i just don't think they could have dropped all 3...considering our list

Morton and Davey will have to play bloody well to ever play in the seniors again.

These performances kill coaches before players....so Moloney is dam lucky.

Will he lift? Does he care enough....

    Must say I'm very surprised with morton getting dropped. Thought he was playing ok this year. Can anyone shed further light?

    There's way too much hate on our older players, seriously. It makes me wonder if we are only criticizing these guys cause they are older than 25. This time last year people were salivating over Sylvia and Moloney. I'll agree I haven't liked their efforts of late, but they have both had injury setbacks this year and I thought Moloney was good and tough against the Dogs and Saints.

    Why has hate on Davey respawned? He's been easily in our top 10 players this season and only a few weeks ago supporters were commending him on his defensive pressure. I have actually thought Davey's tried his heart out since he was dropped after round 1. His stats may not show it but I think he should be set in the side (I'm upset he was dropped)

    Morton's not hard enough, not fast enough, and not smart enough, that's why he's dropped

    He's doing what he has to, just getting by, making sure he doesn't get injured ... as he shops himself around to suitors.

    He's a Melbourne player in name only and can quite frankly get stuffed.

    I just don't get the connection between a player trying to "shop himself around" and not trying on the footy field; it is a bit like not tidying your house on the day of the auction - . Surely if he is trying to secure himself a higher contract at another club he should be playing out of his skin to impress other club's recruiters. He is not exactly hot property at the moment.

    And that is the biggest problem most of us have with Moloney. Seems to be too much of a front-runner, performing against lesser teams, yet when the blowtorch is applied, goes to water.

    Agreed re: Davey. It's a bit hard to get possessions in the forward pocket of this team at the moment.

    Davey will be back the the team playing alongside JW in the Half Backline and then hopefully we can get the ball all the way to the half forward line.

    I think Sylvia is being shielded from imo looks like his favourite position, ON THE BALL! I recko n he's played there once or twice in his 4 games so far. Unless he's still not 100% or Neeld sees Sylvia as HFF, then I believe this is whats causing his drop in form. He is a goal kicking on baller, when will Neeld realise!!!

    Davey decision was hard but needed to happen.

    Moloney looks like he's got one foot out the door. The captaincy decision killed his output.

    Couch must have done something wrong.

    or he is no where near as good as we think

    almost unanimously we all think he should have played by now, and the oppertunity has been there in spades

    am surprised nicholson got the nod before him (not that I am upset nicholson is getting a go, and hope he has a great game)

    does anyone know if couch insulted Neelds mother or something?

    of those here who have seen him play for casey, do you have an idea what is keeping him back from senior selection??

    Let him keep playing in a winning team. I like it.

    I suppose someone in the team needs to know what that feels like

    Exactly. No point in him learning from our current midfielders. Let him play a full season at Casey including finals.

    Works for me.

    I understand what you're saying but once someone has already made their mind up to leave a strong sense of self-preservation is also likely to kick in. Brent is coming out of contract and has, at best, one 2-3 year playing contract left him. If he gets a long-term injury this year, that may well be it for him. I'm just speculating here but he way well have also fielded inquiries from several rival clubs. All this, along with a bit of a sook at having been ejected from the LG, has not made for a happy player IMO and this has been evidenced by his on-field performances this year.

    It's interesting that he wasn't dropped this week. Perhaps he and Neeld have had words about his situation. Let's hope he can turn it around for himself and for the MFC.

    Moloney looks like he's got one foot out the door. The captaincy decision killed his output.

    Let's get it right. Moloney killed his own output. Not the captaincy decision.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
