Fits the MFC mantra of hard at it (with questionable skills). 
Will it delay the progress of one of our youngsters? Probably, but it will show them what’s required to get to premiership levels. 
If dirt cheap why not.

    GWS sniffing at him for their rookie list, should be sounded out at least

    We should be sniffing too. We lost Tim Smith who if not always injured would be getting a semi-regular gig in the seniors and he hasn't been replaced by a big body.

    Can we please get another Townsend on the list.

    I remember the last one we had being a pretty decent player.

    He gave Nathan Jones a massive hit at the City End in 2018 for memory.

    If he can hurt the oppo, and kick goals...that is the minimum.  I think he is a tad slow, which unless players are extra special in other facets, we should stay away from.

    Is there anyone supporters don't want?

    At this rate we'll need to delist another 10 players to fit everyone in.

    You'd be all over him TGR being a Tigs man.

    SEN reporting GWS is likely to pick him up

    Didn't they have him before Tigers?

    Yea. the article was saying that he may go back to where he came (like the geelong ruckman who is back at the Suns).

    Rubbish footballer. Pass.

    Please don't give me the old he's played in a premiership though. Up there along with few other spuds like Mitch Morton, Mark Blake, Jon Simpkin, Steven Armstrong and many others.

    Stuart Anderson, who Freo recruited after the 96 Flag thinking he would bring some experience

    All he brought was a lack of work ethic and exposure to how limited his ability was when not surrounded by stars

    Not opposed to recruiting this guy. Will be decent depth as a role player up forward. Probably fight ANB for a spot. Looks like he might be off to giants and we haven’t been linked.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • 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?
