Ok, so these aren't the changes I WANT but after reading the player review, I expect that Bailey will do this:

OUT: Warnock, Jetta, McKenzie

IN: Sylvia, McDonald, Bennell

Shame cos I like those 3 blokes, and think they are all part of our future, but I get the impression they're not amongst the favourites for the coaches.

Can already feel my frustration with Rivers, Bruce, and Miller building for next week... Will do my best to give them ANOTHER chance

Will not happen, but would like to see (based on yesterday's shocker):

OUT: Rivers, Miller, Warnock

IN: McDonald, Sylvia, Cheney

Also, one A. Davey needs to show up this week.

Yep, good call, fair call......love flash and have no doubt he will play a beauty this week as he does every 2ND week!

Be very careful when quoting Bruce's efficiency rate is it counts a handball to someone about to get crunched (who then gets crunched) as an effective disposal.

Which brings me to the motion for Champion Data to bring in a new stat called the "CAUFU" stat. the first three words are: "Complete and utter..." It represents, identifies and verify's the footballer responsible for such acts which directly or indirectly cause a turnover of severe magnitude.

I'll let others decipher what the rest of it is. Here's a clue: There were plenty of these yesterday. Go figure. :wacko:

I really think we need to start to play a second ruckman this will enable Jamar to push forward. With only 1 option available we need to bring in Spencer. Where is Martin?

Fumbled unnecessarily? ;)

Any source for that? And any sort of ETA?

Out: Jetta, Rivers, Mckenzie, Miller

In: Bennell, Cheney, McDonald, Sylvia

Out: green deck chairs

In: blue deck chairs

You're all over it like a fat kid in a lolly shop, aren't ya?

Keep the faith, those deck chairs will deliver :wacko:

Believe he has had an operation on his "hip". Don't know what is wrong. Unknown when he will return.

Jamar is a ruckman. Currently he is a frequently dominant ruckman.

Why the need to stick him up forward and take away from one of our strengths?

Posted

Jamar needs a rest at some stage and at the moment when he takes the 5 min out of the ruck we get smashed. I would like to see him rest up forward as a deep target for 5-10mins per quarter. We need to play a second ruck we can't keep having Miller, Dunn and Sylvia ruck they get smashed.

As of round 13 we're arguably the worst team in the competition. West Coast could give us a run for our money, but at least they beat us at the G. The good news for Bailey is that we're under the radar. The media have gone very soft on us.

But, we all understand it's a work in progress. While we have players that are clearly not good enough for us to become a top 4 side then we'll tread water until the talented youth develop. So I don't get too many jollies contemplating one spud replacing another.

I'll say. No thanks to S.Baker, and to the lesser degree S.Johnson and the MRP.

My team for this week would read:

FB: Bartram Warnock MacDonald

HB: Cheney Frawley Grimes

C: Garland Jones Sylvia

HF: Trengove Bate Davey

FF: Bruce Green Hughes

Rucks: Jamar Maloney McDonald

Inter: Rivers Miller Scully Morton

In: Cheney, Sylvia, Hughes, Junior

Out: Jetta, McKenzie, Watts, Dunn

Posted

Injured.

Out: green deck chairs

In: blue deck chairs

LOL. Very good. :lol

A good summation of the situation.

Gysberts 2 weeks away.... hurt his back. Injury list on afl website.

So a four week injury in essence factoring in the week off and the weekend just gone?

Glad we heard about that two weeks after the fact. :(

Nah not really Jack, I doubt it occurred in the Pies game. Gys was at the boxing camp - I am wondering if it happened there.

It was mentioned pre-game that he had hamstring tightness, obviously back related.

I didn't notice Gys at the boxing camp Ox?

Thanks for the update..hopefully a problem soon alleviated as these can become troublesome. Surely we've had our share of damn fine players over the last 20 years cut down by injury at one stage or another, the Ox being one, Glen Lovett, Stinger, Jakovich, Lyon...on and on.

Really think we missed Gys in the middle last week, even being young he is an addition into midfield rotations and a good one at that.

I am pretty certain I saw him in photos. He is a good clearance player thats for sure. Another one of our boys with a small frame but willing to get to the bottom of packs. It's good to see.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
