    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)

    • 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.
