Seasoned Players

Featured Replies

Would just like to touch on players such as Moloney, Sylvia and Green, who coincidentally were all unfairly bagged, asked to leave etc. during the week on this forum.

There is a place for experience in this side. Moloney and Sylvia both showed plenty of passion tonight and I'd like to see them both in our team every week. They are both very skilled players, and how good was Sylvia's snap goal!! Hopefully Moloney stays at the club and Sylvia has a fantastic remainder of year.

And Look at Jared Rivers, he kept quiet for a couple of years but now, aged 27, he's had a fantastic year and looks as flawless as a defender as i've seen.

As for Green there has been talk of his retirement at the end of the year. One thing for sure is that I'm happier to see him on the field than not, he has been one of my few favourite players for many years and I hope there's good vibes between him and Neeld and Green himself can decide when he wants to head off (Ideally end of 2014-2015 i.m.o, still think there's more devleopment to come which he can lead in the next few years). We don't want another James McDonald or Russell Robertson situation either.

Our successful patch in 2010 saw the fruitation of younger players, when 30+ year olds Bruce and McDonald were getting tons of the ball and having an impact.

I still think Davey can provide something as a defensive forward, and Jamar is still going quite well and getting tons of hitouts.

So before you have a go at the older fellas, as easy targets they may be when we lose, just remember what they have done for the club and think about how all the games they have played can be of only a beneficial impact on the younger ones.

 

The way the senior players performed tonight is largely the way the senior players from other clubs perform every week. It's no coincidence our young guys all seemed much better tonight.

Only if they back it up. We have seen this many time's in the past only to be let down a week or two later. But boy did it feel good last night on national TV.

Hit the nail on the head

Saw a lot more from Beamer last night in the effort department. It made a difference

Beamer looked much better last night, Green not bad and I really hope he is treated fairly by the club and not forced out.

I also hope Sylvia plays well the rest of the year so that we can get something decent for him on the trade table - one win and a reasonable performance doesn't wash away years of bad attitude and lazy work rate, which will probably be back next week.

Moloney was excellent because he was put in a role that fitted his endurance levels. Sylvia played his role and showed glimpses of the attributes that will have high trade value at years end. Rivers has been good all year. Green's effort is there but the game has gone past him, hopefully he can see that at the end of the year.

Agree.

I think Neeld will make about 5-6 changes at years end, so some players will be leaving. But for now we can enjoy the win.

Green backing up after having to head to hospital couching up blood last week to put his head over the ball again a week later was a statement.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.
