WHO ARE WE AGAIN?

Featured Replies

 

Not happy Watts is out as he was our best player last time we played them.

Blease as well.

Spewin Sellar is still in, i have zero confidence in his marking ability, and he is full forward.

Very happy, Jetta and Evans are in though.

Would also have preferred Spencer or Gawn to Jamar.

dumb dumb dumb (sigh)

next week outs: Neeld - that'll be a bit more like it!

 

Nothin like our #1 draft pick 5 years in playing ay Casey.

Well played BP, well played...

the pea hearts Jamar and Sylvia stay in the team while Watts and Blease dropped when they ar eboth 22 and developng..

you gotta be [censored] kidding me


Maybe we can upgrade Gillies groin to LTI and upgrade Magner...

Also how ironic Gillies is out with Groin... No balls in that area!!!

"Groin" I think is a polite euphemism for the shortcoming you mention

Stupid decision to leave Watts out. Makes me wonder anew about Neeld. I mean we are in a development phase. What is he trying to achieve, first by subbing him early then dropping him.

The more I think about this week's team the angrier I get - for a plethora of reasons.

 

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?

Astounded that people can complain about our performances, then defend Watts. He had a great off-season, but has been catastrophic in the 2 games he's played.

Blease also was abysmal last week.


Pathetic selection changes. But who cares. Won't make any difference so firetruck it. May as well select no-one.

Blease also was abysmal last week.

Not disagreeing with you, however, Sylvia has been horrendous for years now, and yet he remains in the side.

Agree with this totally. People have been bagging how Watts has played over the last few weeks including his dedication to getting the footy, then when he is dropped it's a bad decision. I think people are being oppositional for the sake of it now. It's a bit like your damned if you and damned if you don't! I don't think Watts has been in our best 22 over the last two games. We have to make spots competitive to keep and get!

Sylvias muscles probably bring more girls to the game so since neither do anything anyway hes the better option

While the Ins definitely look pretty average on paper, the one thing that you'll get from Bail and Evans is workrate and some run and spread. Happy to see Jetta in too. Watts and Blease need to find some form, and probably best to do that at Casey where they can get a bit of the ball. Would love to see Watts played on the ball or the wing.

I dont go for him... I go for the beards ;)

I knew Watts was going to be dropped as soon as he was the sub. Why be mad. The guy has had a bad 2 weeks and its for his own good. Remember this is his 5th season. He needs to lift. Also it will get the media off his back though it will be back on the club for dropping him.

Blease is one I just dont get. I love his pace but his ball use is shocking. Rodan either play him or dont. Dont drop him every second week.

Pedersen will be a different player I reckon. No more dropping the head.

Rapt to see evans back

people wouldnt be complaing if SYlvia was also dropped along with them

How the hell did he geta reprieve? I mean hes only had 10 seasons to actually do somehting

Very happy Watts is gone.

Very sad when I realise it makes no difference to how rubbish the side is.

Gillies never again please.


The team has far more balance on paper than previous weeks. One less key defender, and much more run. More midfielders with Trengove on the back flank, Jones on the forward flank, Evans on the wing, bail, Tapscott, toumpas all on the bench.

I like Sylvia named in the centre, make him play as a true midfielder. I think toumpas will be the substitute, bring his run and fresh legs so he can get near it, as he has struggled and really shouldnt be in the side.

Comment From Phil

How close was Sylvia to being dropped?

Hi Phil, Sylvia's stats do not reflect his work rate last week. We hope he will continue that work rate and be rewarded accordingly. Paul.

 

We are desperate for pace and we drop blease

We are desperate for pace and we drop blease

No, we're desperate for players who are going to work hard for 100 minutes.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
