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.

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.

Oh my god, you are a tool YM.

You are so full of [censored], please leave the board.

All you do is bag the players, and the Demons are like SO awesome and we will win the next 50 flags cos we are perfect.

Go away you tool, mods please ban him!

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
