Why delete Forkems and RRs stoush? I was waiting for RRs reply.

Wrong thread I think Golly. Check Saints Fire sale thread for that doozy.

Re Maric ... Not quick enough in both mind and foot for a quality AFL small forward.

Newton's 4th law: For every supporter angry at an unjust delist there's an equal an opposite mob angry at a puzzling player retention.

Newton? What a hack. He should stop making Laws and start kicking footballs, because his time is running out - if it hasn't already.

Juice has a role to play - if we have Jamar/Martin and Clark/Watts at MFC with Gawn/Fitzpatrick and Cook/Newton at Casey - Fev and Campbell will be gone and Spencer won't be available until mid year. We'll get some injuries in that group.

Im glad there are others out there that feel the same way about Newton. If he survives I want answers. Yes I know he is a rookie but he is still clogging that spot for someone who in the future we could use. We have enough backup ruckman now and we dont need another foward. Seriously who can believe he is still with us after 7 years.

As I said last year. I never thought Id see the day that James McDonald would get shafted from the club before Juice. If Newton survives yet again then I reckon he has other issues that the club are helping him through. If he was around long enough to be a 10 year life member then that would be the biggest joke.

Mark wake up he wont help us. Get a young kid in on the rookie list.

Just playing devil's advocate for a minute... assuming we make no more rookie delistings, we will have three selections in the upcoming rookie draft. I doubt that there have been too many players selected in the fourth round or later of the rookie draft that have gone on to have stellar careers. James McDonald is the only player I know of (taken at the start of rookie fourth round) that has forged a stellar career from this low down in the pecking order. And 2011 is supposed to be a weak draft at the pointy end, let alone the rookie pool.

My point is, that while Juice may not have shown much in his seven years, the reality is we are sacrificing almost nothing by retaining him, especially if the FD see a sliver of value.

Now back to reality, it's probably a moot point as I suspect he will be delisted anyway.

Oh pleeze! I'd take my chances on a 1000:1 longshot in a heart beat rather than prolong the agony any longer. Do you realise 1 more year and Juice is eligible for free agency! Think about it.

Re Juice. Someone said it earlier, perhaps the club has forgotten he's on the list and Juice is keeping very freaking quiet.

Playing as Defence : wont get a game

Midfield : wont get a game

Ruck : Behind Jamar, Martin, Gawn, Clark (maybe spencil)

Forwards : Behind Watts, Jurrah, Clark, Dunn, Bate, Petterd, Green, Martin, Howe

I just have no idea how this bloke is on the list. None.

MFC do not have to fill all the rookie spots. I rather cut him and if no better option is available use the money on another coach rather than pay social security to Newton.

Couldn't agree more. 1000:1 shot would be vastly greater odds than Newton's. The guy is the biggest potato in the AFL.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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
