This bloke was gettable last trade period and I was pushing him hard on DL, with not a lot of support from other posters. 

Given our current position with key forwards and his form, he would have been invaluable.

GWS was looking to make salary cap room and he would not have cost a lot in salary or trade.

I said at the time he was big, mobile and could play both ends of the ground.

He would have been a good get for us and might have helped us win another game or two to this point of the season, which would have kept our finals chances alive. 

Big pity.

    My mate on Sunday suggested that he is not necessarily the nicest bloke running around - no further details, but not sure what that means in terms of culture?

    Perhaps some truth into that.

    It seemed it odd that GWS were happy to let him go considering he had a good season last year.

    Having a much better year this year.

    We cleared one to the Dockers. Who do you suggest we can get?  Another May deal?

    Dusty suppressed his team to a flag, winning a Brownlow along the way.

    Wish we had a suppressor.

    We haven't got a good second or third tall forward, so not a bad idea at low cost and trade price to have got one.

    BTW Finlayson has good form at both ends of the ground and unlike most of our players, can take a mark, kick a goal and even pass the footy accurately.

    Finlayson is not in the same league as Dusty.

    And Dusty changed a lot before they won a flag. 

    Remember, he had no serious takers, including us, when his contract was up before then. There was a reason for that at the time which was more than his price

    And good is not always  'good'...   sometimes Bad...  is Great.

    Who here would not draft a young Dermie,  or Lockett,  if they appeared before us this year ?

    Who would we chase for a running player ?    Coniglio or Whitfield..  

    I reckon I would go Coniglio 1st...  as we need leadership,  and he has leadership already in his repertoire.

    But he might offend the kings of the North.?  Red.  He might give someone 'the bird'... or worse, that two fingered job.

    Or was He,  & We...  doing the AFL a favour (bidding),  that they required of us ?  relieving the woods of him ? 

    He was a runner of some ability.  but too many distractions.

    Someone like Hogan maybe???

    Hogan was a key forward, contested marking beast in his first 2 years. Just what we needed. Soon became a running high half forward who would kick a couple of goals per game. Could hardly take a contested mark in the end. Loves to party, wanted home to his 'mates' in WA, pictures tell a thousand words. 

    We need a stable key forward, whether that be Tmac, Weid or someone like Cameron.

    Interesting that Hogan has kicked only 8 goals so far this year with a few Joe the Goose ones included and also didn’t have a single kick against the Lions. Clearly not setting the world on fire.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
