WHO ARE WE AGAIN?

Recommended Posts

I actually don't mind the "Ins". At the moment we have no run - Bail, Evans and Jetta can help there (ever so slightly). Tapscott was a monty after 6 goals in VFL, and Pederson is miles better than Gillies (then again that's not saying much).

Watts is a pea heart and career officially at the crossroads. Disappointed Jamar stays. Blease very stiff.

So Sylvia has stuck his GPS on the back of Vineys!

Benson you just fixed my humour bypass, me and lovely lady sitting on couch reading this and live chat trying to figure as well.....then u spoilt it with Pedersen, he went back with flight at least 3 times last weekend, he has got the message Edited by Satyriconhome

Top, top answer, I think that is the selection criteria for this week, apart from Gawn all ins the best at Casey last week

I agree Satriconhome

Gawn really needs more time at Casey before we throw him to the wolves as you suggest.

Never thought I would see the day I was happy to see Bail in the team.

In the past at least he has the ability to get the ball something sorely missing the last two weeks

He was supposedly solid in defence.. Only ducked 12 times!

Craig made the point that he took a couple of marks backing into packs.

Pedersen has shown he can play, and showed it again last week, albeit at a lower level. We can but hope that that transfers to the big stage.

IN: Rohan Bail (Clean Shaven), Luke Tapscott (Stubble, but not a "Kelly"), Neville Jetta (CS), Cam Pedersen (CS), Michael Evans (CS)
OUT: Tom Gillies (big Kelly Job), David Rodan (CS, but), Sam Blease (CS), Jack Watts (huge Kelly unit) , Daniel Nicholson
(Stubbly)

There's still quite a bit of stubble about but the Infamous Aussie Bushranger Look has gone.

I can only see one ruckman in that team but yes he is useless

I don't see a ruckman, I see a statue.

Cox will dominate like you wouldn't believe.

I am considering putting him in as Captain in my DT.

Not quite, GA will absolutely have a field day against the lions on current form.

The live chat thing on the mfc website never works for me (doesn't show my posts). Could someone ask how far off Strauss is?

I hope all the outs feel hurt. Hurt that they dont get to make amends after one of the worst defeats in the history of the game. Accept you were part of it, you cant change that but you can change the future.

Have you considered that being dropped from the senior team may not be the worst thing that happens to a MFC player at present?

Yeah I get your point. A bit like winning the last federal election. That said I hope it hurts that they were dropped from one of the worst performing teams in the history of the game.

you lot really do amaze me.. nothing but Watts sledging, then he gets dropped and everyone is critical of the selection.

He has obviously been asked to achieve something on field.. getting 2 kicks was obviously not that thing. I feel there is a hint of a statement in Neeld - the statement is 'yeah we're going bad but what can I do when these so called elite performers are simoly not having a crack'

I for one am happy every time I see an underperforming player actually get disciplined at this club, we have had players coasting with impunity for the better part of 15 years. The next trick is making sure he doesn't just automatically stroll back in next week. I want three performances that prove he is a cut above VFL, then he can come back.

As others have mentioned though, Sylvia should be gone, as should Jamar, who I hold personally responsible for about 80 points scored against us last week.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
