    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.

    Well, I don’t know how to riak to this

    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.

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

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

    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

     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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
