Garland Forward- Cheney in

Featured Replies

I think what that really means is that they are definitely aware that Garland has some ability as a forward, and just like Brian Lake, Adam Hunter, Dustin Fletcher and many of others Garland could be the guy who gets moved forward when you need a goal or two to win a game, or when injuries to forwards during games happen. But by the fact they keep playing him as a defender I really think that's where they will keep him as long as he holds his spot there. Cheney will have to take another spot in the starting 7 defenders.

Exactly, and Garland could well be capable of pinch hitting as a forward on the occasional circumstance.

But I wonder if Eade ever has ever had the bright idea to put Lake as a permanent forward so he can develop one of his NQR defenders playing at Williamstown?

Maybe Eade is looking to bring back Wade Skipper as CHB for the dogs???!

Yeah not good examples here Steve with Bennell, he started forward from this year because he wasn't cutting it down back as the current settled line up has. I would almost suggest that had Jurrah and Sylvia been there from Rnd 1, even Tapscott possibly we might not have seen Jimmy in the seniors. Couldn't call that experimenting or development because I doubt you will ever see Jim return to defense anytime soon.

We need a forward - it could be time for Garland. That goal against the Pies on QB from 55 was all class.

Doesn't sound like a bad idea - he's a booming kick and a good runner.

But, I don't see it happening this year. This is something that will need to be worked on during the pre season.

Considering that we're playing the Saints who currently don't have many talls in their forward line, this week might be a good time for him to play forward. We're also unlikely to beat the Saints, so I reckon it's worth trialling.


He's been giving away far too many frees in defence this year. 17 against while only 4 for. This needs to be addressed if he's to become a good defender.

I wouldn't mind trialling him forward later in the year.

Rhino, the basic problem is that the better Demon players at Casey are all in the backline. Cheney is going great guns, Strauss is coming along nicely and MacDonald even kicked two goals from the half-back line on Saturday. Cheney's defensive work is first rate and I would promote him next week. To do this something has to give, as he is an out-and-out defender. For me, I would send Grimes to the midfield and replace him with Cheney. Failing that, did someone mention Bruce?

I think Bruce is near fininshed-great post above,I agree whole heartedly.Either shift Grimes to the guts,Bruce to the wing and Cheney in.It must be heart breaking for a young man like Cheney not getting a go.

Its called part of the life of an AFL aspiring footballer. Every fringe player goes through it. MFC should not be a charity

If Bruce is near finished then its no good trying to "hide" him in a midfield position.

And if Grimes is seen as better suited to playing off the HBF then so be it. If you think of the potential midfield of Scully, Trengove, Blease, Tapscott, Morton, Bail, Davey, McKenzie, Beamer, Jones, Bennell (and a future Viney) with cameos by Green and Sylvia through the midfield I not sure you can just keep stuffing players in there.

All just to accomodate a player from the VFL who is not deemed good enough to command a role in the side on merit.

 

Just so you know Rhino.

Due to time constraints, I am unable to reply to every one of your rebuttals.

It seems you have far too much time on your hands and for that, I will let you enjoy

my lack of response.

It's cute that you get a kick out of replying and criticizing so many posters on this site

for thinking outside the square sometimes and proposing ideas. It seems you will only

jump on board when the FD do. Sad really.

I enjoy reading your band of merry men also, (Nasher, Enforcer and co.)

It's enjoyable to read posts that give yours a tap on the bum.

Keep them coming.

Regards.

Just so you know Rhino.

Its just a pity they're never yours Stevie.

Keep swinging slugger.


You have time to respond to that post but not any of the others. You even had time to respond to a post to specifically say that you didn't have time to respond to his posts. Insecure much?

Tee hee.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
