Sellar 50/50 for this week.

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

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.

[robbo24 66]

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

There is no Casey games for two weeks Harcourt.

But I know were you are coming from

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.

... and 50/50 to hold a single mark over the course of that game.

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

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,257]

Gee I'll be sweating on the availability of Seller this weekend.....

[Biffen 12,949]

Maybe not required.
