Spoke to an Aints mate of mine, who is an astute footy person, he believes he would be an excellent acquisition for us and not just for depth, but to play 22 games plus finals. I like endoresements like these!!

Yes saw Membrey v Eagles (kicked 5) and Blues (kicked 2) and he’s a very good mark and accurate kick.  He’s 31 at start of next season so it’s almost an “like for like” age profile swap with Tomlinson.  Might be worth the punt to give us the added scoring power.

They’re far less unsavoury than Collingwood friends. That’s why! I’ve one also but we’re both Viccos in northern rivers so we Viccy kickies stick together! Plus we’re mad golfers

Can we still get Membrey?  Would be a nice little deal something like a swap for Tomlinson if that could be done, although I don't mind holding on to Tommo either.

 

I really wanted to go for him 3 or so years ago

You are a curious cat Picket with your love of Jefferson yet no faith in our forward line talls… 

Membrey adds little and would only stymie the development of the talls we have. Hardly us “sitting on our hands”.

What exactly is your plan with him?  

The Pies are going all in for a tilt at the Flag. At the end of next season when that fails they’ll be left a rotting carcass of a list. It feels like MaCrae and Leppitsch hold way too much power over the list.

Well??? The bloke is past it and even St Kilda don’t want him, which tells you where he is at

I’d rather be putting time into JVR, Petty, Disco and Jefferson than Membrey.  Spare me!

Spot on! Macrae knows he's got an aging list and they're doing what they can to squeeze out any success while they have Sidebottom, Pendlebury, De Goey, Howe, Elliot, Mitchell, playing alongside Nick Daicos. I don't think any of them are going to get better, only decline. Once they retire they won't have the quality needed to seriously compete. Daicos (spews in mouth) is a generational player that won't be as effective once those players retire.  

Membrey is low-risk option for them to offer depth in an area they have very little while they believe they're a chance for another flag.

The bloke is not a key forward, doesn't even crack 190cms. We have good depth for medium forwards. He is not the answer.

Well he is an Upgrade on Petty!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
