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.

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

According to Burgs & Slattery, Sylvia has a good work rate. What are they watching?

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

Was Pederson in Casey's best last week? If not how is he back?

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

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

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

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.

For anyone complaining about Blease being dropped, he had about 2 possessions last week.

Colin Sylvia & Sam Blease both had 7 possessions each against the bombers.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
