    This news has a bad whiff about it.

    Brilliant strategy of trading in 2 players who are coming off long term injuries. If Bruce is only on our books for 1 year, then a straight swap for Tomlinson is ok. But if we extend his contract then we've lost the plot. 

    Bring back Josh Mahoney.

    Pinch hitter with presumably salary benefits if it’s a Tomlinson swap. 
    Giant no deal if there is a salary impost back to Bulldogs.

    Contrary to others this could be a master stroke. He like Tommo needs time and training to get over the ACL. Upside if he does snd good kick to Tommo with the ups and downs of Bevo.

    If Bruce doesn't go well up forward  could play CHB maybe.  
     

    Interesting to see if any payment for 2 years of Tommo contact of $500,000. 

    Something out of nothing !!

    Fills a need at Casey with Mitch Brown retiring. 

    That is what I was thinking if fit he could fill a role for us, seemed to kick a few goals for Saints and Dogs, 197cm, 97kg averages 1.5 goals perfect replacement for Mitch and has a bit of mongrel in him.

    Didn't hear it myself, but pretty sure it came from a caller and Cal Twomey said something along the lines of 'have heard it, haven't been able to confirm it'.

    Of course Josh Bruce could be on a  'pathfinder' mission for Naughton.

    I have it on good authority that on top of the medical he was asked to answer a multiple choice question.

    I'm pleased to inform D'landers that my sauce (whose identity i am unfortunately not at liberty to reveal) gave me exclusive access to the question asked which i present for your reading pleasure below...

     

    ...."You are playing a KF role starting deep in the goal square.  However, Big Maxy has decided to push forward and drop into the hole at the top of the square.  You recognise the situation (ie; too many talls/opponents).  You are also under instruction to make space for Max to be able to either make a short lead or if he has a mis-match, for him to stay home in the square for a relatively easy contested 1 v 1 mark from a dumped bomb out of the middle.

    Do you"...

    A)  Lead hard to the left pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

    B)  Lead straight up the guts drawing your opponent to about 30 meters, feign as if doubling back but instead push off your opponent putting in a hard but short lead for a hit up option knowing you have a very high likelihood of converting from about 45 out either directly in front or on a slight angle?

    C)  Lead hard to the right pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

    Apparently he chose the only correct options (A & C) and they are finalising the trade papers as we speak.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
