What's all this love for Martin???? Hasn't played for 3 weeks and was insipid when he did....Also waving at the camera when your team is getting thrashed was not a good look

You have absolutely no idea. Martin has had a hip injury all year. Has played one game back against box hill two weeks ago. Do people just forget at the season he had last year ?? It's flabbergasting reading the utter garbage some profess to know. I couldn't give a crap if he waved to a tv camera ! Focusing on the issues here arnt we. Fact of the matter is there is more up side with having Martin in he 22. He move well, rucks well, marks and can go forward and kick a goal.

if martin has been injured all year then he shouldn't have played. and him waving to the camera is a bad look and sums up our bloody culture i dont care what anyone says! there is more upside when he is fully fit. not like this year where he has been totally useless.

I agree there no point playing him underdone.... My dig is at the people that seem to refer to him as a spud .... He goes alright when fit and he proved that when jamar went down last year. Sometime I just can't believe people's short term memories.

When is Trengove going to get the axe........? Whooops he's captain that would be politically incorrect

then leave Moloney in & maybe he can play skipper to stop his friggin sulking

Jamar has to be injured surely

I don't think Moloney and Jamar will be dropped. Neeld was making noises about Beamer trying hard, and he was. I don't know if Couch would be more value...

If they are dropped, I think that might be it for them at the Dees. Not saying that should keep them in, I am just putting it out there.

Trying or not trying, he's playing sheizen football and has been ineffective in all but a couple of games. The past two weeks he's been in our bottom 3 players.

I can't see how can stay in the side after these performances.

Exactly. We could be sending Julia Gillard out there each week, and she may be trying, but she may also just be NO GOOD.

Hasn't played for 3 or 4 weeks and you want to put him up against Ryder and Bellchambers....and I have no idea????I watched that game against Box Hill and he was ordinary....Is he your relative?????

I'd rather have Martin in the side than Sellar, even if he's not fully fit. He can sit up forward and stand there with one hand in the air while looking at the ground when the ball is coming in just as well and maybe even better than Sellar can. He is also a much better relief ruckman.

I'd rather see an unfit Martin go in and relieve Jamar against Ryder and Bellchambers than a fully fit Sellar ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

I don't see much difference between the two....

Dunn played well in 2010 and looked like he wasnt a spud .....

I enjoyed when he was running into goal 20m out and check sided it out on the full

from an acute angle and under pressure - tell the full story - got the curve on the ball but it turned way too early

We'd be running short of players...

Will that make much difference to the score line PaulRB.

A large number seem to be witches hats most weeks so does it matter which ones we use?

I can see her being a terrific goal sneak.

The Doggies would never stand for it anyway, they'd want first dibs. She certainly couldn't do any harm to the potency of their forwardline.

Oh wait, they beat us didn't they..

Should have run left and use his left foot.

Too much of a show pony.

Not enough skill.

Made me squirm

I assume you are speaking from experience and have done this quite a few times to the adulation of the thousands who were watching you do it....no pressure of course

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
