Its offical

Tapscott and Maric are in.

Out Bennell and Blease

That means Davey is either not fit or playing for Casey this weekend.

Macdonld probably did not come up either.

Interesting to see the Casey side on Sunday.

Cant believe Morton survives again. How was or is he better than bennell or Blease??

It better just be a currency buiilding exercise.

How could he have been worse?

Blease was on for half a game and Bennell was subbed off!

No complaints here, been waiting for Maz to get another run for a while, and Tappy is Tappy...

I agree, If Bennell is to be out we need to replace him with a small who can handle the greasy conditions, as well his stocky body will help to ride any bumps met in tough ball handling conditions. Better a body like Marics compared to a bodysize like Davey's.

Horses for courses Oldee. At this stage Blease is pretty much a Dry track sprinter.

Maric is a good selection for the conditions.

Seeing that Bennell has been dropped for being too 'Outsidish'. He went better last week @ Casey, lets hope he can dedicate himself to develop his 'inside' game to a much higher level.

The team continues to grow towards it's best 22 state.

Em, maybe, but if I were picking the team the first one out of the Darwin team would've been Blease, with the first in being Tappy. So following that logic,,, Bennell moves to Sub:

Then I want to drop Bennell as well, so he can have more time to develop his 'inside game' @ Casey, so I'd bring in a Maric type player.

However with all this I have to say I'm surprised the club is taking a hard line with Bennell now, for the Darwin game. This is one game (conditions), I would have kept him for. anyways.

Agree Davey will be a big chance. No way Bennell or Jurrah will be dropped. It would not surprise me if Jetta was made the sub to get as many of the indigenous blokes in the team as possible, especially with no Wona (and Jetta had a great game last year). MFC has shown in the past that they will let the marketing department pick the team.

Looks like I was wrong. Actually, not real sure how I could of been any more wrong.

My interest is that the FD now seem to be happy with leaving the back pockets as a speedy running Nicholson and so far the super defensive yet long kicking Strauss and putting Tapscott on the bench suggests to me a forward of center or middle role for Tapscott. I for one am incredibly happy with this!

I can't believe I was 75% correct, that's a better than normal strike rate, and all done under the influence of heavy drug sedation. Amazing. I should go buy a lotto ticket while I'm still high on pain killers, and if I win I'll donate some of the cash to the Keep Tom Scully From Making The Biggest Mistake of His Life Fund.

On the live team chat this arvo Martin Cox (not sure how much he knows??)seem to say when asked about Marric being the sub that he thought Howe or Gys would be more likely. Hope this is not the case....

OK i think my thread Davey at Casey just got deleted?? Anyway i was asking if anyone remembers someone stating as fact on here that Davey had a clause in his contract that he was not to play in the two's and that a few players had that clause and it was quite common.

OK - enough with the hints - what's your story? Why the hospitalisation? More points if you can weave in something related to footy.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
