Presumably the VFL have rules about how many and who can be dropped to the Reserves when the Seniors have a bye.

The likes of Bennell, Blease, Cook, Martin, Davis, Tynan will be just spectators then.

A pretty poorly organised competition to have a bye year after year. If they are to be taken seriously as an AFL feeder / support competition they need to get an even number of teams so that byes aren't regularly stuffing up preparations.

It'll be fixed next year, Essendon fielding their own team.

Nicho's back!

The bye is disappointing, the players in the reserves not so much. Lawrence doesn't appear up to it, but Nicho is there for game time, Williams is just starting out and Spencer is obviously returning from a long term injury. Let's hope they all play well.

Big win for the Scorps with all four MFC reps contributing!

Spencer!

The Spencil!

Also Nicho in best, Lawrence and Williams both with 3!

It's great to see MFC listed players playing well in a Mickey Mouse comp (2nds). There is hope yet.

If Kelvin Lawrence is any good, and I wouldn't have a clue whether he is or not, there is a huge space in the side waiting for him. If he can't force his way in this year he never will.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Good to see Lawrence and Williams with 3 each. One would think that if Lawrence can't push for senior selection in 2012 he'd be done at the MFC.

I agree. If there's any list you'd want to be on at the moment as a small, fast, crumbing forward trying to break into the seniors, it'd be ours.

In respect to the Senior players playing in a 'mickey mouse' competition, it can actually sometimes be harder for a forward as the delivery is often up and under.
