Isn't it funny how well a player can play when he is played in the position that he has played all his life. Morton was an elite midfielder at junior ranks, we have been trying to make him something he isn't a defensive utility.

Casey V Sandy HUN

Amazing to read the Hun report as opposed to the reports from here.

It seems as if Jurrah and Sylvia were amazing yesterday. Wow!

Youd almost wonder whether the Hun was actually there or got its info secondhand :rolleyes:

BB everyone see's things differently.

Just look at Demonland, some think a certain player is a champion and others think the same player is a dud.

IMO Sylvia should stay at Casey another week but he will probably return.

I have wanted to play Warnock for the last month but he stays at Casey.

Just depends on your view I guess.

Soory Old..youre right of course.. It just seems far too predictable piece of fish wrap coming from the HUN..was it written Friday ?? lol

Im with you that Col ought to stay there..but doubt he will. Id happily bring in Warnock...and rest......lol.. well many could fill that in for me :rolleyes:

Id treat maybe al lbar the WCE as "development" and trial some kids... who knows what we may unearth.

even though he has only played one senior game back from a long term injury at Casey I would be tempted to play Fitzpatrick.

Saw him a bit last year and a couple of times before he got injured.

Shows a lot of promise but it may be 1 week early.

If you have seen the Foundation heroes book you will see my name in it, if you would like me to email you the page I will. I've donated more than that each year since they started the debt Demolition, but thanks for your advice anyway.

Super retort RobbieF.

Comforting isnt it and just when we thought we were all at sea !!

something about shuffling deckchairs suddenly comes to mind :rolleyes:

Good to see Blease and Morton named in the best. I'd really like to see Blease play for the Dees again this season because I think that he'll be a very handy asset for us if he makes it as an AFL player.

Stones...glass houses...it all gets a bit messy, really.

Like Rono, you might need to be reminded of your greatest hits.

Why don't you spend some time telling the kiddies about how you rated Brock Mclean as the next MFC captain because of his "competitive instinct" - remember, you said it was that part of footy that you cannot teach and that Brock had?

Or that wonderful summation of Garland being the 2nd worst footballer to wear our guernsey?

Ah, what a wonderful thing "instinct-driven" judgement is!

Listening/reading Viney's comments on the Casey game it would appear that Sylvia had a specific job and things to work on and did what was required of him. The best players are obviously those who had the biggest impact on the game but that doesn't mean Sylvia or Jurrah didn't perform to the standard Viney expected of them. He also made mention of Morton's game. I would love to see both Morton and Blease back for the Demons this week.

Jack Fitzpatrick is 200cm forward who from all accounts is on track and did well on the weekend. The West Coast defence is good but not overly tall. I think he might be worth a chance. What do we have to lose? We have not kicked a lot of goals over the past two weeks and would assist Jurrah, Silvia,( believe they should be in) Watts & Green from a bit of heavy work.

Robbie Campbell is also a big bodied unit unlikely to be fazed at all by Cox,Lynch,Nic Nat and co. With unfortunate injury to Strauss could be the time to check his value on the list and a real challenge for him personally.

Tom McDonald 194cm defender and we may need some size back there as well. Maybe worthwile to have as the sub as he can play both ends.

I wouldn't be disappointed if they all got their chance from Casey this week..

Actually it's best I clarify your misrepresentation. I never said that about Garland and while I was an advocate of McLean in 2006 I also recognised 3 years later that the game had passed him by. I was in favour of trading him.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
