Six to Tappy as the lead goes out to 40 points!

May I ask what role/position tappy is playing.

I really want tappy to be molded into a chappy role (high forward/mid)

How does he look?

Agreed but the fact is Gawn is not ready and Neeld would be a fool to bring him in after 1 VFL game in 2 years

Don't think we have any other choice . The Russian wont play next week as he lost every tap .

I think he's always been groomed for that sort of role. It looks as if he's been given plenty of licence today because he's been getting kicks in midfield and up forward.

Thanks KC enjoy the game!

This is probably the single shed of light we have had so far this season

Jamar did not lose every tap... His problem is that the taps, generally, don't find our midfield and that he doesn't contribute enough around the ground or up forward.

Didn't get his hands on too many last night 'wayne', but agree with the rest.

But he was only getting taps when Ryder miss timed his jump. Ryder was always half a body length higher than Jamar.

His problem is that the top ruckmen contribute around the ground and Jamar contributes very little and that will never change.

Jamar just did not use his body on ryder allowed him to jump into him and use him as a step ladder to get the taps, those that Jamar got went to his feet, I was surprised at the number of times melbourne players behind him were clear, so obviously no talking to him to let him know where it should go.

There was not much he could do - you can't just tunnel the opposition ruckman and at stoppages there is that new contact rule that favors vertical leapers. If I was Neeld I would have just said go man on man if you can get the ball good but if you can't you don't let your man get it!

Jamar had donuts in the kicks column last night. Zero kicks. Its time to make a statement give Spencer and/or Gawn a run (get rid of Sellar and play 2 ruckmen against Cox).

Bit disappointing that our top 3 posession getters are all rookie listed so cant play next week. Thanks for the updates as always KC!

Atleast the top goal kicker can.

Looks like Tappy will get another go. It looks like the game may be about to pass Jamar by - and he is contracted for next year as well. If he digs deep we may see some improvement in his play from here on. Gawn will need a good 5 or 6 VFLgames before being ready. We would have to have the worst performing midfield ever? Pity we cannot bring Magner in. Toumpas needs some time in the VFL to develop. When Dawes comes in we should give Watts a go as third tall up forward as he would attract the third best defender. This would free HAiowe up for more midfield time.

Not a real lot of midfield options at the moment!!

Gillies, Sellar or Jamar needs to take one for the team and go down with a fake LTI during the week so we can get Magner in to give our midfield half a chance.

Those 3 players should be banished from playing for the Dees until at least after the bye round.

Can you drop someone from the senior list to promote a rookie, or does he have to be injured.?

The situation is critical

I woud drop Sellar and Gillies for Magner and Couch

No unfortunately. We can upgrade a rookie mid season but for the first time ever we are cursing our full bill of health

Left at the end of the third. I'd say Tappy, Jetta and Spencer would be walk ups for next week. Kent might be a show as well. Gawn looks good but might need another run or two. Hogan really provides a lot of direction to the other forwards and is very unselfish. Probably could have had a couple more shots instead of laying off inside 50.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
