Maybe Aussie is getting a rest from footy for a week, just for a freshen up. Maric in for him.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised.

PJ, Martin, Valenti, Wonaeamirri/Maric please.

Posted

How is Martin still not getting a position in the starting 18? Not that it matters as he'll play anyway.

Would love to see Maric debut, simply because it's an extra incentive to turn up despite a guaranteed loss, however can't justify dropping anyone from the bench to make room for him.

I'd drop Aussie for Maric.

Aussie is the only first year player to avoid getting a few weeks break this year, and from a distance he seems to be getting a bit tired in my opinion.

Give Maric a go in a home game in what is essentially a low pressure match, but one that would still give him a taste of AFL footy

That's what I was thinking. It's all about just getting one or two games into the kids to show them what needs to be done. The Roos are a hard side, Maric will learn a lot from getting 80 minutes in the forward fifty. If he blows them away, play him the following week, if he doesn't, drop him and let Wonna run riot after a bit of a rest again.

I think I deserve credit here.

I picked Carroll & White as inclusions, and to Maric.

Not really, he is on the bench.

He won't play.

Or alternatively play them both an dwhat the Kangas defence squirm against 3 extremely skillful small forwards in Wonna, Maric and Sylvs. Plus having to deal with Miller. I like our forward line.

ahh that's right...we have ON field things to do hehe :rolleyes: :D

Love to see Maric get a few minutes out there.

Well unles fate changes Ill be catering to a hospital returnee on Sunday..so will rely on all your eyes !!

Should be an interesting game..often the Roos_Dees ones are..Normally try to make a point of getting to these :(

A few Dees playing for future here.

make a change from all the off field hullabaloo at least :)

go Dees

And how would you know?

In fact, you wouldnt know [censored] from clay mate.

Ahh yes there is football.............

I/C: Aussie,Valenti, Martin, Johnson

If Junior does not come up, give it to Maric.

I would dearly like to see Maric get his first MFC game too.

Posted
I'd forgotten about the actual football...

Will the club survive long enough for the game even to be held?

Will anyone show up?

Answer: Yes

Well North and Melbourne are just about the 2 worst sides as far as crowds go so I'd say less than 30,000

What do you want, a medal?

Carroll and White should be put out to grass. Even if their form warrants it, with 6 games left in the year their inclusion is of little to no value to the side. I'd rather see an 18 year-old Addam Maric get 1 handball and 5 frees against and learn a hard footy lesson than have somebody who is in no way part of our future return to the side. Get the kids on, and give them game time.

That's what I thought too, Wonna was a little quiet last week..

IN: McDonald, Maric (debut)

OUT: Wheatley (Calf), Wonaeamirri

He won't play. Garland, Warnock and Martin all deserve their spot.

Why would you bring in Carroll? No need and Bailey won't do it.

Good idea lets drop the nucleus for the next 10 years for chopper.

Or better yet, squeeze him in by dropping someone like Wona, Morton or CJ. Who cares if building those young guys to understand each other so we are prepared for the next 10 years.

I don't know whether you understood and agreed with me, and your sarcasm drowned out the sentiment, or if you have totally misread my post. When I say 'put out to grass', I don't mean put them on the field, I mean put them out to pasture. White has been a tremendous servant for the club, but his playing days are finished in any meaningful sense. Carroll is just finished.

but wona taken out more so to freshen him up for the last few rounds. i think he'll miss two games, maric will get 2. wona back for the round 19 clash, fresh and ready to go.

That's funny.

Hope Maric gets a game or two. Don't know who to leave out, maybe a slight injury concern in the starting 18.

I dont want a medal.

I just think it was ironic that so many disagreed with me and yet both Carroll and White were included in our extended squad.

they were in the squad last week and didnt play.

the squad means jack really. the chance of them getting a game is very very low. especially if they are not named on the field ala mcdonald...

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
