Nice to see some "astute" observations weed eater! Yeah probably because he had stress fractures in his foot might just explain why you didn't see him after the early rounds last year!
Oh and one other thing...
35 goals in 25 games er, can you define anyone else in the past 6 or so years who had a better average??
Now be careful because only a few can lay claim to those figures for Melbourne!
AND finally who would you rather in the forward line at present
Sellar?
Martin?
Magner?
Dunn?
what about Spencer?
Never ever was given an extended run is my point of view and for reasons other than ability times he would have been picked if not for injury remains and probably will now pass into "What if" Pity!
C'mon rollem out and please do, do your homework! before posting again.
YOU FREAK!!!
Few had a better average because few were kicking goals. But that doesn't mean we should bring back a dud who had more than enough opportunity. He cried wolf tooooooooooooooooooo many times.
Any of those you mentioned would do better than Juice.

Not that I can remember.
St Kilda made the Bulldogs pay with Pick 14 for Ayce Cordy.
I don't think there have been too many clubs that are willing to eff around with the very talented son of a great, as many want us to do.
Not sure about details, but I think the Dorks wanted Curren Jnr but didn't want to bid a F/S, thinking they would get him late in the draft. The Roos, however, picked him up earlier. Someone here may know more on this.
Also, it will be interesting to see where the Filth see Craig Stewart's son going in this coming draft. They may or may not go for F/S.
Can prove to be a bit of a gamble.

It's all guesswork and hot air.
Seems pretty certain we'll pick Viney wherever we have to. Hard to get something for nothing. Second round is not what he's worth, so I'd be happy to have a potentially great player who is just what we need and is super keen to join us.
I'd rather that than another kid who leaves at the first chance when a lot of $ is put in front of them.
To paraphrase Paul Keating, "Never stand between a greedy high draft pick and a big bag of money".

Pick 3 Toumpas, 4 Wines, 12 Vlastuin as a hbf or trade it to port for Boak and then Viney at pick 22! Always nice to have dreams though
Like it, but won't happen unfortunately. Viney 3, Toumpas or Wines 4 (or Boak).
Would like you to be correct, though.
-
Most of the Filth would cringe hearing this, esp Buckley and Pert.
What a complete ridiculous fool!
Your too late for the comedy festival, Eddie!

MFC Site has him at 81kgs not 86kgs.
No, 8.1kg.

Cook will now get a chance sooner than we had planned

I know Magner is mature aged and a hard body, but I think he may need another rest in a month or so. Its a long season for a first yearer
I wonder if any other players will get a further rest at some point, eg T McDonald.
-
Fumbleton? No thanks.
-
typical Sheedy, deflecting the attention away from their woeful performance perhaps?
What else has he got to hang his hat on?!
-
Saw McLardy's comments on the weekend and it immediately got me thinking...
''He is a very high-quality person and let's hope some time in the future we see him back within our club in some capacity.''
Thoughts?

Tim Watson made that point on the TV coverage - he times his leap so well, that he takes the ball right at its peak. Impossible to deal with given his height.
On another note, I worry that what makes him such a fantastic player is what eventually will be his downfall. Because he smashes packs and breaks heads a bit, I kind of get the feeling he might be the type who is done by the time he is 27 or 28, just because he is so physical and gets knocked around so much. I really hope that's not the case, because he has totally bought in, and he is in for the long haul with us.
He smashes packs, alright. One of Jonathan Brown's major facial injuries the other year was from Mitch's elbow. If anyone can find the vision, it looks horrific.

Patton for sure.

Hate to say it, but Bate did well today.

Moloney for Casey next week???

Blease on. Clark must be subbed.
-
Tom McDonald's kicking is a liability. Guy competes his butt off, but he butchers simple kicks far too frequently
Yeah, at this stage. But he's only 19 or so, and this will get better. Loving his push 'n shove attitude aggresive with Patton.

I believe in Sam...
No, but seriously, my best mate become a cop and I am not going to be a cop...
Let's have a little faith we can keep our young players.
I'd rather be a cop than be best mates with $cully.

What are they thinking? Get Miller into the ruck, now!

Jack is exactly what we need over the next few years (and beyond) - hard at the contest, strong bodied, great endurance, good developing skills and leadership potential.
Why the hell would we risk that on some sort of bluff calling game? Let's get real.
We WILL take him with our first pick if another club below us bids. Plain and simple.
GET "JUICE" BACK
in Melbourne Demons

Clearly, you have won all arguments with the oft repeated single stat of 35 goals in 25 games (over 18 years...)
Fact: he was given a lot of chances and was on our list for many years.
Fact: if he's so good, why wasn't he picked up by another club, partic the new franchises which are crying out for experience?
Fact: 35 goals in 25 games is not as good a return % as Clark, Jurrah, Howe. And they've been around the club for less than 7 yrs.
Fact: Juice was not the quickest or smartest of players and the game is not getting any slower.
But I guess that any form of reason wouldn't convince you...
