic club to land him, likewise with Ben King. I think the club is still in the mind of hoping Weideman comes good this year and will also be interesting to see how they see Petty developing next year as either part of the forward or back groups. The club should at least wait another year and see if that 2nd tall spot is still an absolute must fill with better talent when at least there are seemingly better players to look at in 2020.

    Jenkins is good close to goal...but Preuss should do that job with a bit of improvement.

    i would like to see Preuss get a bit more of an education as a forward, he is tall and strong enough to worry opposition teams, hopefully we can find some small crumbing forwards who can actually find the ball and kick some goals.

    Nick Dal Santo this morning suggested Big time we should go after Josh Jenkins. I agree with his thinking!!

    Sorry about that, everybody.  I shall now have a much needed bath and go to bed without my supper.  Shame on me.

    Jenkins is a million times more mobile and dangerous than Pruess will ever be!

    Yep, that nails it. It's Bruce. Yeah, very meh, IMO. But anyway. He's a stopgap option, not a long term option IMO. I'd prefer we try recruiting a couple of quick smalls to compliment Melksham, Frisch, Hannan and Petracca.

    Apologies for being slightly obsessed with this idea of late, but what do y’all with your learned opinions think about this guy (JL) filling the above-mentioned role? 

    (Also how do you embed a video properly?)

    I like it. Lockhart showed a good goal sense as evidence by that clip. But I think we need more speed in our forward 50. And more x factor. Lockhart is the sort that might kick 20 next year.

    I can confirm that although Elliott’s nickname is Basil, he wasn’t the Basil.

    Yeah, I like how much pluck and ambition he’s shown just getting on the ground this year. He’s clearly very driven and naturally talented. All this and yet to do a pre-season with the club. I can’t help but feel he could really impress all of us grumpy fux next year.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
