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.

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

IN: Jetta, Nicholson, Bail, Bate

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

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.

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

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.

Out Davey, Sylvia (both suspended), Scully. In Bail, Jetta, Tapscott.

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
