James Sellar - good pickup

Bang Bang Bang
in Melbourne Demons

I still think he will be touch and go in October...

It would be great to be an AFL player for 11 months of the year but you'd better get some anxiety pills in October.

    Yeah, I agree he's borderline depending on what success we have picking up FA's Trades Mature players etc

    I think he just scrapes in for a second year. Could be worthwhile as a role/depth player in the short term

    i'd keep Dunn & MacDonald before holding onto Sellar tbh, not really the same positions though.

    If the FD think Fitzy and Cook & Davis are going to make it James might be in trouble because we can only hold onto so many talls on our list for so long?

    all good points but to be honest i'm not too fussed either way

    i'm more concerned about the other side of the coin and whether they can get enough quality replacements

    it looks to me that quality picks in FA will be very scarce

    If they could get reasonable quality i wouldn't complain if they turned over 20 players lol

    of course it won't happen

    He will, he performs a role and as long as he does he will stay on the list.

    I have no doubt they'll keep him. I reckon he has shown a great work ethic and i suspect Neeld places a very high emphasis on this

  • Quote

    In pre season training he was taking marks against Clark, Frawley & Jamar.

    I think he is capable but needs plenty of confidence to succeed.

    He makes me nervous when the ball goes his way. Just like Warnock did. He is not a good contested mark and drops his fair share of uncontested marks.

    If he could mark like Harry Taylor he would have a long term career at MFC.

    Sadly, I can't see him being anymore than a bit player.

    At the very least, he helps out with our tall versatility atmo,,, & there may, be more to come, or there may not be...

    I tend to agree, although i think he's shown a bit which would be frustrating for him

    I hope so. He's essentially our utility KPP - plays down back, then forward, then ruck - all reasonably effectively, and within the one game.

    He seems to have a decent character about him as well. In short, a very good pick up in the 50s.

    Whilst he needs to hold more marks, he always provides a contest and, at least, brings the ball down for our non existent crumbers.

    Line ball retention if at all. A year at most. I could understand if they do cut him. He is fortunate that there are others who seem to have their cards already stamped.

  • Quote

    Definite keep for me. He costs little, is a good backup if others go past him, is average at his roles and provides that "bigger body" that so many moan about not having.

    If we are going to have big body players but lose sellar we then cannot get rid of all our older blokes. I'd prefer Seller to Bate, Rivers, Green (and Martin if it comes to it).

    Keep, I see many similarities to Leigh brown at Collingwood, will surprise us all I think

    Leigh Brown could take a good mark. Who know he might come up. We do need another Spalding, Ingerson or Icke type. Rivers has played the role for some years now. he needs help.

    Can't take a contested mark to save himself.

    How's that comment working out for ya today champ?

    Thats like saying Strauss has great awareness.

  • Quote

    He is halfway there. He has enough confidence to go hard when off the ground. Just needs perhaps a little more composure once he is in the air. I reckon the coaching staff will punt that they can teach him that. And on that basis, they will extend him an offer.

    Agree with all above, he also seems like a good honest bloke.

    4 very good one grabe contested marks in the first half tonight.

    Now to work on his set-shooting.

    Definite keeper.

    Sellar: Can't kick for nuts.

    Strauss is supposed to be the best kick in the team but only hanballs into trouble.

    Trengove only handballs into trouble, he doesn't kick

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
