    god dam it! Strauss must be played in the 1's i was hoping for a dees debut asap.

    And i have not seen any of caseys games, but Watts better be playing and groomed as a forward not a middle player.

  • Quote

    Strauss surely must get a game in the one's!!! hopefully jurrah too!!!

    Straussy had 30 odd possies to half time in the 2nd ressies last week and German hinted at both he and Jurrah were ready for a senior call-up so.. you'd hope so! ;)

    also,

    expect the Messiah to drift forward to start to build up his marking and goal-kicking for the big time, now he has got a decent feel for the style of play and that, thru the centre.. 20+ touches in and around the midfield last week is an awesome effort for such a big lad and peter germans report on him was very encouraging. now he has a better understanding of how and where to expect the ball to come from, which is a great process IMHO.

    gee thats a pretty good and Dees flavoured casey squad this week...

    Watts on the wing is fine IMHO he is lacking fitness playing on the wing will help and he will be able to drift down and snag a goal newton and robbo will be fighting for room in the forward 50

    What the hell is Watts doing in the centre? Surely they need to see him kicking goals?

    See now, this will be a problem for 2010 and, probably, 2011. Fans will expect him to do things his body won't let him do.

    He will play wing/HFF for an extended period for the Dees, and for Casey.

    He would get monstered in the forward line and wouldn't get near it. He needs touches to develop.

    MFC fans - Get used to him on the wing for the foreseeable future is all i'll say...

    Yeh hope straussy plays ones i really wana see him debut this year for the dees.

    Dissapointing to see no Buckley i really rate the kid, i really wanted to see him get a full season in and blue.

    Hopefully only resting him for precautionary reasons just liek they did to Higgins not because its a real bad injury or to prevent one(O.P).

    I think its good he is starting on the wing. Will get his hands on the ball and show us his great disposal. We all know he can kick goals, and he will.

    Interesting rpfc, I've always thought that we'd get the best out of Watts if he doesn't play in one of th ekey positions, say a floating half forward type. Give him the freedom to move about, obviously he needs to vatly improve his tank.

    According to Demonland on the gameday thread CC said at a function last night that Jack is up with Cale in the elite level at the beep test. It's third hand info but I'd trust the sauces. Strength would seem to be the issue with him playing forward. With our lack of options up there at present it'd be hard to protect him from the bigger defenders. They'd probably go to him before Robbo, Miller or Bate. His engine and agility allow him to play up the ground a bit while he puts on some muscle.

    Grimes not Watts.

    Why is there a strike through Cheney's name?

    And Dunn? Perhaps they've gone to the gold coast as emergencies?

    Watts beep test time is around 13 and a half, he's very far of Morton's time.

    Two things he needs to work on, his engine and hardness at the ball

    Yeah, both have gone to the Gold Coast as emergencies.

    Hope Strauss gets a run in the Casey seniors. Really hoping he can push for a run with the Dees later in the season.

    No Bucks is disappointing. Hope he can get back soon.

    Do we usually travel with 2 emergencies?

    What are the chances of Cheney in for Frawley?

    In the video with CC and the Hun journo's (see other thread), CC said that we'll be taking 2 emergencies to the Gold Coast with us because we have a couple of players under injury clouds.

    Buckley is surely having the season from hell. Like you I rate him also and cant wait to get him back in the side.

    from a big footy thread

    2's win 19.16.130 to 12.9.81. Preston got a couple late to keep it respectable.

    I only saw 2nd half, so wait for the coaches report but Strauss didn't get an enormous lot of it running off hb but looked good when he did. Zomer kicked a couple but doesn't do much to set him apart from the other forward line contenders, and Wheatley was good but clearly nowhere near 100% fitness.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
