Does anyone no whether Beamer or Sylvia are actually injured?

 

Yay! McNamara's in the squad.

I'm totally baffled as to why he hasn't played either of the past 2 games.

Dunn too.

Good to have aussie back in there.

 

Have I missed an IN ?

Looks like we are going in 6 - 8 short of the A team. I'm getting the feeling that the pieces are coming together nicely for a Round One tilt at the Hawks. Plus continuing to get game time into and knowledge of Gysberts, McKenzie, Maric, Cheney, McNamara, Bail, Strauss and Fitzpatrick. Jeeez I'm looking forward to the real stuff starting...

Nowhere near as enthusiastic about Dunn as I am about McNamara. And Aussie, for that matter.

Those bolded are those who you would think would be certain to play Round 1 (if fit). So that's a pretty sizeable missing list from our 'Best 22'.

Rapt to have Aussie back. Just rapt. Also pleased to see how little Tommy Mac goes - he is very young still and I wonder if he's going to be one of those blokes that just slowly develops. No idea how he'll go, but best of luck to him.

Aussie, my only request is that you come through without injury. I don't care if you have donuts. All I want is game time and being injury-free.

I'd doubt very much that Watts will play Round !. I like seeing McNamara and Strauss playing. If McNamara makes it It allows us the freedom to play Garland forward. And Strauss was pick 18 in the Superdraft so I'm expecting quite a bit from him. He needs to stay fit and on the field.

Any team adding Bate, Bruce, Davey, Moloney and Sylvia for round 1 is going to be better off.

Does anyone know what is wrong with hughes? he didnt play last year not going to play this year whats the point in having him on the list. how old is he? 24?

I'd doubt very much that Watts will play Round !.

If he's fit, and I mean 100% fit, I think he will play.

I like seeing McNamara and Strauss playing. If McNamara makes it It allows us the freedom to play Garland forward. And Strauss was pick 18 in the Superdraft so I'm expecting quite a bit from him. He needs to stay fit and on the field.

Agree with all this. I see a real future for McNamara, and he should be playing much more regularly than he currently is. And anyone with Strauss' footskills is a walk-up start into a Melbourne side. Fitness and experience are what he needs most.


Very happy with the changes (except for Morton...)

Hopefully Watts, Bate, Garland, Bruce and Blease can get a run in the last practice match, although I have no idea how close they are to being ready.

  • 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.
