While it sounds a lot less silly than 6 months ago I'd still think it's not quite worth the punt. The point is though we are probably going to need cover at some point.

I would like to have him on the list after all he was taken at No1. However he is risky and a risk on himself. The head is delicate and having concussion several times and being knocked out is not a place for him on a footy ground. The effects are there for reminder and the risk is high.

He can play local football and the risk is still there and no different.  A collision is a collision and a high contact could and possibly  have ramifications.  No ! life is precious  and his health is more important.

    Very true Nos but it is up to Paddy and his medicos plus family to determine his life wishes. We can only support them if we feel his passion and commitment to play if medically ok'd is for us as a Club.

    Paddy is in a bit of strife:  mccartin-sent-to-vfl-tribunal-for-brutal-strike

    It seems so unlike him one has to wonder if the concussion or medication have affected his judgement and/or his moods.  I know those things aren't an excuse but I really feel for him.

    Really bad look for Paddy. 8+ weeks and will likely ruin any hope of a AFL come back.

    That was some haymaker he threw. Thuggish behavior that needs to be dealt with in the severest possible terms. No excuse for that whatsoever. No one expects to be assaulted like that on the field. Disgraceful.

    Not even a “heat of the moment” pseudo excuse from someone who should know a lot better.

    Was he the correct pick in hindsight? People are saying it more and more!

    He’s already been delisted and then retired so I would say no

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
