Elaborate?

Don't think he has played well enough to hold his spot....

VERSATILE tall James Sellar faces a fitness test this week after missing last Friday night’s loss to Hawthorn with a calf injury.

Sellar has played five matches for the Demons, from rounds two to six, this season after crossing from Adelaide via last year’s NAB AFL Draft.


I'm going to assume they mean 50/50 to play for Casey.

There is no Casey games for two weeks Harcourt.

But I know were you are coming from

Is it just me or have we yet to see the best 22 available players selected for a match?

Unfortunately robbo24 I don't think it would have made a hugh difference.

 

It's a tough one, he was absolutely useless against the cats (albeit playing against one of the greatest defenders in the game) and poor against the saints. I didn't think he played well v dogs as well, but I also feel that Fitzy just isn't ready.

His role in the team is To be a chop out ruck man and a second forward. As a ruck he's serviceable, as a forward he hasn't done squat. I'd be happy for them to leave him out one more week if he's 50/50 fitness wise and give Fitzy another crack.

Stef will likely overtake them both when he's fit.

I forgot about Casey's bye, damn they actually do mean MFC. To say I've been underwhelmed by Sellar is a big understatement. I'm surprised we even considered him to be honest. He couldn't get a game under Neil Craig yet we somehow see fit to bring him to Melbourne where he's been equally as bad. I really hope the Stefan Martin Experience can get back asap (even though he has been fairly useless this year as well). I would persist with Fitzy if I had to choose between Sellar and Fitzy though.

100% agreement

PS not sure if you missed it but there is no Casy seniors game for 2 weeks.

So anyone dropped at present has 2 weeks to cool their heels.

Fitzy would have to improve 1000% just to be serviceable, he needs a couple more years at Casey.

melbourne's long list of failed talls doesnt bode well for these guys.

Sellar has at least been drawing defenders for some reason - why ill never know since his hands seem covered in oil but he has been double teamed quite a lot.

Fitz looked lost. And Ive gone off Stef as he really only had one quality season and this season has gone back to all his old problems.

He's been injured hasn't he? I've been looking for his name just about every week at Casey and never seen it. He gets back in the side all of a sudden we've got a top ruckman and one that last year showed he could more than hold his own. He can take a mark, the biggest issue for me is he thinks he can go for a run and deliver the ball well. Keep it simple and I think he'll be ok.

I think Sellar has a bit of ability but just hasn't been able to produce it, of course he isn't an orphan in that regard, is he?

He has been able to get his hands on the ball but just can't stick it; the fact that he gets his hands there shows he can find the ball and if he can hold a few he could be an asset.

I'm hearing you, but he has no defensive game - Stef must learn this part of his game to get a gig in the ones.

of course he does robbie but the alternatives (sellar/martin) are in the same boat

we may as well give fitzy another game to see if he has anything. at least he has been playing well at casey

we have a major problem at the moment in that we don't have 22 players who 'deserve' a game based on form

Well I just got the teams in and neither are in Green Jurrah Watts and Blease in bail Petterd Bate and Fitz are out


Maybe not required.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
