    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

  • Quote

    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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
