    Potentially why we have the late pick available to match a bid. If it comes too early then so be it.

    Let's just hope it's not a popular rag with the common folk.

    Especially so at Carringbush, out Moonee Ponds way or beyond the Port Jackson hinterlands.

    Just noticed that Sam Marshall is Brisbane academy despite playing for Sandy Dragons. That seems a bit on the nose for me and contradicts the reasons for the academy.

    It looks to me a policy of Brisbane's, to send their good NGA members down to Vic for their football schooling.

    Pub test failed!

    What’s the feeling on whether Andrew will be selected by another club, so we have to match and use our last list spot/pick, or whether he gets through and we can rookie him?

    to be honest i'm half expecting him to slide through 

    talls simply don't seem to have the premium placed upon them that they did as recently as three, four years ago

    Not a surprise, club never were really linked with him. A fraction undersized and doesn’t kick well. That said, cost was basically the last pick in the draft. But we don’t seem to be a club that turns over the list these days.

    The club we gave Grundy to. 

    Hope they have a good FA we can take from them next year.

    They seemed shocked we didn’t match, didn’t see a single smile from their group.

    Maybe we just rate players better then him?

    No biggie.

    We weren’t even able to make a mistake with Mac. But given half the chance we would have found a way

  • Quote

    ah well, if we really wanted him, we would have made it happen.

     

    would have been nice to slide through as a rookie

    We don’t have the list spots, our third pick is all we have and clearly they wanted other players.

    Its not like we don’t have young kids developing but we do seem to hang on to guys as well as paying the price for top ups that so far haven’t worked.

    Im not even sure if we wanted Riak as cat B which does seem wild because he has more upside than Mentha IMO.

    said so in the johnson thread, but im truly gutted by this, its non-commital by the club and is going against the youthful processes we've been on for some time now. theres just so many ways this ends badly for us, watching mac flourish, ourselves getting destroyed by aliir playing against the swans in the past. i think his athletic potential once in the pro systems, he's gonna make us look so silly

    Disappointed....but I have faith in Jason Taylor's decision.

    I think there's another two younger Andrew brothers anyway?

     Paul Amy on X is reporting that Deng Andrew, brother of Mac and Riak, is fighting for a place on the Northern Bullants list. A long way from Casey.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?
