Thankyou CAC and recruiting team

Featured Replies

Posted

Just like to personally thank CAC and his team and all the individuals in other states who put in the hard work to get the job done over the past year and on draft day. The pressure and demand of the job requires a lot of hard yards, sleepless nights and tough decision when you look at the resources that the other power clubs have here in Victoria and in other states.

I am stoked at the players that Craig and his team have delivered and to you and you team Craig I whole-heartedly thankyou for your committed efforts at ensuring the success of this great football club.

 

good job CAC...i can officially say that what ever happens to any of these players is now into the hands of the developmental staff and coaching staff and that you will not be blamed if one or two of these players are not success stories because you followed the best player available principle succesfully

Sorry for seeming to pick on you, but that's rubbish.

We'll know if it's a good selection in 1-4 years, and you can't "officially" say anything. CAC hopes and thinks they were the best available, and they may be, but if they're not he's accountable.

Stop the child like worshipping and obsequious comments.

 

Unless this thread is congratulating the 2004 or 2005 draft, we got some problems...

Morton, Grimes, and Maric are just names and potential at the moment. I'm guessing the effusive praise is coming from the outside opinions of our picks. You cannot determine the performance of CAC based on the opinion of the greater football community (Connors, WB recruiting bloke, Andrew Maher etc).

BTW I will always defend CAC but seriously...

no no I'm always open for criticism lol...what i was trying to say, and yes i am getting a little excited, is that i think that at THIS stage in time, melbourne has done very well and from what i know (which cant be expert compared to ppl in the AFL) i thought that he picked the best players available (looking at the matches i have seen and the footage i have watched) and i think however with the potential that some of these players have, it is now in the hands of the developmental staff and i am looking forward to see what they can achieve...i would also like to say that if one or two of these players are not succesful AFL players, it doesnt always mean bad picks, but the club may not have done them well...that is what i was trying to say if i am not making sense, tell me


You're not making sense, but hey it's all looking a bit moot anyway...

lol..sorry to make a bad post even worse but i am trying to say that i think it up to the coaching staff to turn players into good AFL players, and if say mcnamara and jack grimes for instance, turn out to be absolute poo, i will not just blame CAC, but i will blame the coaching staff aswell...because i think CAC drafted well this year

anyway, hes about to leave us

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
