Ask for a trade? You're jumping at shadows.

You've been spooked by that ridiculous post about Sylvia hypothetically asking for a trade due to the "disrespect" of not being put straight back in the side.

As if half a season of good form has earned it.

You are aware it has now been revealed he had 'carry-over' points with the leadership group after other indiscretions, similar to the tribunal?

Yes, I was well aware that the reason Sylvia was sent to Casey last weekend was related to the carry-over points issue.

I never said anything about him missing last week. He has to wear that, and I have no issue with that decision.

My point was, that I cannot see how the selection committee could justify not picking him 'this' week. Some have suggested that he may not be selected this week, and the fact that he's only on the extended bench leaves it an open possibility.

Not picking him simply because we don't want to win the game, as someone else intimated, would be ridiculous. That's what concerns me...

If the MFC as a club panders to players whims and is not willing to leave a player out for one match for fear they will leave, then we will truly be in a lot of trouble...

The club is bigger than any one man and the tail does not wag the dog.

You're not reading what I said.

I had no issue with the one match ban imposed by the leadership group. I'm worried that he might be named as an emergency this week and there'd be no justification for that...

No mate I understand perfectly.

He's done his time, he was one of the best at Casey on the weekend, he deserves a recall. I just would hate to see him ask for a trade now, after all that's happened...

We can't keep him out of the team any longer. Collecting a bloke behind the play isn't a capital offence last time i checked....

nupp ..you dont... youre still thinking in a week by week /this year mode. Playing out the rest of the year has to done with care and candour...and all players must do whats right for the right outcome. Simple as that

Well done to both Rohan Bail and Tommy Mac, looking forward to seeing what they can do. Definitely the only interesting thing about Sunday (apart from possibly seeing Jetta ruck :lol: ).

Well, thank god the truism is correct.

'Everytime you join a new forum, you will have to defend yourself to at least 1 'braindead [censored]' within the 1st three days...'

Thanks for fulfilling that prophecy... :lol:

hahaha how did i know you were going to say that. Might Warnock actually have an injury? Its not that much of a help, I mean kangers don't have the biggest forward line. McIntosh might sneak down there for a bit but will be doing 70 - 80 % of the ruck work.

HF: Matt Campbell, Corey Jones, Brent Harvey

F: Leigh Adams, Drew Petrie, Lindsay Thomas

Folks...you have a simple choice..you can let it get to you and you end up with yor grundies in a twist and feeling bitter towwards this game/club etc ..or....you can embrace this farce for whatit is... A set of circumstances thrust upon us and not entirely in our control and one that we must make the bestfist of for our own good. Its a game within a game. So far.so good B)

Well said.

Shitttt I just read the last few posts. Far out we have been very unlucky this year, probley a good thing though. I wonder if he done this on the w/e or if he has been carrying it and they have decided to send him off to surgery so he can get right for next year?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
