he clearly pulled out of a marking contest in the middle of the ground, last qtr, as we cleared from defence.. it was a bad kick to him, but had he kept pushing at full speed he would have marked it just as the GC bloke got there, instead he reduced his speed for the last metre or so and just got one hand on it, did not want to take the hit clear as day

    him and Bail are both terrible and would not get a game at any other club

    That was a disgusting effort. He was in the box seat to take that mark. That sealed his fate in my mind.

    Not worthy of a place on this list. This is another example of poor judgement by Neeld.

    I agree he's not worth it, but how exactly is that Neeld's fault?

    1. Fumbles as always

    2. Clear soft effort in the last quarter

    3. Horrible disposal - Kent centred it to him nicely at one stage and he ran free through the middle of the ground and kicked it way past Howe

    4. Can't defend to save himself. Despite all the speed in the world he gets turned around time and time again.

    No doubt he has fitness and speed to find the ball but if you can't defend or kick it's not worth it. Neeld realised this when he arrived at the club and trialled him forward. It's about time they go back to that plan because he couldn't be worse than Bail.

    Yeah not exactly Neeld's fault but why play him if blind freddy can tell he'll never make it. Clisby looks a nice type for Casey could've got him on the main list maybe. But Jetta was available to play today and he does a lot of things Nicholson doesn't. Might not run as hard but that's about it.

    To be honest, who on here rated Nicholson as a defender? He doesn't seem to have a feel for football, just another BP 'special'.

    Why the current FD rate him as a defender above Jetta, I'll never know. At least Jetta is a footballer, not an athlete!

    agreed. Nicho heard footsteps and shirked the contest.

    delist ...

    • 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.
