PJ played a shocker, the best thing he did all game was see the ball over the boundary line.

I think he will play next week, due to the fact that Bailey might not risk playing two young and inexperienced ruckmen.

Are you nuts? Bruce was our best player after Davey... and the fact that he didn't give up in that final quarter was the reason we put a bit of respectability on the board. Your spot on with the other three though, but I would add Dunn to that group. Hopeless!

PJ will stay in. Meeson played alright, anyone think he did ok? cause I reckon he did the job well. Out Sylvia in Robertson or Jurrah. If Robertson not fit enough then Wonaeamirri. If both robbo and wonna are not fit enough then Jurrah and Maric.

And forgot to say out Jetta.

I hope Jetta plays next week. He has the potential but needs to find ways of getting the ball and contesting. I thought he played well in the first quarter but then he completely dropped off.

Perfect, except Junior will play if he's fit.

Aussie is not fit to play, and when he is it's likely he'll come back through the VFL to test out the hammy.

Robbo needs at least another full game after missing 10 months of footy.

None of Bruce, McLean or Miller will get dropped. I do wonder sometimes whether people just express their insane desires in these topics, or whether they ever happen to take reality into account :rolleyes:

They were pretty critical of Sylvia on SEN but he was named in the best on the club website.

In: Maric

Out: Jetta

McDonald, Robertson and Whelan are obvious selections if fit.

It's sad that you say that, because it seems to be the way coaches think also. Afraid to drop the big names. For the sake of the development of this team, DB has to start dropping players that don't perform. Aparently Miller was working very hard off the ball all day, Bruce didn't stop trying, even in the last quarter, but as far as Mclean goes, He's certainly not good enough at this point to be playing AFL football. DB needs to grow some balls and make some tough decisions. All in all i wasn't too upset with the result against port. There were many positives to take from the game.

I do agree with you though regarding not jumping the gun... im certainly not wanting Bailey to yeild the ax, but just show and prove to the melbourne players that if you as a player don't have a good game, you will be dropped, no matter who it is. People are calling for Jetta's head because he didn't perform... what about the senior players who didn't perform?

He wants Bruce out every week.

How far away is Wrecker?

Yeah but Players dont get games on potential they get games on their match performances, and if Maric is playing good footy at casey then bring him in, but your right he has got it.

How many possessions once the game was over?

2 cheap goals in the last quarter.

Padding his stats.

its their insane desires, particularly when it comes to YM, anyone with any knowledge knows that McLean and Bruce won't be dropped :blink:

Out: Sylvia, PJ - both of 'em can play for Casey for the rest of their careers as far as I'm concerned

In: Jmac, Spencer. (If Jmac isn't fit then a traffic cone for Sylvia will do)

Not sure about the Bruce bashing :wacko: The side looked a hellova lot better when he fired.

But that`s what you think. I`m not a Clint Bartram man.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
