You have got to be kidding me.....

Elaborate?

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

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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
