I'd play Stef down back to take on the oppositions gorilla forward. Hes quick over the first 10 is strong and gives him a set task to perform. Frees up garland/rivers/frawley from having to constantly

Im sorry guys but at this stage i would drop Jamar and keep Martin as the number 1 ruck for the next 3 years. Then Gawn will take the job. Jamar is well down on form and i know martin is too like half

Sorry Dr, I totally disagree, and I harp on similar discussion each and every year. Premiership sides generally have 2 rucks and 2 key forwards. Let's look at Geelong, the have West and Stephenson a

Martin hasn't been in great form: Sellar did more last week.

But I tend to agree with deesrule that we need another big but athletic defender, as Garland and Rivers are not up to the bigger forwards. Martin has shown this aptitude, reads the play, and IMO fits the role. Sellar may become the swing man, Rivers the sweeper and Garland maybe even a mid though his disposal needs improvement.

Good call to drop Martin. It puts the pressure on Jamar to perform now. Martin will be back.

Now we need Jamar to ruck 80%..no reason why he can't do it...i fail to see how he couldn't swap with Clark for 20%....Clark loves a contest.

Martin in the main rucking role ....or Jamar. Can't see Martin anywhere else other than ruck in the middle. Will see him in and at the contest more often. See what he's got to offer. Nothing to lose given where our season's at.

Can't afford 2 ruckmen off the bench though (and Martin not very convincing up forward or elsewhere so far). So for the remainder of the season.....

2 to 3 weeks Martin as the main ruck.... 2 to 3 weeks Jamar. Lets see how they (and the team) perform in this role going solo. Review them and our requirements at the end of the season maybe.

Just like to see how he rolls through the middle again prior to season finish without Jamar as back up. Seemed to do it quite well last year when we asked him to step up.

Although I think this is an interesting idea. I would prefer to start with Jamar & make Martin earn his spot. But I do agree just have this feeling its got to be one or the other.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
