Just heard on 3aw James is out for 4 weeks. Im guessing with the bye he will miss only 3 games. But geez he is going to be a massive loss next week with Cloke and Lynch up there. Lynch not as much but he would have been great on Cloke.

Bloody hell. Is there any chance our good players can stay on the park.

    Most last year probably would have said Frawley, Clark, Grimes and T-Mac were in our top 5 players with Jones. There's alot of truth in its not the number of injuries but who they're to. Would nice at least at some stage in the second half of the year to get our best 18 on the park together.

    Bloody hell..........it is all Neeld's fault of course, surely. Or Jack Watts.

    Surely a dual conspiracy!

    It would be interesting to hear the views of posters on how they suggest we try to deal with Cloke next week. What can we do?

    It would be especially good to see the suggestions from anti-Neeld posters who will probably blame Neeld for forgetting to clone Frawley when Cloke kicks 10 goals.

    So options?

    McDonald - underdone and out of form

    Sellar - can match Cloke one-on-one but will killed if he goes for a run

    Davis - we haven't seen him yet but you'd think Cloke will be to strong

  • Quote

    I love Davis' effort from the couple Casey games I have seen but this match up will be some-what reminiscent of Zac Dawson playing on Ant Rocca... we all remember how that ended up.

    Cloke is a beast and can chop up the best when he gets his mojo up. He man handles Chip at times.

    I don't mind Sellar as he is a tryer but that's really it. Still he is our only option and I squirm while writing that

    And the good news keeps coming

    DemonOX that is one of the more disturbing avatars, it's freaks me out a little.

    I suppose that's the reward for doing a steller job on buddy. Sucks that he'll be missing for games that we'd classify as in the winnable zone. Not to mention Cloke next week.

    Gorgoroth, I have never been a good looking rooster so no point in hiding it!

    It is what it is!

    Options for mine are:

    Garland: Our most in form defender. but has shown when matched up against Kennedy in Round 3 that he struggles against the giant forwards.

    Sellar: Will get burned when Cloke gets on his bike

    Pedersen: Probably gets first crack. Has the height, build and agility to do it. Skill level is the question?

    Davis: Would be setting the poor kid up to fail.

    Tom McDonald: You'd think would require a week at Casey.

    Joel MacDonald:Towled Cloke up in Round 2, 2010 and certainly has the agility and physical agression to go with Cloke. Due to the size difference though you'd need to heavily rely on the like of Garland & Dunn to peel off their men and help Joel out. I reckon he would be worth a look.

    If rumours are to be believed, we may have to learn to play without him there.

    This is an opportunity for someone to put their hsnd up and demonstrate that they're the man for the job.

    Oh well - one can dream

    They should use this month of free time to convince him to sign a contract extension and stop him leaving under free agency next year.

    • 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.
