    Two Harrys, then?

    And 'harry': 'Persistently carry out attacks (on an enemy or an enemy's territory)'

    That'll do me.

    That's what I thought. Why the heck would he have got a 3 year contract?

    It might’ve been a 2 year deal with a trigger that he reached in year 1, but yep, welcome to Melbourne list management. Everyone gets at least a year they don’t deserve

    We all thought it was 2 years, but the list management pinned thread (which is fantastic) has a bit of chatter that it was three years due to a trigger of some sort.

    Either way, he is off the list which is a great result.

    His VFL highlights has some really nice kicks on both sides but it’s not a strength from what I’ve seen of him at afl level. Not a lot of power in his game, great endurance but not the fastest.

    He’d be wing/high half forward depth and good players who excel defensively in those roles aren’t easy to find. I suggested Ned McHenry because that’s how hard it is to find super hard runners with any talent at all.

    Nibbler wasn’t Nibbler for a very long time in his career either remember. 

    Contracted, you’d want Brisbane to do the right thing and let him go for a bag of chips.

    I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

    Hunter signed a 5 year contract prior to the 2019 season with the Dogs to take him through to the end of 2023.

    Therefore we either extended his contract by 2 further years when he came across to us at the end of 2022 or his solid 2023 season set off a trigger.

    As for Sharp, his PB at AFL level is an 18 possession 1 goal game against the Suns earlier this year and he also had a 19 possession 3 goal game in one of the VFL finals just gone.

    Because both Sharp and Derksen are contracted we may have to pay overs for them maybe 37 for Sharp and 45 for Derksen.

    Windsor will never play half back. 
    Will go straight into the centre to direct our connectivity to our forward line. 
    Sharp Bowey could play wing even Pup Brown possibly though I think  he could end up as an on baller or half forward.

    Don't mind this.

    One of the fittest players going around in the competition and one thing he does bring is quick ball movement and speed.

    He's actually a bit like Ed Langdon in that he'll hit a target 30m up the field and then follow up again with a hand pass and reset again.

    He's contracted though, I hope Brisbane aren't similar to Dersken.

    I also like this because he's still only 21 so there's lot of growth and improvement left unlike the past recruits who've had of recent.

    Still plenty and growth and development left, and knows, could have a Toby Bedford breakout season hopefully.

    Do you think he'd be a decent replacement for ANB? We're going to miss his gutrunning and goal-sense.

    Yes I do. He's a genuine gut runner.

    This to me is a smart potential trade. On the cusp of their best 22 but held out through their depth of midfield. Vic boy. Strong runner. Wont cost the earth and at 21 potential upside in development and potentially fills holes in list left by ANB and Hunter.

    And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
