    Its sounds like Jetta is showing some good signs, but he needs more time, to ramp it up.

    Georgiou for mine too.

    Yes it seems that way, especially after Roos said he wasn't a big fan of playing first year players and I don't think Jetta has done any better than Georgiou.

    So Riley is on the LTI, but who else is likely to go on it? Clark? Dawes? Wonder how far off Jamar truly is from playing.

    The Cats put 3 on their's the other day, however they are in a good position to blood young rookies due to all the experience they have.

    Clearly we don't have the inside information on Mitch Clark and his current issues but if an assessment is made that they can't be satisfactorily resolved in the short term, then perhaps he should be put on the LTI in the hope that he will come back fit and refreshed for the second half of the season.

    In the meantime, this would allow Georgiou to be elevated in his place and reward in form Neville Jetta with a place in the team for round 1.

    As much as we would all like to see him fit and refreshed and playing, this is a team sport and we need to look at turning the situation to the team's advantage and give players like Georgiou and Jetta their opportunities.

    Wadr WJ theres ni hipe in hell that Clark currently presents as anything other than LTI (at best )

    Even doinf lazarus its be months before he could don a 1st's jumper now.

    Best to put him directly on the list and leave him be.

    so we have 2 vacancies now as I see it. It just is :(

    I'm assuming you agree with me then?

    I can see demonland going into meltdown when Jetta gets upgraded and takes JKH's spot in rd 1 as our crumber.

    Georgiou is the common sense upgrade to play as our 3rd key defender.

    WJ...you inferred an IF.. I suggest theres none. Otherwise. ..yes :)

    Not likely to happen on yesterday's form.

    Jetta was good as a small defender and JKH had an ordinary day. Mind you, it's hard to be a crumbing forward when all the play is in defence and your midfielders constantly pass the ball backwards to the opposite defensive flank or into the back pocket to a one on one or straight to an opposition forward.

    No inference at all. It's just that my auto-translate app isn't working and I was having trouble with the first half dozen words of your post but I did get the gist of it. :)

    Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise if there were two rookie elevations this week and the inclusions of Georgiou and Jetta will IMO prove to be more valuable additions to the team than many would think.

    Love me some Alexis Georgiou

    Cult figure in the making and will play round 1 for sure

    It will be really interesting when Garland is back, can Garland, Frawley, Mcdonald, Georgiou, Grimes, Terlich and Dunn all work together, or does a Garland or a Dunn potentially go forward?

    Mcdonald was also drafted as a CHF

  • Quote

    Pretty sure he was drafted as a versatile tall who could do either end.

    Exactly, we are light on for tall forwards but tall backs just now we are doing alright, i reckon Roosy would be considering that.

  • Quote

    Mcdonald cant kick

    But at least hes on the park :rolleyes:

  • Quote

    it will prob be georgiou. but I'm looking forward to seeing harmed develop, likeable type.

  • Quote

    Interesting call on McDonald. Reckon he could maybe play similar to Lachie Henderson and swing between the two

  • Quote

    McD up forward. Gimme some of what you guys are on

    I reckon Frawley, Garland and Georgiou can hold up as a solid backline, Mcdonald and Garland could interchange as the forward option, i believe both have the capacity to play either end

    Someone has got to kick our goals

    • 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.
