Justin Sherman wont be traded now, but Richard Hadley is now on the market.

He's played 41 games but can't get into Lions' midfield and is strong over ball and ability around stoppages.

    After 2 knee recos, NO!

    I rated Hadley very highly a couple of years ago. He hasn't been the same since he got injured.

    Definitely worth a look.

    I'm losing interest.

    Hadley's story is a really sad one. He was talked about as the next member of the fab 5 at the tail end of the Brisbane run of Premierships. We can learn a lot from Richmond's mistake with David Rodan. Midfielders can comeback successfully from knee recos and it seems like they need a full year to recover and then another year of playing to get back their touch and confidence and mobility. But, as has already been pointed out, he's had two, not one. Definitely worth a punt if the cost was low.

    No question of his talent, but our midfield stocks are already injury riddled. It's not a punt worth taking....

    Brissie had plenty of openings in their best 22. The fact he couldn't crack the side on a regular basis means that he is not going to cut it.

    Would rather take a chance on a late pick or rookie than Hadley.

    I rate him very highly. He was only behind Rivers and Davey in the Rising Star a few years back. Imagine having the top 3 Rising Stars from one year all in your team...

    I reckon he can make a recovery - it would be an awful shame if he couldn't.

    Like Mark Coughlan, love him as a player but the knee injuries aren't worth the risk.

    If he goes anywhere it'll be to Freo I would have thought, he's a WA boy.

    Saw Carlton were interested but I think they're up to their necks in getting the Mercenary.

    Would be a good fit for the Dockers... WA boy

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
