Can someone please give an update on where are other young players are at and whether they will be pushing for afl selection next year:

Cheeney

Mcnamara

Spencer

Meeson

Zomer

 

Cheney - Tough defender. Played a handful of games with Sandy seniors. COULD develop into a handy back pocket.

McNamara - Running half back. Sometimes suspect defence. Would rather see him play as a tall & athletic wingman. Similar to Ward in my opinion.

Spencer - Developing ruck. Played seniors and reserves. A few good games some bad. Could find some footy at AFL level next year but wont be ready for sometime.

Meesen - Really struggled to impact games. Had one outstanding game late in the year which almost earn him Senior selection. Needs a big pre-season and vast improvement next year.

Zomer - Developing KPF. Played some good games in the Reserves, showing his ability to kick goals. Other games his work ethic was down and he didnt look interested. He will either be great or a flop.

Zomer (in addition to what Chop just said) will also take time to adjust to playing against defenders as big as him (if he makes the adjustment at all)

 

Cheney needs Wheels to be his personal tutor and teach him a few tricks like how to make space in a congested situation and give off effectively and where to run to.

He's got raw talent but he needs to study Wheels' highlights tape (including Heard) to learn his craft.

I've only seen him on a couple of occasions; time is on his side.

we dont need to turn him into a defender! ffs we are crying out for forwards and he was killing it early on the year when he was playing forward kicking bags of goals. we already have rivers, frawley,warnock, martin and garland as our defenders


He kicked all his goals in games where the 2s won by about 100 points, more than likely against a full back that would make Morton look big

  • 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.
