We can offer to take Parish and/or Daniher as well if it would assist them. -
Email him.

It is taking a while for this to sink in with some people. Not negotiable!
-
Last year's round two pick for Melksham was hardly a WIN-WIN, when we were unable to play him. Next year's round two for Hibberd is more than fair (no steak knives)!
-
His endurance can be addressed in a pre-season but rightly he deserves to stay in our system. It would be a travesty if he ended up elsewhere and we got no compensation!

Frankly, after giving up our second round pick last year for Melksham, I am really disinclined to repeat the exercise this year, particularly when we don't have a first round pick. I would love Hinberd to threaten to walk for breach of contract and offer them the option of fighting it or taking our fourth round pick.
-
Just hope that his good SA mate, ANB, shows the same development and also becomes an integral part going forward!
-
And Dunn and Pedersen ! Then they would have the basis of a backline and a Forwardline!
-
Personally, l feel a number of those referred to above have done a sterling job at VFL level (however victims of our list improvement overall). Casey winning a Premiership this year can only be good for the Melbourne Demons (as per Box Hill Hawks) and the guys moving through our list. I would love to see Terlich, Michie, Newton, etc given decent contracts by Casey and the Scorpions becoming a "Powerhouse" in the VFL, playing the Demons game plan. Keep the boys together! ANB I would keep as I don't think that we have seen the best he has to offer yet!
-
Two wins in a row.
-
I winced watching those passages of play, especially the Kent sideways kick away from the goals.
-
At least he may well play in a Casey Premiership!
-
We should engage a good cosmetic surgeon to make Melksham resemble Terlich then play him in our backline. The AFL doesn't have player fingerprints or DNA so it might just work. Terls can have a holiday.
-
It would have been massive if he had kicked nine (instead of one behind and one out on the full from set shots)!
-
-
At least we beat the Pies playing "away" at the "G"! The AFL should be thanked for giving us a home ground advantage against the in-form Saints (an opponent to be feared/respected in comparison to the rabble of the last two weeks)! p.s. This time next week I am looking forward to beating our three-match hoodoo and achieving a record membership for our efforts.
-
We will be the following week after we beat the Saints (also giving us three in a row)!
-
The articles are based on the premise that Pavlich is keeping the seat (& his salary) warm until the end of 2017 however also points out that why would Hogan go home to a rebuilding Club. I would just dismiss it out of hand, particularly as by then he will have had two enjoyable seasons playing alongside Petracca!

Rather than focus on Lloyd or on Brereton's criticism of Hogan perhaps we should focus on Carey's sage advice (pasted below): ______________________________________________________________ AFL great Wayne Carey has defended Jesse Hogan after the Melbourne key forward's lacklustre start to the season attracted some fierce criticism. Hogan has divided opinion sharply among some of the best key forwards in AFL history after only kicking one goal in Saturday's upset loss to Essendon. Last year's Rising Star winner also was having a quiet day in round one, before he helped spark the comeback win over GWS with three last-quarter goals. Former Essendon full forward Matthew Lloyd savaged Hogan on Monday, calling the 19-year-old's body language in the opening two matches horrific. Another former key forward great, Hawthorn star Dermott Brereton, accused Hogan of being non-competitive when the ball went to ground in the Bombers game. But Carey, the two-time North Melbourne premiership captain and an all-time great centre half-forward, said Hogan should be cut some slack. "You have to remember, this kid's 19 - he's played 22 games," Carey said on Seven's Talking Footy. "And with the body language ... I think Jesse Hogan gets really disappointed with himself more so than he does (with) teammates. "If he's not playing well - and he hasn't had a great start to the season - I just see that he gets really down. "Now, can he improve that? Absolutely." Carey noted that Hogan has put off contract talks with Melbourne until the end of the season, amid growing speculation about whether he might stay at the Demons long-term. "Let's not forget, he's just a kid and the expectations and the talk around contracts and all sorts of stuff - how's this kid meant to handle all that at just 19?," Carey said. "I think he'd like to be told how he's going - what he's doing right, what he's doing wrong. "He's a very proud young player who's set a pretty high standard already. "I think it's more about him rather than his teammates doing something wrong." Melbourne onballer Bernie Vince added that players up the ground were not doing Hogan many favours with how the ball had been delivered to him so far this season. "I'd be pretty frustrated, too ... we just need to get it in better, it's probably our fault," Vince said.

The irony is that, in contrast to the Wines vs. Toumpas debate which raged on this site for years, both Oliver and Parish seem to be the goods judging from yester day's respective debuts!
-
Great viewing. Better than Foxtel.
-
Watts - pick 1 Trengove - pick 2 Hogan (Scully#1 compensation?) also Kennedy was pick 10 for the Pies (before we swapped for Howe/Toumpas#3) p.s. And Tyson was originally pick 2 when GWS drafted him
-
I have seen Petracca on the park at training and I doubt that you will be disappointed when he plays his first match.
