You are joking?

What is this...... sugar coated Code?

Cale Morton - 26 disposals

Although Cale had a high number of possessions, he was not as influential on the game as we would expect of him.

The tea leavers would say "Most possesions uncontested" and again.... in last quarter when all was lost!

Won't sugar coat?? Bah!

As I stated in the WbeevScorps thread, he probably got half those possessions in the last when it was well and truly done and dusted.

Satterley is right in saying he wasn't influential at all. I could say that for every player in the Scorps side. They were beaten comprehensively all over.

Reading through Paul Satterly's Casey player reviews from the weekend (http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/140277/default.aspx), it doesn't look like we'll be seeing Gysbe

If you're looking for a much needed chuckle, have a read of the Changes thread on the Richmond board at BF. Alot of anger and frustration over Miller's performances with unanimous calls for him to be

Not necessarily stood up. But probably the best of the lot. See Scorps thread. Edit : My ins/outs: IN: Jamar, Jones, Davis (new), Fitzpatrick OUT: McDonald (inj), Spencer, Bail, Sellar (thigh)

Tigers in recent weeks have lost Vickery for the season, Grimes for a month, King for a month and Jackson to suspension for two weeks, so certainly have their own personnel issues right now.

For mine:

Out-McDonald, Bail, Tapscott

In-Cook, Morton, Gysberts

For every one good game Tapscott plays, he has 4 or 5 where he doesnt look like anything else but someone wanting to take an opposition player out. I still dont know where he will end up playing for us (if at all)...

Gysberts was off and on all day. Short of a gallop and clearly not ready.

Just goes to show with both Gysberts and Jack Viney how much a broken jaw can set you back. Same for Sylvia courtesy of Kennedy a couple of years ago. We know through reports that Jack shed nearly 8 kgs and was in a world of pain for a week after wodjinski went through him. He returned and admittedly was pretty rusty. So too Gysberts. Jordie Gys is a couple of weeks away IMO.

Thanks HT, I didnt see the Casey game this week and have only given a cursory glance to the match reviews, knowing there wasnt going to be many pleasant readings in there. Given Id say not many played well at all down at Werribbee, do we bring in a 'known' player, albeit with well spotlighted frailties such as a Petterd instead?

They won't drop Bail. Misson's injury report was interesting, very happy with how Bail played and came up after a few weeks off. He'll play. Talked about Jurrah also and seemed to suggest his ankle is ok but is getting fitness up and may not be far away (but of course that probably means 2-4)

Having not watched any of Casey all year it's a little hard to judge. But the one thing i will say is that how different the VFL is compared to the AFL. Totally different brand of football and sometimes players like magner etc can dominate as it's always a contested slog so players like Morton etc will struggle more.

Having said that I think we should be looking at next with our selections now, Bate should be gone, clearly not up to it. Tappy and Blease should play out the year as they are in the future best 22. Dunn is on edge but i think he has been ok the last couple of weeks.

In: Jamar Jones Cook Williams

Out: Spencer Bate Magner Mcdonald

I would put rivers and garland back down in defence now, we no they can go forward but are more valuble for us down back.

Bring in two players who were recruited to kick goals, Cook and Williams. Two prong attack like Franklin Roughead circa 2008. Will it work as well? Hell no but at least it gives our mids something to kick to and it also shows the supporters if we have some depth or not.

Some of the posters on this thread are really having a laugh.

Leigh Williams is a Rookie with 3 or 4 VFL games under his belt, from suburban footy, yes it would be wonderful to see but he would be killed

What is Magner doing wrong? He is playing the role Neeld wants him to, so is Bate, one is a defensive forward and the others job is to get the ball inside 50 which he did, it just didn't stay in there

Spot on satricon, Magner and Bate did their jobs on Sunday from what I could see.

If Rivers and Garland had played as well we would have been a lot closer that 10 goals at the end.

And you forgot to add that it is only 6 weeks ago that Leigh Williams was in a coma in Hospital.

Give the kid a break

Looks like Martin and Connors have been naughty for the tigers. What a shame both could be out.

In response to Demon Dave's comments.

Out-McDonald, Bail, Tapscott

In-Cook, Morton, Gysberts

If Morton gets a game it is certainly a retrograde step, you just cannot continue to play a bloke who refuses to man up, stands in no man's land in the Bermuda Triangle demanding the footy( always by himself) then when turnovers occur, as they inevitably do in this side his lack of correct positioning hurts you big time!

Nup, until Cale Morton learns to be inside as well as an outside player his worth in this team is highly questionable. And I don't believe for one minute he can change his style of play. Leave in magoos and look for suitable trade at seasons end IMV

I thought he was crap The only player with less possessions was Spenser but the alternative is Bennell so not really an alternative

I am never sure what Bail's role is in the team.

Does anyone?

i cant see Cook being anymore influential then Dunn at the moment. He needs more development time at Casey in my opinion.

Happy to be prooved wrong

You have my Vote olisik, I would go further and say he would be less influential

Wondering if Jamar and Jones will get through their "calf tests" this week.

Must have had a strenuous workout on the track last week, because they walked off after GWS unscathed. At least that appeared to be the case. Anyone have details on their respective injuries other than they face tests this week ?

Bate will play his 100th this weekend if he's named. Out of 9 games this season he's really only played well against the Dogs and the Giants.

Might find himself with the green vest this weekend.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
