The question that needs to be asked, is not what has Byron done, but what can he do?

For some, the answer is not a lot.

However, I still hold some faint hope that Byron can turn things back around.

For me the ledger is still in the red in regards Byron. Much faith 9 let alone money ) has been invested. i want to sereal returns, not 'passages ' of play...good that they were, a handful of 'top' efforts does not a season make.

I would like to see him return next year, but, under very strict conditions. We must be prepared to be tough with him and demand that he does not balloon up again over the off-season and be prepared to submit to regular tests to ensure that this is not happening. We must also be prepared to be ruthless and be prepared to release him for not meeting fitness targets even if this means playing one short.

A question, can you promote a rookie to replace a player who has been released after the final lists are announced?

Pickett should only stay if he accepts that he has to get fit, and stay fit.

He should be told that he has to turn up at day 1 of pre season training at a certain weight and be able to do a 3 km time trial in a certain time.

If he is overweight and/or doesn't meet the time trial target he is out the door.

Then he should be given similar weight/time trial times he must meet for the year. Again, the first time he can't meet the criteria he is out the door.

Yes agree with that and 1 yr contract with low base and decent match payments.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
