This may seem somewhat of a harsh comment, but this neither excites nor frustrates me. 

Disco staying or going is not going to change the direction we go in.

    There is a lot of up side with him, just needs game time and coaching development.

    I reckon he’s a kid with talent. He just needs time. Sign him up and keep playing him.

    Can definitely see this kid getting better and better, and he’s most welcome to do that with the Demons.

    Yawn     wont matter if he stays or goes to me

    Maybe we should link his pay to disposals might motivate him to get of the bottom of the disposal list

    Completely ineffectual in my view

    I think we need to play him down back for the rest of the year and going forward. He, Lever and May should form a good three pronged defence next year (with Tomlinson likely gone and T Mac probably out of contract) and all played well in our great win over Sydney late last year.

    He and Petty are not working up forward in the slightest. We need to find other options, whether that's T Mac, BBB or Melksham in a few weeks - natural forwards please.

    For some reason he reminds of me of Howes.

    There is a difference Turner likes the contest all the time.

    Dunstall would not get a kick in our forward line and people expect him to goals without teaching him forward craft.

    He is still only kid as for teaching him a forward coach if we get one someone with that ability because we haven't got one now, now that's not to say moving from the backline to the forward line is going to work, but they need to gives these kids the tools to work on.

    22 year old key defender / forward, good mark and kick who doesn’t mind a bit of physicality, Disco has been hampered by injury. We need players of his ilk but needs to have a good run at it.

    The criticism on here has all the credibility of a plan that involves 7 small nuclear plants being owned by the Government, from a Government that does not want to own things.

    It's a team game and not everyone is going to be a star.  This bloke could be very, very good though.

    The lad has played under 12 games and shown plenty.  Loves the contest, is agile and has plenty of upside.  He will never be a target forward, but a good 3rd option - and can swing down back.

    How many young players do we have that can do that and have his upside?  Not many.  I'm excited for his future with us.

    Has been showing some good signs and the FD obviously rate him.

    Not sure being a forward is his best position, so would love to see them move him down back especially next year if Tmac and Tommo leave.

    That's what a swingman can do, I guess?! (funny old language, English, innit?)

    Re the OP article, 'closing in on', as opposed to 'inks' smacks of Club (via AFL) media trawling for good news about us.

    As to DT himself, goodo!

    • 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.
