Premiership Midfield

Nathan Jones - Shining light

Jack Grimes - Needs to be moved to the midfield NOW

Jordie McKenzie - Defensive role player.

Jack Trengove - desperately needs support

Jack Viney - Why oh why can't it be next year already

Maybe... but no-where near fit enough

Jordan Gysberts - If his attitude was remotely AFL compatible, he'd have played 3 games already this year.

Luke Tapscott - Would love to see this bloke running through the middle

Sam Blease - Would love his pace breaking the lines

Brent Moloney - Quality clearance player - 1 week in 4, don't see him being part of our success

Sad to see

Davey - Gone

Green - Gone

Syivia - never here

Bate - not a midfielder

Morton - not a footballer

Sorry to say but we're not winning a flag in 2012!

For 2013, we need significant fitness improvement from Gystberts, Tapscott and Blease, + 2 please pretty please don't F$%k this up, 2 quality genuine midfielders.

    It's back to the good old days of starting to study up on likely top 5 draft picks. I thought those days were behind us. Silly me.

    Where do you dream this stuff up? One hand on the keyboard one elsewhere.

    Put it this way mate, the person who dreamt it up would know.

    Is Tapscott quick enough for the midfield?

    Very good post. Well thought out and does make sense. There is certainly confusion amongst our players there is no cohesion and willingness to run, carry and spread. Too many players seem afraid to make the play and instead turn it over with errant handballs. to players that are already covered.

    In regard to Blease I attended pre-season training every week leading up to the NAB Cup and have heard similar things about him. Unless his attitude improves he could well be trade bait. Let's hope he matures and puts the work in.

    Pretty similar to what Ive heard.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
