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.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
