Dean Terlich Jimmy?

    It would be consistent effort and performance they would be looking for.

    Im still backing Kent to be there round one, possibly Jetta and Evans.

    Davey was good today as was Tapscott who are also chances.

    What will be interesting is the big man selection,with Sellar putting his hand up today,and even Davis having a good game.

    Pederson has shown nothing as yet,but Clarks injury may see a Dawes,Sellar Pederson forward line,with the poorer of the three making way for Mitch when he is ready.

    Jimmy we won the clearances was that because of spencer or more our mids?

    "The control and tenacity under pressure in the back lines by Troy Davis, 20, drafted in 2010 at No.50 and yet to play an AFL game, was impressive, while Dean Kent, 19, added spark into the forward line." Now that is more like it Ashley

    Very pleasing stat and a good answer from the kid. Tappy also good . I hope the pressure is now on for spots.

    Pencil was ok thought they broke even in the rucks but I thought he used he body well blocking etc around the stoppages just needs to do a lot more around the ground

    Davis has always been a competitor, but his kicking is terrible. He won't be a starter until he can get that under control.

    He did well IMO. He's not the only bloke on our list with a few things to work on. Lynden Dunne is 25 and has had lots of time for example and perhaps there may be a bit of a contest for a spot coming up here. Only a practice game but you can only play against who they put before you.

    "It was this time last year that Sellar kicked five goals against Collingwood in Dubai and looked set for an outstanding season, but injuries dogged him and he never really lived up to that promise" Ashley Porter

    Err... don't remember that Ashley!

    I think it was a couple of years back when he was with Adelaide.

    Funniest thing about that is that the game (a NAB cup game) took place between Adelaide and the Pies in Dubai in 2008... and yes, Sellar did kick a few. Nice to see a journo in Ashley Porter who really takes the time to research their facts.

    "Are there flights from Melb to Renmark?? Probably is I suppose."

    ... and this is one of your gems, Ben?

    What do you mean? I said that. I have put Ben-Hur on ignore so there must have been something I have missed here.

    Pleased to see how Sellar stood up today (10 kicks, 5 handballs, 7 marks and 5 goals 1 point) but disappointed that Fitzpatrick did not feature. I suspect that he (Sellar) may emerge as the third tall instead of Pederson.

    Jimmy, Davey has been a shadow of his former self for the past few seasons. What did you see today? A few good passages? Back in the day he was everywhere and involved.

    Fitzy looked a little lost

    Hey Jimmy, thanks for your observations - much appreciated.

    I'm interested in our style of play today. Use of the corridor? Our 2nd and 3rd efforts and how fit did our blokes look in the last quarter?

    It didn't sound like we gave Port a lot of freedom to move the ball - was our defensive pressure good?

    The 5AA commentators gave heeps of praise to Davey and said that one of the goals he kicked was from an impossible position (local opinion).

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
