I don't understand all the love for Bail. He's quick. That's about it.

He's also tough, goes both ways (can be a tagger when needed), has a great long sweeping handpass at his disposal, and is a smart player. The only concern is his kicking, but it's not too bad.

Not happy with the final team. Davey and Joel Mac in the side, Blease and Davis as emergencies. We have two older players who are very limited in what they can do getting a game over two young players with the potential to be far more. On top of that, when will we have a better opportunity to debut Davis? Surely this is a game where he will be reasonably comfortable with his ability to hold his own with whoever we play him on? A huge opportunity thrown away here.

Rather than tanking as some have suggested, the final squad is about using our maturity and experience over their obvious lack thereof.

If you read today's Age interview with Neeld, it's clear he sees a fit Davey as a big part of the future. In the interview he says Davey's series of three interrupted preseasons has eroded his fitness level and this year is about rebuilding it.

Final Side - In: Bail, Bate, Davey, Macdonald. Out: Green, Tapscott, Blease, Morton,

With those ins, you could be excused for thinking we are going for an almighty tank this week.

Agreed i though we had seen the last of Davey Bate worth a go in the wet Bail hasnt gone on with it showed promise butchers the ball under pressure slow thinker

McDonald shouldnt be dropped until some one with more skills who gives 100% is available

DIGGING DEEP by Whispering Jack

...

What puzzles me is the GWS decision to omit Chad Cornes who routinely stars against Melbourne and whose form this year had been widely acknowledged as one of the reasons why his team has been so competitive. Last week he had 23 touches against Richmond and whilst not as prolific against Geelong in the game before that, his contribution was significant. In his team's only win this year, Cornes had 28 possessions, took 12 marks and was easily best on the ground. It's hard to believe that he's been rested for this game on this ground and in the heavy conditions anticipated for Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if this was yet another Sheedy ploy and a late change will see Cornes running out for the game.

Good get.

I couldn't believe my ears even I heard that Cornes was being rested and I agree this is your typical Kevin Sheedy shifty move.

If he doesn't play then it's probably due to an injury that GWS doesn't want to disclose.

This is a disappointing post about a player that brought a great deal to the club from 2004 to 2010.

Davey has been a great player for the MFC show some respect.

The disappointing aspect is that Davey has earned this criticism over the last couple of years.

Not certain what you are saying? How could you possibly think this is earned?:

RPFC are you watching ?

you reckon Davey deserves a game As I said Im not belittling his contribution to the club over the years

At this point he gives zero

I hope he is subbed for Blease very soon

I cannot believe that anybody reckons he is up to standard absolutely no impact

This post is a good lesson for people:

Wait for the game to finish before you use it as evidence for your preconceived notions...

Davey is a proud Demon who has been terribly out of form but is fighting to give what he can.

Watched the whole game didnt change my mind just get rid of him totally useless

Again a good example to us all to seek the evidence and act

keeping serial underperformers week in week out is how the MFC arrived at the bottom and some people just seem to think that is ok

Bailey used to pat this guy on the bum after pityfull performances no wonder he cant play the game when it gets hard

Doesnt actually think he has to in my opinion and the footy department has done him no favours my accepting weak perfomances

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.
