Only listened on the radio but it sounded like Morton was OK??

Will have a coronary if Bate is brought back into the team. VFL form aside, he's going to be gone next year, same with Dunn & Warnock.

Posted

OUT: Morton, McKenzie, Davey (suspended), Sylvia (suspended)

IN: Jetta, Nicholson, Bail, Bate

no way for bate, he's only a good vfl player.

i know davey is a certainty to lose weeks, but what about sylvia??

I was struggling to think of anyone to come in.

EDIT: I forgot about Tapscott.

Sylvia suspended is a worse case scenario. Kennedy got off for breaking Sylvia's jaw in a similar incident but the MRP is a lottery these days.

Love to see Nicholson and Bail (if he's ready) in to finish out the year.

Davey is definitely gone (not complaining), Sylvia may get off?

I only heard snippets on ABC and it seemed that "Morton didn't commit" was a common theme.

Clint, were you at the game? Your call to drop McKenzie is the worst one I have heard this year. Strap yourself in to the lounge chair and force yourself to watch the game carefully rather than shooting it off. Then your observation and opinion might actually be worth reading.

Don't know if I watched a different game but thought Morton was good. Davey should not play again this year suspended or not. Jurrah will prob play next week but a couple of times today showed a complete lack of desire for the hard ball. Scully will be the highest paid player possibly in VFL history if the $ 1 million price tag is correct and will be well deserved.

Disappointed!

His refusal to kick the ball is costing the team dearly. He needs to go back to Casey to work on his kicking, wasn't the worst but that turnover at the end of the game on the forward fifty which lead to a Richmond goal was nothing short of inexcusable.

Sylvia should and will go. Kennedy does not provide a viable precedent.

Davey should go for longer for his gutless. It was undisciplined and was a cheap shot. He is an embarrassment as a team leader tonight.

I do kind of agree. His hands aren't good enough below his knees or good enough in tight. I love his attack and tackling, don't mind him just doing the basics but when it doesn't come off he looks bad. Still deserves his spot in the team.

Was merely pointing out the irony of the MRP situation with Sylvia and his bump.

The MRP do not even use precedent so there is no such thing a "viable" one.

Oh, look at that... McKenzie 14 contested possies, second only to Sylvia's 15! What a surprise... Clint, your bagging hiim for one clanger and yet I witnessed (in person Clint) more gutsy determination in and under than I have seen from any MFC player this year, including McKenzie. Give it up Clint, your just embarrassing yourself by pursuing this stupidity!

I dont think its relevant to the Sylvia case. I dont think the MRP is a lottery in all cases but I think Sylvia is cut and dry for a holiday.

I was at the game. FMD. that my friends was the Bailey game plan in all it's glory!

Morton got plenty of the pill. Didn't use it well enough though. At times he went in hard, at other times he should have gone harder.

Davey was atrocious. Green missed a couple but he at least contested and presented.

Scully had the fumbles bad.

Jones was fantastic. As was Sylvia. And fcuk I feel sorry for the backline.

I haven't seen tv replays of the Sylvia & Davey hits so I will take posters words that they will both miss.

On today's performance-

Out: Sylvia, Davey Scully

In: Tapscott, Bail, Jetta

There actually isn't anyone that stands out to be dropped this week, besides Davey who (sounds as if he) is gone.

Scully was good, by the way. Was clean in a really physical environment from what I saw.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
