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.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
