Benson, your ins are good, but run and carry will upset the Eagles

Couch and Magner are sloggers and slow, slow, slow. Even if they get elevated, you can't play those with Jordie, so tough decisions will have to be made at season's end.

Watts forward and stays there...I agree. Not a backman, now that he's been tagged. That's some solace that he can take away as opposition coaches respect his disposal efficiency.

Gillies - out. Not sure about this chap.

Bail, in....run, run, run.

Swing Nicho, 2 x Jones, 3 x Jacks, Sylvia, Garland, Jordie, Tapscott, Terlich, Howe, Davey and Byrnes. Burst them out for 10 minutes each - I want to see a record number of rotations. There are enough bloody coaches to sort this out.

Mitch to start in the ruck with Jamar forward, then swing around at the 15 minute mark.

Hey, it can't get worse, can it? :)

I've come back to this post Jumbo. I've got to disagree re Watts... the guy had games thrown at him like he was strapped to the handball wheel.

He hasn't shown ANYware Near enough intensity. & for me, he has run out of opportunities.

Its time for him to go, back to Casey for a months intensive VFL intensity... & to grow some.

We cannot have players who won't go in.

We can have Jordie Mac & Magner but no more as long as these 2 are a rotating pair. Magner can win his own footy in/under, where jordie is more a run with. We need ball magnets, or the closet to it.

Nicho imo was a big disappointment on Heppell. just as Wartts was on his opponent. Their Essendon opponents ran riot in the early part of the game. I'd have them both out.

Now that Casey has played and everything possible has been posted about the coach and admin, let's turn our attention to the players... IN: Tappy, Bail, Jetta, Gawn, Kent OUT: Sylvia, Gillies, Nicho

Keep Jamar in so I can make Cox my supercoach captain.

We are paying Rodan so much money, he has to be an IN. We need some experience on the team, and it isn't Rodan's fault. He is a personality, and a leader.

DL, I'm not a JW enthusiast by any stretch of the imagination, but until Dawes makes his debut, we need a tall forward.

Make him run around without worrying about someone's tail.

If you read the VFL review on the club website, the raves are for Tapscott and Bail. They will both come in..... Nothing is surer.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
