Morton possibly playing on his brother to try to fire him up!

I hope this happens!

Jurrah on the wing where he can run hard both ways, getting his workrate up and get some miles into his efforts.

Like It.

Fitzy @ CHF... excellent.

Cook In the 2's again.. Cmon Cooky lift son!

Do you think this may have been the reason the MFC didn't want Casey to recruit Fev? Less opportunities for our developing forwards.


Good to see Bail back.

Didn't DB get smashed for starting Jurrah on the wing v Geelong?

That was the reason given at the time.

Two observations

- named position often bears mo resemblance to starting position: Fitzpatrick was named on the wing last week, and though I didn't witness the game I would be pretty confident he didn't start, or certainly spend much time there.

- coburg VFL ain't Geelong AFL

Yep. Exacery!

And named in a forward pocket not even full forward or centre half forward, what's going on Fev isn't in the Casey Reserves as well is he?

I don't know - do you really think Morton, if he plays at Casey, will be in the back pocket?

Or that Bennell will play in the centre?

These lineups are rarely accurate.

Hows Daniel Rich going??

Wait a few seasons and let Cooky build some mass. If you compared Watts first season to Darlings, you would take Darling every time... but how about now? Watts for sure.

meanwhile James McDonald from the rookie list - 200 games plus and captain - your point ? ( I actually understand your point - but nothing infuriates more than retrospective drafting - there will always be players we could have had and players we have that others could have had)

Retrospective drafting is after the fact; posters on this board were screaming for Darling to be drafted before the fact.

Don't try to tell me they were better informed than our recruiting department.

Darling just had a high profile.

And some poster screamed for Fev and Akermanis - so we were the only bunnies that passed up on Darling ? So he has so far proven to be ok - There will be a hundred genius's on here who will say - I said we should we have picked up ......yet we only hear of the pick that has made it ( and he aint quite there yet"

So I will say - before he went to Brisbane, to all those who were screaming for Fev - put your hands up and say

"and then there is Fev"

I guess there was a reason for that.

Not the be all and end all, RobbieF.

Fyfe anyone?

Was that directed at me? I didn't want Fev but I did want Darling, whether he turns out the player I think he will be remains to be seen, but he appears to be the sort to fit in to the current style of the game.

i've said this many times before, I don't care what the other clubs did, I don't care if they passed up on a player or not, good recruiters are those that can see the talent in a player when no one else can. If we are going to give big raps to our recruiters then they should get it right, in particular with their high draft picks and God knows we've had plenty of them lately.

Where's Wona?

Was not in either side last week and no appearance again!

Last week he was "feeling a little off" after the Geelong game.

He is becoming the invisible man.

Any one know what is going on?

I don't think he'd be match-fit yet, after such a long time off.

 

I guess there was a reason for that.

They don't want to know Robbief.

Tomorrow he will be cutiing us up and our selection is playing in the Casey reserves today.

There needs to be some big reversals over the next couple of years before we catch up!

good recruiters are those that can see the talent in a player when no one else can.

Yes - and part of this is being able to imagine what a player will become when his weight becomes proportional to his height. Recruiting the likes of Darling (or Luke Tapscott for an example closer to home) is the easy part of the business because what they will be is often what they already are. Seeing attributes you like in a body that isn't ready yet is the tricky part. That is why so many people are throwing themselves off cliffs over us recruiting Cook over Darling - because they are unable to see Barry's future vision for the player.

Just to be clear I'm not saying that Cook was a good choice, I'm saying there's no way we can tell whether he was a good or bad choice until he develops further.

    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.
