peptides wanted to secure someone after missing out on multiple free agents - they frontloaded his contract enormously for the first 2 years of his 5 year deal

That too, but I thought I read somewhere that Norf had a hand in the degree and amount of the front ending, cause they wanted picks 2 & 3 in the Harley Reid draft?

Could be wrong.

    Have you not watched his career? He is the definition of a charity contract.

    He is like James Frawley, bit with absolutely no talent or pace.

    he is nothing like chip, who was all oztrayan in a middling side and then a premiership player in a very good one

    i'm mildly annoyed that he cracked 100 games for dingley, thus making any boys eligible for them under (current) father-son rules

    I was sort of agreeing with you.

    The entire media was after his head after an insipid first 4 weeks, and yet somehow played a good game against us in round 5. Amazing right..

    We are very good at bombing it down average defenders throats. We've made Comben, McKay and Ratagolea all look like All Aus defenders this year....

    The Kent Kingsley principle lives on.

    Meanwhile, should we be upgrading this thread from a Harry McKay to a more general 'picking over the Blue carcass' thread?

    Unfortunately we don't have much immediate draft value to offer them, and their potential free agency have all been signed up or are being offered a Mexican silver mine by someone else already, but surely some of their mass-injured demoralised players aren't keen to sit through a re-rebuild at a club with such a perennially impatient and entitled coterie-level culture.

    Kemp is out of contract but not a free agent. Had so many injuries and been played almost at random positions to the point where it is impossible to really know if he can make it at AFL level. Personally I see potential.

    Walsh is an RFA out of contract in 2026, in variable form (the drop from his early career is alarming) and currently injured.

    Hmm, actually, gee, there's not much I'd be trying to extract from Carlton.

    I do feel fragments of sympathy for the general Blues fans, but the silvertails, the board and its connections (which in the case of the Carlton board is almost like racehorse 'connections') and the actual club executive deserve every bag of ---- coming their way.

    Yes we need a key forward but not McKay.

    Was our interest in Logan Morris this year or last?

    Fears of missing out on landing a big fish don’t justify grabbing anyone. An earlier post has already pointed out that Chol and Membrey are more than serviceable role players at their respective clubs. They would be playing for half of what McKay is on.

    I’d like to see Petty moved back into defence as he’s a quality defender, I’d like to see Disco, JVR and Jefferson played up fwd for the remainder of this season. We won’t be playing finals this year so what have we got to lose.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
