CAC to leave the Demons

Whether they are successful or not in poaching CAC this is the perfect chance for the club to develop and invest in our recruiting department.

Currently one of the most underfunded in the league we need to move forward.

IMO we should do our best to keep CAC, and by increasing his budget for recruiting might be a way of doing that.

    a 3 year contract with the Demons, means CAC has some contractual obligations to the Club.

    I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

    I believe CAC is keen to see the club move into it's new home, as well as watch some of the younger players develop. I think CAC will see the new era at the club as one worth hanging around in.

    Yes, was thinking the same...littlel matter of a contract...lol. Seems the Toiges are continuing in their bumbling ways !!..

    This same thing came up about five years ago. People think Craig is a Richmond man - dad played there, baracked for them as a kid etc - therefore he's always mentioned when there is change at Tigerland (ie very frequently).

    Same logic for Kevin Sheedy.

    Don't think he's going anywhere.

    Possibly the most important position in the FD apart from, and maybe includiong , the senior coach.

    He was contracted for 3 years last year, knowing the senior Coach got an extra year. He's not stupid and undertsands what responsibility is IMO, and probably didn't sign up lightly.

    Typical Tiges - idiots with no understanding how a real business should run. Contracts aren't meant to be broken.

    If he wants to go then let him.

    CAC is in charge of list management, but isn't one of our major problems an overrated list? Sure his drafting has been ok, but nothing special when compared to other teams, also our poor history of drafting KPP's must also be taken into consideration.

    It would be interesting to see what his reputation would be like here if he never posted on this forum.

    I think he has done a good job. He has improved as the years have rolled by. This year we are likely to have a few good picks so they must be used wisely. Better no change ATM.

    Also we have a number of developing KPP's - Dunn, Newton, Frawley and Garland - all with potential. Miller is at Sandy ATM and Rivers injured.

    We need a quick gun mid which we should get if we finish low enough to receive a good pick.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
