    Let me guess, he could replace Spargo?

    It NEVER even enterered my head... Seriously though, I think he could be worth a Punt!

    If they never drop ANB, Aarts would never get a game with us. 

    We have to try out Laurie and Howes and I think Woey will be better than him anyway.

    Yeah couldn't think or a worse player in Arts to put on a list as depth. Remember this game clearly.

    Would have rather kept Baker

    I believe we will only consider delisted players to be put on the rookie list and I think we need ruck types and good tall project players since most midfield and small forward positions we have multiple players at this stage.

    Could do a lot better 

    Stark  even with baggage a far better  player and a match winner.

    Remember his hit ( tackle) on Vines on Anzac Eve 2019 !

    I think he's got something but it wouldn't be MFC as the team benefiting from his services.

    After something like that occurs, a player is haunted.

    Better still why don't we delist every player every and just enlist every player that is delisted by other clubs, I reckon that would satisfy picket fence.

    Before we try out anyone they have to earn it 

    Laurie, Howes and Woewodin haven’t yet ticked that box IMO

    If Laurie can improve his fitness he might get a look next year - he does have skill just not convinced he is currently an upgrade on anyone in the 1s

    Howes I’m not convinced will make it - I know he has plenty of people here that think he’s going to - very happy to be proved wrong 

    Woey is a good honest footballer - good enough to be a regular AFL player ? - next year will tell us a lot more I think

    Please expand on your opinion on Howes.

    He did ok in his first few Casey games before the stress fracture took him out for the majority of the season.

    What have you seen to write him off already?

    I’m not writing anyone off simply saying I’m not convinced he will make it as an AFL footballer 

    There are hundreds of guys that a good footballers but never quite reach the level required 

    Howes is neat in his ball handling and disposal but I he doesn’t get it enough at VFL level to suggest to me he can impact at AFL level

    Does he have any significant stand out qualities ? Pace , evasion, disposal , marking , physical presence? If he has they have been shown in cameos only hence - so I’m not convinced - as I said very happy to be proven wrong and we won’t know until the end of next season or the one after that (assuming he has no more injury concerns)

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
