We could seek out Kane Farrel from Port, doesn't get as much attention as Bergman and is likely to miss out of a payday there.

Slots in well to replace McVee as a flanker with good skills. We need to target players in 24-28 age bracket and he's hitting his prime at 26.

From memory, haven't we had interest in him previously? Potentially misspeaking but I seem to recall us being linked to him loosely over the past few years.

Well there goes that idea


I heard that May is leading the reverse Coleman in goals conceded to key forwards.

McVee must be leading the reverse Coleman in goals conceded to small forwards. Moir another small who just gone to town on us (apologies to McVee if someone else had the job on him but I'm not enduring that game again to verify)

Was he on Harvey the week before too?

McVee would've started on their premier small forward in Curtis.

Who knows if he spent time on Harvey throughout?

Harris Andrews and Callum Wilkie are also in the top 5. Meaningless stat, just means they are taking the best forwards every week.

Who's been playing on Kossie the last month,you do know that Bowie,Rivers and Salem all get goals kicked on them and they aren't the best small forwards


With 5 weeks to go in the season, it is concerning, that a player is still not signing, after having an Offer from the club since last year and obviously several negotiations since.

Hopefully we get some good news soon.

Lever definitely spent a fair bit of time on Harvey. I think McVee was mostly on Curtis.

I was at that game and everytime I would look down back it was Rivers who was on Curtis.

We've got a significant hole ever since Michael Hibberd left the club.

We dont have that big medium defender that can take on the likes of Zurhaar, Dangerfield when up forward.

McVee has been poor this year unfortunately. How we let Ashton Mior kick 4 goals on the weekend is just appalling.

Howes form is lifting and may develop into the Hibberd type role. Surprised he wasn't selected against Carlton after being BOG at Casey the week before.

Yep,McVees fault

Do we know for a fact he was on Moir?

I mean, whoever it was, it shouldn't have happened. Between our medium defenders in Rivers and McVee someone gave him far too much latitude.

We have a history of making ordinary forwards look like Wayne Carey once a year.

All my instincts tell me he is gone.

However the inside line according to some of our own say its all bullocks and he is signed up. I tend to take some comfort in that view given a proven track record.

With Rivers now playing in the backline with Bowie and Salem,McVee doesn't get the same opportunities,im thinking there's other teams that want a ball carrier, just saying and by the way the team is going with Goody's non magnetic changes,why would you want to stay.Club is going nowhere atm.its a wait and see moment.

Surprised me as well. And the perfect protype defender suited well on Moir.

AMW could be our next Hibbo. He has similar traits with speed, aggression and his willingness to defend.

No. I don't think so. If McVee did play on him it was only at times. I'd say Turner was on him more often than others.

I really really dislike Carlton's list but I really like Moir.

That's not to excuse at all. We shouldn't be letting talented six-gamers kick four goals at any time, let alone when we're playing half a VFL team.

On this occasion ignore your instincts, GS. Judd isn’t going anywhere. Have faith 😁

Not only is AMW smaller then Hibberd but he is more suited to the dangerous smalls such as Charlie Cameron, Rankine, Nick Watson, Willie Rioli types. He'd match them for speed and aggression.

Hibberd had a good blend of being able to play on the smalls but could also sit on Dusty Martin, Patrick Dangerfield or a Toby Greene because he had strength and frame to able to match it with those bigger bodied type meduim forwards.

I see AMW as a Mathew Whelan type lock down defender who would play on the likes of Stephen Milne and Jeff Farmer types.

Twice this year we've had Cam Zurhaar get hold of us simply because we had no decent match up on him. Kind of player that Hibberd would have easily locked down on.

The cherry on top for Hibbo was that booming left foot kick that could easily hit a target 60m away

  • 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.
