in Melbourne Demons

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.

    go Dees

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
