DeeSpencer

Recommended Posts

We need pace and skill .

OUTS ;Byrnes ,Pederson,Clisby,Davey,Kent

INS: Rodan,Jetta,Garland,Strauss,Terlich.(if injury permits)

No point playing my first two outs ever again.These guys are both too slow.

Clisby is tiny and Davey is not having a full dip.

Just watching GWS, Dylan Shiel had the ball in the back pocket and went straight into fifth gear, arched his back and ran away. Melbourne players tend to stop, look around and then run. By running straight away he is giving himself space and more time to dispose of the ball and make the right decision.

Dont get me started on pederson, the bloke is that unfit and fat, he is not afl standard.

Kent + Clisby need a rest.

Davey had an off day as did much of the team.

I love Tappy but [censored], cut some kilos and get some miles into his legs!

Coming in, I want magner in, i have been questioning why he's not playing all year,

I want couch given another go, he should be elevated - he and magner destroy vfl. often 30+ disposal, 5+ tackles, leading in clearance and hard ball gets.

Is that niot what we are needing? apart from the obvious need of an additional classy mature mid or two

garland to come in if fit, if not give davis a go cause the big pedo was horrendous.

Terlich comes in if alls well.

I'd put Chip away for the year.

Hammy problems on three separate occasions this year.

Rest Nate Jones.

Several boys from Casey need to play 4 or 5 games before the year is out.

Are you suggesting we should perhaps not play our best side at this late stage of the year?

It would be worthwhile for those who want to consider next week's team, it's worth noting the best players at Casey today.

Hogan Magner Strauss Taggert Panozza Jetta

Obviously, Jesse Hogan's not eligible and nor is Casey skipper Evan Panozza but the other four mentioned in the panel above are worth giving a try. One other who might be a chance is Josh Tynan who's improved during the season and who has a dip.

Blease also covers both of those aspects, so how does he avoid being dropped?

OUT- Blease, Davey, Pederson, Byrnes

IN- Rodan, Jetta, Strauss, Magner

Blease just gives us the odd vague hope of scoring a goal, which is nice in a game sometimes.

Sadly, I think you're right on the button about Aaron. His days are numbered.

Cooked!! He should be told that he won't get a Tackle stat for slapping someone on the bottie.

I double check the rule every week, just to make extra sure Hogan can't play. Sadly they seem to remain static.

Agreed except for Jetta, he has neither pace nor skill.

IN: Taggert, Tynan, Davis, Jetta, Spencer, Strauss

OUT: Who cares

Make or break for spots on our list.

Spot on its make or brake for some players to many list cloggers and it's time to see who can play and want to play for the jumper

Not that I really give a [censored] about this season anymore, but if I see Dunn and Pedersen in the team next week, I will officially go off the rails and lose it.

Two of the most pathetic, extrodinary poor footballers going around. Dunn has been screwing us for years, and Pedersen is just an enormous facepalm moment from our dearly departed Neeld. Horrendous.

Time to bring in those who have been serving time in the VFL and find out if they are worth retaining. If we don't do it now, we will never know.

Davis, Strauss, Jetta, just bring them in and let them play. They can't possibly do worse than lose by 120 points!

P.S.- NO GILLIES!

totally agree about Dunn and Pederson, absolute crap players and should never play senior football again.........

No way in hell do we drop Dunn after that game, he was close to BOG for us today (not that that says much after a showing like that). He had one disastrous clanger wehn he went across goal and hit a North player on the chest, but aside from that his field kicking was very good today and he smashed his opponent.

Pedersen has to go. I don't care if we need to pay him out on his three year contract, he is a disgrace. Didn't win a 1-1 once today, was consistently led to the ball and I'm pretty sure he didn't nail a spoil all game either. 13 uncontested possessions and 10 uncontested marks sun him up as a player. Happy to take the freebies but can't contest.

Davey had the defensive impact of a wet feather. He floated around in space while his man ran away and created overlaps all day. Created nothing, didn't give us anything in attack or defence. Inexcusable for a senior player.

We can also pick and choose between a number of players who refused to put their body into the contests today and/or tried to float around the outside while someone else did the work. Watts, Howe. Davey (again), Blease and M Jones were all guilty. Watts at least pulled his finger out as the game went on. The others not so much.

Outs: Pedersen, Davey, Kent, ?

Ins: Davis, Strauss, Garland, Terlich

Taggert would be a great pick as emergency and half a chance to come in. He's performed well for a few weeks although dominating the Casey reserves doesn't really count. I'm just not sure we can fit him in given who is due to come back.

A little harsh on Kent, but he needs to get his mojo back. Seems to have lost a bit of zip and confidence.

Out- Trengove, Toumpas, Kent, Dunn, Byrnes, Pedersen, Tapscott

In- McKenzie, Magner, Jetta, Nicholson, Garland, Terlich, Taggert.

Trengove's time is up, no matter what he does behind closed doors or what honours he has. I'm not wanting Toumpas in the team until he becomes something more than a skinny kid who has been brainwashed into playing footy a certain way. I'd rather not see Byrnes or Pedersen in Melbourne colours. I'm sick of Dunn. Plenty of the ins I mentioned have played decent footy. And unearthing Taggert will at least keep people interested and it's about time another guy debuted

Saw Casey, think Magner could make a difference at AFL level. No sure about see anyone else in that team who is eligible could. Not to say Taggert and co do not deserve a chance. Spencer threatens, was complaining about an injury though.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
