    That's good he will fit in well with the rest of his team mates.

    We haven't chosen anyone yet.

    Once again the club is slow to act! #sackgoodwin #sacktaylor #sacknorthey

    But seriously, good luck to Jason Taylor.  His night(s) of the year where he gets to go on an giant easter egg hunt.  And word is he is actually pretty good at it.

    If we do grab Jackson there's a case for being optimistic - Oliver was the same kind of deal. We identified a player we absolutely believed in, paid the price to get them rather than follow the implied rules of the hundreds of phantom drafts, and came out laughing.

    Doing that with a tall inside midfielder is great. To do that with a ruckman/forward, at a time when young rucks in particular are in desperate short supply, would be truly stellar.  There must be only half a dozen truly outstanding rucks of any age in the AFL at the moment - the All-Aus selection is an annual two-horse race and there just aren't that many future contenders lurking in the under-25 age group.

    If it works, the rewards are enormous and if Taylor & co believe in him, then it's a thrill.

    Sorry.  Got a little off topic to the Jackson debate.  I guess my main point is - that's got to be a thrill, having that much responsibility when you believe in your own ability to shine through.

    Good to see they've fixed the schoolboy howlers.  Credit where it's due etc but it should never have gone out like that.

    "You’d expect that the early selections would go on to play some really significant AFL footy."

    Well yeah, because a few of the past selections have opened up the opportunity for them, by playing insignificant footy...

    Gibbo is the young fella who does the interviews on the club website. He's usually pretty solid but unfortunately, he's had a clanger there.

    Gone are the days of editors and sub-editors - he would have had 15-30 minutes to get that up on the site, so I'll cut him some slack.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
