    Melbourne are silly dealing with the grubby Crows club. We'll look desperate .  R2 pick for a  inconsistent injury prone player ?   

    Bin it. Move on.

    Fully fit Fritsch and McAdam could be a nightmare duo to matchup for opposition defences in 2024

    I can't see them both in the same team, it's one or the other.  Unless we are planning to only play one Key forward

    Shane may be just the jigsaw piece  needed to complete the forward puzzle. Enigma to some of course but a great western in the tradition of Stand off at the Corvid Corral.

    reckon they both play round 1 personally.

    Nice to have a Western Australian who wants to come here!

    He's had an interesting career. I didn't realise he only started playing AFL in 2024. His SANFL form in limited games pushed him into AFL contention via mature aged pre draft by Carlton before Adelaide wanted him in the McGovern deal.

    He certainly consistently hits the scoreboard. Has some serious athleticism.

    I think he will be a great addition with his speed, ability to mark as a medium fwd (186cm) and seems to be clean with the ball.

    So we recruit a bloke to play VFL again LOL

    Fritsch and McAdam will work well

    Oh well, atleast we'll have a half decent Casey side in 24.

    Please dont recruit Gunston as well. His career is all but done.

    There are no readymade forwards out there coming to us. We can win it as long as our 4 main forwards stay healthy and we send Trac forward when necessary.

    I'm bereft. That's a cumulative half hour a day I now have to find something else to do with!

    But welcome, Shane, to you and to your fairly successful first name, MFC-wise. As to your surname, we'll endeavour to get it right by the time of your 30th goal in 2024.

     

    Would Blake Howes swap his Shane Woewodin / Shane McGrath 22?

    Closer to the NT and add the fact he had relocated to Adelaide for a few years before getting taken by Carl/Adel

    Would be good to land his brother Ash Johnson also

    I can see us looking at a small fwd line with both playing.  You would hope with what we have paid he is playing round 1.

    I"m sure he will be, but how long it lasts i dunno.  Hopefully I'm eating my words after 20+ games and 40 goals!

    We used the F2nd because we have 2 of them and only one F3rd.  It means we can still trade our F1st.

    We have 2 future 3rds care of Harmes, no?

    (😁 A typo no doubt, YB, but...)

    To any who think his career so far hasn't been up to AFL standard, that'll be good news!

    Yes, and I hadn’t realised he drives a De Lorien.

    Yes you're right, sorry.  I was thinking Fullarton cam for a F3rd.

    He will take Melksham's spot until at least well into the year when (hopefully) Melky is over his ACL. When they are all fit and in form will be an interesting selection query...

    • 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.
