You wouldn't pick Davey for a game of tiddlywinks after today's effort

Be fair, he's probably very good at non-contact games.

FFS, PLAY T. MCDONALD!

He had a great pre- season and got sh*t all game time in the NAB Cup. Why?

Has spent about 2 minutes learning to be a forward, and kicked 3 today. He is strong and tough, and he needs the experience.

I was a little confused why he didn't see much time in the NAB Cup. Showed promise last year, apparently was a standout over the summer, and played ok up in the monsoonal round robin joke. Good week to put his hand up as there are a bunch who should come out.

Does anyone know what position Morton played? Was it a "physical game"?

Did McDonald actually play at FF? Could he fill the absolute vacancy, the desperate long term deficit, we have at CHF currently?

How did Tapscott play? Not mentioned in the better players but was he close?

Was Sellar playing on a 'monster' in defence?

Dunn with 3 goals not mentioned in the better players? Were these hard fought goals or gimmies?

Bartram suspended? For that 'sling tackle'. If he is that's almost as bad as JT's suspension last year.

Forget Morton please Good Times- not again ,not until he has suffered .

Tappy yes please .

Couch-why not

Bennell -pace ,skill and accountability would be good .

If Morton played well yesterday he deserves to play against WCE.

Apparently the penny dropped for him some time during the pre-season and was showing signs of his old self. He has holes in his game but he also has enough weapons to benefit the side next week.

Hopefully a few other things dropped as well :huh:

Poor Good Times....on the end of a stray Biffo Biff! Too funny :lol:

It actually kills me that we passed on Fyfe twice, at pick 11 for Gysberts and pick 18 for Tapscott. Fyfe was highly rated pre-draft, everyone knew about him.

Fyfe is an absolute star of the competition, and our 2 guys are injury-prone, unfit and can't make it in the best for the VFL.

And everyone let him get through to the pick he got to. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Disagree on picking him before Gysberts but agree with Tapscott on the basis they both played as half forwards during the champs so you can argue like for like and they are so close in the pick they were chosen..

The guy's head did NOT hit the ground, and he was NOT injured.

If that is now an illegal tackle the game has deteriorated to basketball netball level

After yesterdays results for both Melbourne & Casey I'd be looking at:

Bennell for Davey

Couch for Moloney

Dunn for Green

Petterd (if fit) for Blease &

Sellar for Mac Donald

Gysberts, T. McDonald & Tapscott emergencies.

Need to bring some physicality into the team which Couch, Dunn & Sellar all do, Sellar also helps with WC's tall forwards, and Bennell & Petterd to hopefully give us some forward pressure.

Moloney you may bring back in after 1 week in he dominates. Davey & Green would have to dominate for weeks on end to earn a recall. Morton & T. McDonald clearly wont be far away if they can continue their good form & I have no doubt both Gysberts & Tapscott will be better for their runs.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
