    Would be a very handy addition. Houston's inclusion at half back would free up Rivers to become a permanent mid. He's a great kick and would provide plenty of run.

    I'd be very keen on Houston but, then again, I'm a "glass half full" kind of person. 

    I think Dan's more of a "glass about to be empty" kind of person.

    At his age he should come pretty cheap too

    You think?

    He won't be cheap imo.

    I guess it's what you are thinking we will have to give up for him compared to his quality level. All Australian last year. Contracted for another 2 years.

    Gun. You’d happily give up a 2025 or 2026 first rounder for him especially with us having F/S and academy players coming through in those years.

    The contracted part worries me, you'd be giving up a lot for him

    But looking at your avatar, we have the ability to draft guns with later picks and rookie selections. Maybe it's time to get some ready made players with our first round picks in the teens to beef up the midfield and overall playing list as the kids develop!

    Two first rounders for a guy who's 27??? Yeh, nah

    And highy, highly assumptive that f/s draftees will nominate us. Kalani White is by no means over the line

    But we could get 15 McVee's with the picks we'd give up!

    he’d be looking for a big 4-5 year deal at his age. last big contract. and we’d have to give up plenty of picks. interested for sure but wary

    I’d be more interested in trading for him if Harrison is dead set on getting to SA it shouldn’t matter Crows or Port.

    The club already knows where Kalani is playing.

    My bad, I thought he was 30.

    Not sure where I got that number but I thought I heard it said he was.

    Interesting that we're interested in another half back. If Petty was set on returning to SA and we got Houston and their first rounder, we could make the best of a bad situation.

    Would rather keep Petty though.

    We have, actually, in the context of this year's carnival. A bit underwhelming, it has seemed. I sometimes wonder if 'his footy' has been less about Kalani and more about Jeff...

    i think he's a 16 year old very tall, very skinny kid who has already played 'up' in a very strong allies side

    he's rated, clearly

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
