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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
