Rage away.

In: Howe

Out: Newton

Howe for Bate. Newton sucks but Martin has to get relief eventually.

One DEFINITE inclusion is Trengove. Hopefully the Sculldog also.

Blease for Bennell?

I didn't mind Benell this week. Think we give him another run. It's Bate/Newton I'm really worried about. Morton really needs to be given a job. Stanton?

Um... how does Jetta keep his spot? He lays 5 tackles a game and that's it. :/

Jetta, Bennell, Morton, Bate, Newton, Petterd and Maric should all be worried.

We should debut Blease (especially if he does well in the VFL again this week!), bring in Scully ASAP, we'll get Trengove back, throw in Strauss (top 20 draft pick!!!) and debut big Maxy Gawn.

Something drastic needs to happen... so make half a dozen damn changes vs Dons and let's get some new blood in!!!

And no... "The Chin" Dunn is not an inclusion just because he has served his 2-week suspension. He's hopeless and should go straight to Casey Reserves.

*pant* Had a gutful.

Get rid of Petterd and Morton too and in comes Trenners, Dunn and Gawn

Would be good to see Scully too but I guess that'll depend how he goes / pulls up at Casey

Edit: Happy to turf out Maric too... Too slow for a little bloke and doesnt man up

Again, Petterd played really poor football. Just after he kicked his goal his stats came up: 2 kicks 4 handballs. I don't think we can drop him but some forward pressure would be nice. I wouldn't like to be him this week for his one-on-one player review. Needs to stay in but one more week of this week rubbish and he will lose his place again.

Morton. The Mortons are all the same. Show glimpses of brilliance merged in with a lot of fluff, poor disposable and dumb football. They won't drop him though.

Warnock. This bloke is ending up one of those poor blokes who is too good for VFL and yet not up to AFL level. When I last saw him for 2 games for Casey I was pleading for him to come into our 22. He works hard, reads it well and then... brain fades and kicks out-on-the-full when under no pressure, drops easy chest marks etc...

Newton. How can you be so good (some of his running to get to a contest) AND so bad in the same game? In the first quarter he peeled off the contest before we had won the ball and was sprinting into our forward line calling for it, until he realised that Carlton had it and were already up to the wing. He is an absolute [censored]. Considering Essendon's height he won't be dropped until Jamar or Garland return.

OUT: Warnock, Nicholson

IN : Trengove, Howe

I would love to swing an axe but we just can't.

Morton deserve another week. Thought his early attack on the ball showed he had learnt he has to go at times. To be honest we were that poorly coached i feel I can't take it out on to many players. Jurrah has little idea about footy other than trying to do miracle things.

In the gun: Morton, Warnock, Bate, Maric, Evans, Newton, Jurrah, Bennell, Petterd

OUT: Bate, Morton, Newton, Warnock

IN: Scully, Trengove, Gawn, McDonald

FB: Macdonald Rivers Frawley

HB: Nicholson McDonald Bennell

C: Green Moloney Jones

HF: Sylvia Watts Evans

FF: Maric Jurrah Petterd

Foll: Martin Trengove McKenzie

Int: Gawn, Gysberts, Jetta, Scully

Juice isn't the worst FF, but is horrible in the ruck. Time to give big Max a go. Bate might be a bit unlucky, but I'd rather stick with Petterd and Jurrah. Morton just isn't quiet there yet with his skills or hardness. Back to Casey to really fix it up. Finally, who are we kidding with Warnock. Time to give Tom McDonald a go.

Possibly he does, but due to the height of Essendon we can't drop Newton or any other tall player. And as the sub he was supposed to have an impact but had little. This is probably not his fault because the team around him were average, but he is the best out for Trengove.

He was far from our worst.

It's hard to impact a game when it's pretty much over.

I agree with an earlier poster

Put Frawley Forward!!!

He is quick strong and fit!

It is clearly the biggest problem at the moment and heck we can't get any worse.

If it doesn't work well who cares but it just might make Pettard and Jurrah see what hard work can do if it pays off

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
