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.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
