Why don´t we throw Frawley in the middle on occassions? Especially when some of the kids are getting smashed around by bigger bodies. He has the strength, pace...and footy brain...to make an impact if used in short bursts.

    Frawley is our best key defender. He's too busy keeping a leash on the oppositions power forward. There would no benefit in throwing him in the middle to mix it with the competitions elite midfielders who would towel him up, and then would be able to hit Franklin/Cloke/J or N Reiwoldt etc on the [censored] because Frawley isn't breathing down their necks.

    As for the kids getting bashed around by bigger opponents, we still have Moloney, Sylvia and Jones in the middle. Moloney and Sylvia are as big as anyone, Jones is hardly small and Trengove has increased in size considerably. Not to mention that Jamar and Martin (both over 100 Kg) are in there too.

    The rest will grow in strength rapidly over the coming seasons, in the mean time I think after having unearthed a guy who could become the comps Elite Key Back in coming years, it would be unwise to to start moving him about.

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
