Well Ive just seen the Viney incident on Before the Game, looked worse than I remembered at the game, agreed Wojo is gone. Of the Demons players: Blease - great last half where his running to space

My observations from the game (watched from the 20 minute mark off the 1st quarter) Jack Viney will be a star for the club. It was a sickening collision in front of us well into the 4th quarter. Woul

At least they can both still run and lift weights for the majority of the time they are out.

Watts 20 disposals, 4 goals. Looks like he took being dropped in the right way, too good to languish in VFL, should be back in the seniors.

Next week:

IN: Watts & Jurrah (as sub)

OUT: Dunn & whoever doesn't play their role this week

I'd love to see Petterd, Blease and Bennel playing well back in the senior team, but want to see them playing consistently in the bests at Casey. All 3 have potential to be very good AFL players, but their deficiencies are holding them back. Let's hope these 3 develop and come on asap!

Another week (if Casey don't have a bye next week) wont do Watts any harm get some consistency into him and maybe just maybe make him realise after a few weeks out. When I get my chance again I am going to grab it. To early a call on Jurrah

I'd rather give Watts another week or 2 at Casey.

He really needs to earn his promotion to the senior team, moreso than others, in my book.

Why does he need to earn it MORESO THAN OTHERS? The players should all be judged equally. What draft pick or how you came onto our list is irrelevant.

Watts cops so much stick from the media, opposition supporters, and even our own it seems. It's downright ridiculous. He had a poor game last week, other than that he has been one of our best thus far this year. While that isn't saying much, he sure as [censored] didn't deserve to be dropped ahead of others. Today he played on the wing and picked up 20 touches and 4 goals. That's a great return. He should be playing at Melbourne next week and the remainder of the year. No point him sitting in the VFL and performing well. We get nothing out of it. If he isn't back in the team next week, then we can write off Neeld and the new coaching panel as fools. They've done a great job so far :(

Again, well done to Casey on their good win today. Great turn around from that horrible day last year. Shame about some of those injuries!

Interestingly, I thought that whether fair or not, the head was sacrosanct, and would be protected.

Head high contact, if reasonably avoided, results in suspensions.

It's that simple.

Or has the rule changed? Again?

The report on the AFL website described it as a "fair bump"...

http://www.afl.com.a...71/default.aspx

According to the powers that be, if it results in forceful contact to the head it is not fair. That is the justification for Trengove being outed for three weeks. The same principal should apply here. According to the article, Viney had just taken possession of the ball, so he had the option to tackle and chose not to. Everything the AFL has said regarding high contact in the last few years says he has to be reported and suspended.

For his own bloody good.

Because he needs to learn to be harder at the contested footy for his own development, and we need to set the bar higher for Watts than for other players.

You're obviously happy with him continuing to just coast along at that level, when he could be so much more.

I'm going by the report on this thread that says Wojinski laid him out with a bump.

Fair enough... the following was tweeted by MelbourneFC:

"On the Jack Viney bump, it appeared Wojo collected him in shoulder/head region. Looked hard but fair at time."

Sorry LT, I should have queried this as well. I agree that it's just wrong to impose different standards on players simply because of ones' own unrealistic expectations. As I've said on a few posts, I don't think we have a more talented (and I'm not even saying 'potentially talented') player than Jack Watts and his continued development is crucial for our future success. On the other hand, I think that in the absence of extreme circumstances, any dropped players have to earn their place back by demonstrating the required levels of consistency that the coaching group demands. Otherwise, it sts a poor example for the rest of the squad and at the end of the dat, the squad is everything.

Will be very interesting if there is some footage of the bump. I still can't fathom how that WC player got off from his hit on Sylvia in Pre-season last year.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
