all the initial reports are saying geelong which makes sense given touhy and o'connor are so settled and ingrained there as well as his apparent connection with pops kelly from their time at the dons but i hope we're in play here. ticks a lot of boxes. excellent balance between elite kicking and blistering pace, would arrive as a DFA so no cost included in picking him up and would be an ideal replacement for hibbo long term and by joining us he'd get a proper chance at a flag. we also have the irish heritage and connection ingrained inour clubs history which could be appealing to mckenna, every irishman looks up to jim and the chance to play for the same team is surely a lure.

sidenote, how on earth are teh cats fitting in Hopper, McKenna, Grundy, Bruhn and Bailey Scott? asking for a mate

    I thought he left because he was homesick. You'd want to make sure he's not going to bail again after a year or two.

    Maybe it was partly due to homesickness, but iirc it had more to do with the shellacking he copped from the media and footy fans alike over the positive Covid test result that necessitated the postponement of their game against us in 2020.

    Agree. Cats would already be at the salary cap max in my view. Sure probably Higgins and Isaac-Smith retire but there’s extra $$ for many existing cats.

    Walked out to go home with a year to go on his contract, buyer beware.

    Plus "Geelong" is a Gaelic word.

    I believe it is the shortened form of "Gee - long in the tooth", gaelic for middle aged footballer.

    Ah to be sure to be sure. Would fit right in at Geelong.

    • 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.
