Could be the opposite possibly... Maybe Neeld rates Gysberts and is giving him time to really find his form, while he's not sure about Bennell so he's giving him games to decide if he stays or not at years end?

You mean after 56 games, 5 this year and the FD still does not know.

He is in tomorrow because Davey is out there is no one else at present who is fit.

Well I hope that is the case.

How many 6 possession games does it take ?

Well I suppose his 4 kicks will actually go to someone.

Quite correct OD. Once again the sniff or innuendo of Watts having particular failings is raised simply because he is declared unfit. It is no wonder his ankles give up with the weight of BS he is con

Watts is even getting a hard time for being injured. FFS people, give it up already. Also, I can't express in words how much I wish this season was ending this week.

Jonesy!!!

Fairly surprised by some of the selctions this week.

I cannot believe that Bennell held his spot and that is without considering any other factors except l ast week'sgame itself. Add in the game Gysberts played for Casey and Bennell is a very lucky young man. It looks like Bennell has this coach's favour which in my opinion is totally undeserved.

I feel for Moloney. Unlike many others I thought his work as a sub was OK. It appears there is more to this story from inside the club but I really feel for this bloke.

Great to see Couch in.

Petterd hasn't earned his place back and I reckon it has more to do with other injuries than his form.

Boy our forward line looks weak.

He has hidden talent Maldon boy

And you know what they say about hidden talent!

Pretty sure Neeld wants to make up his own mind about our players ("clean slate" etc), and how they fit in with what he wants.

I didn't see this is what IS happening, but to me it would make sense as well as give a reason why a bunch of players have been kept in longer than their form has warranted sometimes.

Just think he's been pretty patient with guys like Gysbterts and Couch, while letting guys like Bennell, Morton, Moloney etc get more opportunities to win him over.

It's only my impression, take it or leave it, just looking for reasons... as always

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
