That's not the role I see him playing.

One, very much unlike nibbla, he doesn't appear to have the natural, elite athleticism the role demands.

Two, thst role doesn't suit his skill set - inside ball winner, elite kick (at least I hope he is - was as a junior), knows where the goals are and a real x factor.

I see him as a mini tracc.

A 60 forward 40 inside mid with kpis that include goals, goal assists, score involvements, contested possessions - and energy and buzz.

What about a Melksham type? Half forward, good overhead, good goal sense, link between mids/fwds?

    Did they train the day this photo was taken? It was right after the draft last year.

    I think they did train that day.

    Two nervous kids and a loud mouth.

    I caught the last part of this session. Clarrie looked really happy.

    BTW my favourite AC/DC song is Whole Lotta Rosie. Can't stand the new bloke's voice. (Yeah, I know ... 44 years.)

    • 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.
