No, because i'm guessing he would have played under the same conditions whilst living in Fiji.

Only if he played in the under 3's.

Is the Fijian league a good league? Comparative to the NTFL.

Ok, so the meme above now relates to anyone talking about Rodan and Fiji.

Are you Spencils brother?He is really not in the mix.

Rest Howe-never.

Blease out?he is our best run and carry player.

MckEnzie is out because he cannot kick the ball to another Melbourne player.

I agree with you on Nicho because at the moment he is a three goal player-not for us.

Barry no.

Jetta yes-play him out to see if the glimpses were just that.

Biffo,

It's all about team balance and I reckon they will have realised after Geelong game that they erred in picking a dry-weather side, so they will probably correct it a bit with a bit more grunt - hence McKenzie and Viney. I'd prefer Magner to McKenzie but they don't seem inclined to go to Jimmy for some reason.

Dom Barry is a local Darwin boy and Aaron Davey is a god up there and this particular game is about promotion.

That's why Davey can't be dropped this week and Barry (at very least) will be emergency, but I suspect he'll actually be made the sub.

It doesn't worry me if Kent or Blease make room for Davey this week, because they both will be back in the following week after they've given Barry a taste.

If you saw the St Kilda game, you'll know Spencer is a monte to come in - the only decision is whether Fitzy or Gawn comes out.

As for Howey, I think he's everyone's favourite player, but I reckon he picked up injury a few weeks back against Pies (think he got heavy knock to abdomen area) and has lost a bit of his running ability as a result.

Hopefully he's right.

Jetta's had four season of glimpses and has had his chance - he's skilled but ultimately he's too slow and can't kick long enough to be dangerous.

So is Lucas Cook.

Also, Magner has been ineligible to be selected since Grimes was reinstated to the senior list

Hate to burst your bubble, Deespicable, but Gawn had nearly 50 hitouts last week and laid 7 tackles. He ain't coming out. Neither is the guy who has been a revelation the last few weeks and can actually play around the ground.


Whilst Spencer is now eligible, I can't see why we'd play him. Gawn is doing well at the moment, as is Fitzpatrick. Tough for Spencer who looked good in the St Kilda, but that's how it is.

Pedersen's playing good consistent VFL form, and maybe is worth a run over Dunn, who is a useless spud. But then we'd probably just be swapping spuds for spuds.

Yeah and for mine Dunn lifted his level from complete spud to intermediate spud last week so I'd say he's safe for now.

Although the players always lose a few kg's in Darwin so it might be the perfect match for Pedo.

Genius


I assume Dunn will be given the job on Rocky/Hanley as they rotate in the forward line so I dont think he will go.

I think Barry will play, had a good game in the 2's and we are going to Darwin.....Rodan got injured so without him having a run last week I would want to get him through a game in Casey to see him play a game to get recalled.

To be honest I am expecting Barry to go up as an emergency and be a late change to be the sub.

In: EMG: Barry, Viney, Pedersen

Out: EMG McKenzie, Rodan, Pedersen

out - Dunn, Nicho

in - Viney, Davis

Watch the 60 metre goal that Billie Smedts kicked last week to see why Lynden Dunn has no place in this team, or even at Casey. He is absolutely clueless, has no idea about positioning and cant even read a simple play.

The biggest spud in the AFL.

I thought Davis got injured in the VFL.

I have to agree with this, Dunn has no idea. I'm not a fan of Nicho but he seems to run to the right positions and have the ability to carry the football, just a shame he can't kick.

Strauss needs to come in, give him 5 games to show if he can play. The other reason is Strauss is more defensive than Clisby, Terlich and Dunn, if Strauss can lock down the most offensive small/Mid Forward, Clisby and Terlich can attack and we know Strauss is effectinve if he gest the footy.

Viney shouldn't come in, no reason to rush him back, another game at Casey will benefit him more than playing in Darwin.

Dawson Simpson got 55 hitouts. They broke even.Gawn is not a lock. Might bevworth using Spencer instead of Gawn as Spencer covers the ground better and the humidity will sap the energy from the players.

You mean worse than Gillies, and Pedersen

Come on!

All true. Just for the record his Geelong opponent had more hit outs >55. Thanks to all the stoppages in the wet.

No way, when was the last time he was in the top 10 players in a MFC side?

Remember this a side that cannot beat time with a stick.

He is not trying to bust into Hawthorn or Geelong's line up.

The main reason we are so poor is we have poor players, Strauss is right up there in the "Not Good enough catagory"

Mind you he has a lot of mates, stays at Casey IMO

You know he's been playing forward yeah? You do also know we had the lowest inside 50s count on the weekend since the stat was recorded?

Just saying.

exactly, no-one in the forward line touched it

  • 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.
