Saw the name Noah Howes mentioned as someone who could be considered for the MSD. Had a look and he is Blake's brother. 195cm forward playing for South Adelaide in the SANFL.

    He’s definitely not Blake’s brother

    The AFL refers to us having one free spot because of Gus' retirement, but what of the Smith spot?

    He is not allowed to play, but hasn't as yet had a decision in his case.

    Surely he goes onto the LTI and a spot opens up, as he is very unlikely to play again this year.

    Sadly I believe given the reasons for him not playing he cannot be out on a LTI list. 
    It is  however taking a hellova long time. What has happened to “justice delayed, justice denied”?

    If he played for certain other clubs, he would have been cleared and playing again already. Most of them won this weekend.

    Does he qualify for the good bloke defence?

    I think we are now into about 8 months on this and no result.

    Imagine if he was a Chinese swimmer and they found that his sample was contaminated.

    AFL should allow Dees an added mid season spot and let JSm1th29 go to Roos.  🤣🤣🤣 Thats fair enough.  They get someone who can actually try to defend.  His penance is he gets to be overwhelmed each week and monstered by opposition key forwards Dees get to add a new young player who is so desperate to play that they do everything right to succeed.

    I think Willie Rioli's case took 18 months to get to a resolution. Then his 2 year penalty was backdated to reflect his time in limbo.

    Looks like we might be a player down for a while yet.

    Oskar Smartt from Bendigo and Tobyn Murray from Geelong were good in the young guns game. Like to see more and would fit in as youngsters with more upside.  Murray especially had skills and balance to make an AFL midfielder.

    Not sure if a 179cm midfielder in Murray is a need for us.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we go for a developing talk ruckman/forward.

    I like the prospect of Joe Pike from Geelong Falcons. 203cm ruckman who's a big lad that gets around the ground winning possessions and has got good follow up work. His ruck craft if also pretty impressive and certainly gives his mids first use.

    Jasper Scaife is a 19 year old 198cm tall forward from West Perth who's kicked 8 goals in 3 senior games so far this year including a bag of 4 against Perth Demons.

    Would be a good forward depth prospect especially with the uncertainty around Pettys future and Jefferson not coming on as we would have liked.

    I agree.

    Joel is being treated appallingly.Why hasn’t the AFL given the public a timeline for the resolution of this issue?Why hasn’t the MFC demanded a quicker resolution? And does the AFL Players Association care?

    Dees have no young midfielders coming through. If you look at Casey, they got smashed in the midfield by Tigers last week in clearances and through the middle.  I think we lack any depth in the midfield especially after losing Brayshaw, Jordon and not getting young mids (aside from Windsor) in the last 3-4 drafts.  I’d like to see us look at young midfielder in this mid year draft and again with our first pick in November National draft. 

    If we wanted a ruckman, in my view Coburg ruckman Cooper Keogh would be the one to strongly consider if available.

    Then one of the WA teams would take him before us.

    Yes, whilst I get that, both Jordon and Brayshaw were bigger bodied mids around the 186cm and 188cm tall. We need depth in that area.

    There's a difference between wanting mids and wanting the type that we are lacking which is the mid to tall midfielder that the like of Harmes, Brayshaw, Jordon and Dunstan have left in terms of depth.

    Yes that was my point.  We have lost our depth in mids (departures of Brayshaw, Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan) have left us in need our recruits to fill this void. I would like to us fix this, starting in the mid year draft.

    Yes you say this, yet you recommended a 179cm mid. What’s it to be?

    I think you will find that there are a couple of entitees with far great powers than the 3 you have mentioned involved with he decision making in Joel's case and until these are completed nothing will be known.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
