Weird reactions here. The kid is 21, and has never looked terrible.

Why the hate?

    Clearly, Nasher. I'm just pointing out that whilst he clearly isn't up to the grade, saying he looked 'completely lost' at AFL level after a couple of games is a bit silly.

    How about Nick Sautner at full forward?

    But, he did. How much value you place on him being lost is up to you, but he looked lost.

    I don't think he's good enough. Is that phrasing more to your liking?

    Probably a bit too left field TD, but nothing wrong with outside the box. It's the proposals everyone scoffs at that can sometimes be the best.

    He did seem utterly lost at AFL level though.

    While I don't disagree with your last sentence, to be fair he was played forward in those 2 games he played, where as at Casey 99% of the time he was played back.

    Fair enough, I'm not in a position to watch Casey to make a judgement on his form. The backline isn't a huge concern for mine. Frawley will be a loss, but even If he leaves, someone like Pedo could slot back in with Hogan to come into the side. Garland too will obviously need to return to something resembling his 2013 form. I would also a suggest that the LAST thing we need is another defender who can't kick.

    I don't want to lay the boot into the guy, but I didn't see anything that said he could be an AFL player. I'll leave it to those much wiser to make such a call, but it would be a big one.

    I had high hopes for Troy Davis as well. I posted recently on ology that I think he would be worth looking at as a rookie draft prospect if Frawley was to leave. Always seemed to have a bit of mongrel and desire about him, and at 21/22 there is plenty of time to flourish as a KPP. Would likely never be a champ but would be solid backup if required, especially if he was given a limited role or job to do, ala Georgiou.

    Some people are very harsh on our young blokes, which is often well founded, but I heard nothing but good things about Troy's attitude and that is one of the most important things you need in your back-up players.

    Because he is average. Very, very average. Would not improve the list one bit.

    This whole page seems to have become confused. Are we talking about Davis or Barry here??? (hint: thread header says Davis)

    I'm just as confused.

    I once met Barry Davis, top bloke.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
