Does this bloke ever get it wrong?

Dunn, Bate, Jones, McLean, Sylvia, Davey, Petterd, Bartram, Frawley, Buckley, Newton .....

CAC, we love you.

Please do not leave. You are BY FAR the most important man at the club, and you should ask for a pay rise, and get it.

    agreed one of the most mprtant guys on our list. yes he has had some bad picks over the years but the who hasn't

  • Quote

    I still hold the view that his one really bad draft was the one year when the coach took control of the selections. You know what I mean Luke Molan.

    Aaron Rogers.

    But overall, CAC has done an excellent job.

    Early call on Simon Buckley Yze_Magic. Anyway, where have you been lately?

    I mentioned way back in some other thread that CAC was probably the particular one of the curent crop of the MFC football dept that i would want to keep above the others. But no one is totally irresplacable. If he goes he goes, would prefre he stays as he's been quite the deliverer ( when no meddling ) . Am very intereted to see who he homes in on in both trade week and the draft. Given the new boorm coming through he ought to have a bit of a shopping list :-))))

    We are 15th on the ladder he can't be that good. Molon, Smith, Rogers were ordinary. Choosing Gianfagna ahead of Alwyn Davey was very ordinary as well. We should wait until we start winning games before we pat him on the back.

    Yep CAC has potentialy built a ripping list.

    Now time to take potential to reality.

    PS : I was @ Balwyn Tigers V Vermont on Saturday & saw a young bloke playing for Vermont named Nathan Henly tear the game apart. Loaded with class & would be a great high draft pick smokey.

    He's a strongly built goal kicking wingman.

    I know there is a huge gap between AFL & EFL but this kid just stood out like a beacon.

    Brett Ratten was in the crowd & rumour was he was checking him out for The Blues to draft.

    CAC take note & jump The Blues this kid just looks the right fit for AFL...

    I agree he has made some great selections and we have some very exciting players that should play 200 plus games..

    However he has never picked up a KPP that has been a regular first 22 player( Newton could turn out to fit that bill)....

    aswell you have to look at the other clubs, we have picked up good players but so have the other teams and not just the teams who had earlier picks.

    I think He is very god at his job but if he goes its not the end of the world and i think some of you guys have met him so like to think he is the absolute best.. can anyone honestly say our recruitment has been the best in the AFL over the last few years.

    hope this isnt taken the wrong way im not bagging him at all, i just cant agree we re stuffed if he leaves.

    Correct Herb! He is no more or less important than anyone else at the club. His best draft by far was 8 years ago in 1999, when despite salary cap breach penalties he has manged to get over 500 games from Bruce, Green, Whelan and Wheatley. He's also had a few misses (98, 01 being 2 that spring to mind). Even in 2000, he got Scott Thompson and not much else, and then Thommo left anyway - the other part of his role is list management (Remember his title is recruiting and list management!)

    His recent acquisitions look promising but it is too early too make the call on the likes of Buckley, Newton etc. I like the job CAC has done in general, but he is not indispensable. I quite like the work Ricky Barham has done at Sydney - he has assembled a first rate list with very little in the way of early draft choices since about 1995.

    Rivers? Carroll?

    Rivers at pick 20 odd was an absolute gem and more than cancels out Rogers.

    Send him an email, I've done it before, he's more than happy to receive them if you really think the kid has talent.

    Totally agree Herb. Sure, he has pulled some absolute rippers, but so have pretty much every other team and their respective recruiting managers. Look at Goodes and O'Keefe for Sydney, Kerr for the Weagles, etc... CAC is very good, but so too are many other recruiter's. Somehow i think i can see our list improving, even when CAC leaves (whenever that may be).

    Of course we can and it's laughable to think otherwise.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
