Morton to GWS anyone?

Shuffle of the list at least!

I cannot believe the club still accepts his lazy attitude and poor output

I don't see what dropping Davey accomplishes besides lowering the ceiling of what the team could achieve.

This is the wrong mentality. Davey too probably has this mentality. "they won't drop me" = lack of intensity/desire that is obviously haunting many of our players. Watts played a good game, nobody can dispute that, but is it right that one good game out of five guarantees his spot for the next five weeks? I think not.

Look at Adelaide, one of their star players Bernie Vince was dropped back to the SANFL because he wasn't performing. Adelaide went out and beat the Saints, i know the Saints are struggling, but they're still the Saints.

I almost guarantee you we'd be in serious strife against the Saints if we were to play them this week. And we're going to be in even more strife against the Crows this week because they want it more. They'll walk all over us, because we have blokes like Davey in our team who think their spot is guaranteed. (Davey isn't the only one)

Also heard some murmurings about J.Riv missing out this week TDW.

Would you agree this move hehe ;)

I think the Vince dropping had more to do with his attitude. He can boogy. If you know what I mean.

"His form has not been great," declared Crows football operations chief Phil Harper last night of the Crows' 2009 club champion. "He has not lost his ability overnight but he may have lost his confidence.

"And, on form, Bernie does not deserve to be in the side."

We are SOFT, FFS drop people if they are not performing. Reinstate them if they prove their worth in the VFL, just don't let them drift through a season of AFL football without doing anything. Be hard.

Aussie the sub.

Give the experienced guys a chance to redeem themselves this week, if they're poor they get the chop... Newton been more consistant than Bate, and will give us that long option...

Yes, my view is short sighted, because I believe form slumps are generally short term things.

FWIW i believe there will be 2 changes

In: Bate, Maric

Out: Morton, Dunn

Newton was ordinary on the weekend.

Petterd didn't set the world on fire either and if i was a betting man i would suggest he's been sent back to Casey to work on a particular area of his game- when he gets that right he will be back.

McDonald still has sloppy ball use and barring an injury i can't see him forcing his way back in.

Warnock is stiff and must be close, it is also possible that melbourne do a bulldogs and bring in Warnock for Frawley to get some form at Casey.

Agree with all of this other than I rate McDonald higher than this, he is showing form at the moment.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
