I thought Bartram played a very good game in the back pocket. Layed some heavy tackles and gave plenty of run. May be our best option as a small hard nosed backman. Still has many years ahead of him and hopefully with further confidence may cement his place in the side for years to come.

It great to see Bart's back to his first year form, but remember he sustained a bad ankle injury that year, which i think kept him out for most or all of the next season. Last year he has to deal with his father passing away, it would be really tough on a young man. I think he is a good stopper, but when the ball is in his hands, my heart usually in my mouth, but sunday he used the ball really well i thought, and did some very good things with his disposals . Go Bart's!

I think it is because we are getting better players into positions around him now, as I have said in previous post, the developement of the middle tier players like Bate, Bartram, Dunn, Newton etc had stalled, they have had a couple of years with Bailey, but last year, especially we were playing more to lose. After Hawthorn, they were told in no uncertain terms they have to perform, they are improving all the time, but I regard them as only a year or two into their development........also Bartam has to perform every game, he will stay in the side if he does as long as there is a role or matchup.......but for one he has Cheney breathing down his neck as well as Bennell who will revert to the role when we get another crumbing forward up and running such as Jetta and Wonna

Bate was 4th in the Bluey last year in a crippled forward line. Try again.

Some players have stalled because of the player themselves.

Bartram in the past two weeks is better than Bennell down back and I am not sure why Cheney is breathing down his neck. Not sure who Cheney reasonable matches up on as I dont see him with any strong skill out of his bag of tricks that makes him an AFL player. I cant see Bennell going back too soon given his past efforts there . Nor can I see either Wonna or Maric challenging for a while. And Jetta IMO does not cut it at the higher level.

As for development no matter how you want to spin it, Newton and Dunn are in their sixth year on the list and have shown little to date that they are not warming the bench for others to return or better youngsters to develop.

how can you cross a line thru Jetta after only 10games?

Just like I crossed a line through Isaac Weetra after 2 games...

I dont think he has the sufficient level of skills to cut a career in the fwd pocket at MFC and I think we will have better options to run through the midfield in the future.

Jetta loves to monster the ball and his oponents. He is a little ripper. A little man with a big heart. In his first year he did very well. I reckon he is a versitle small, can kick goals up forward, can move thru the middle and his tackling and crumbing ability may allow him to play back pocket if need be. Jetta knows how to go for it.

I saw Newton kick 5 or 6 at VFL level. I have seen PJ win the Liston at VFL level and neither are AFL standard.

I hope Jetta does prove me wrong.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
