Give the players with question marks a run

Would like to see Bate, Sellar and Gysberts play out the season.

Tappy and Strauss are definites for next year would like to see fringe players given the chance to play for their spots.

 

We are playing plenty of blokes playing with a ? above their heads.

And not playing talented kids who are fit and looking for confidence and deserve a spot is not the answer.

Dunn, MacDonald, Bail, Spencer, Sellar, Jetta, and Couch played last week.

And Strauss is OOC and has hardly played...

Are you taling about experimenting now when we have so much to play for?

 

Bate has had enough chances in my opinion. Hasnt stepped up. Time to go

Tappy and Strauss in particular need game time to pick up some form after struggling with fitness/injuries recently. Why play the rubbish who Neeld probably knows won't be there next season?

Note. Sellar is not included in 'rubbish' as I think he deserves another contract.


Rolly, I think the idea is sound and we've seen it this year to varying extents. I'd like to see more of Gysberts too. I'd say that Bate is less a ? and more a ~ or x though. And either way, Neeld has surely made his mind up on Sellar.

It may be more entertaining to play Cook so that he can lap up the plaudits from his legion of fans from Demonland.

probably knows wont be there next year...

Tappy and strauss will have all preseason and all next year, would hate to see gysberts especially traded or delisted purely on fl form...some players play better in a better standard competition and a couple of games in a row might show this

When we finally do play Cook, someone needs to inform Jack Darling so he can log on and have his head inflated.

Don't deny Casey Reserves the chance to have a real life AFL listed player at FF!

Don't worry, Jamar will be there.


After 100 games there isn't a question mark above Bate. He is gone.

I would like to see Fitz play over in Perth

I think Bate's had plenty of opportunity. Sellar may get another year depending on whether or not we can bring in 1 or 2 KPP we're targeting. Gysberts....well, i'm a big believer that you need to earn your spot in the side. From all reports, he' s done OK at Casey, but his fitness isn't up to the standard that Neeld wants.... yet. Been named in the 25, but i don't think he's an automatic starter. big pre-season for Gys i think.

Tapscott & Strauss have done fairly well, and obviously both have had their injury issues in their short careers. I think it'd be wise to play them while they're up and running, because they're a big part of our future imo.

I reckon Neeld will have pretty much sorted out his questions marks by now.

Absolutely, the FD would have their list just about set. The only ??? are with the supporters.

I didn't like Gysberts being dropped after 1 game, however I think Bate can't keep going in and out, this preseason Neeld needs to find our best 22 to play in Round 1 and we need to stick with them. Enough swapping and switching, successful sides play their same 22 every week (barring injury and suspension) and stick with it. Watts, Garland, Frawley, Rivers, Grimes, Trengove, Sylvia, McKenzie, Clark, Howe, Jamar and Jurrah should be the core of this (although Jurrah has the complications)


Players with ??? at this point in the season, after such a stellar on field showing can start drinking now.

Files are already stamped.

Enough swapping and switching, successful sides play their same 22 every week (barring injury and suspension) and stick with it.

And we are successful??

And its a bit late for the dont keep dropping them argument when our injury list is long and we have 2 games to go.

Would like to see Bate, Sellar and Gysberts play out the season.

Tappy and Strauss are definites for next year would like to see fringe players given the chance to play for their spots.

When did Gysberts become a ? ??? He's only played around 20 games. What would have us consider cutting him at this stage?

Strauss was awful today. His injuries may give him a sympathy contract, but he's done nothing in his career to deserve it. He's slow, he's soft, he doesn't chase, doesn't position well, and doesn't attack particularly better than anyone else. I honestly can't work out what value he has and what he might add to our side.

Words need not be said about Spencer's game today.

Everyone knows how I feel about Dunn. I thought his finger-pointing was better today. Still useless when we don't have the ball. Wouldn't know a zone if it hit him in the face.

Sellar was good. MacDonald was average. Tapscott is a keeper, he adds value. Bail played much, much better today. If Dunn deserves a new contract, Bail clearly does.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
