Training - Wednesday 26th March, 2014

Featured Replies

If we dont have enough talls then work on a game plan using smalls and keeping the ball moving and low to the ground running the big fellows around. just need to be thinking abit more about how we play and not try to play the way we would if we have a decent tall and functioning forward line.

 

I did notice a couple that weren't wobbling.

Which side of the fence.

The Bulldogs had a fair bit of success with a small forward line for a while there. They made space, worked hard and let their small forwards lead out 1-1. We can try to do something similar.

 

howe was hobbling on sat too

I left the ground Saturday hobbling and distressed.

Watts reported as doubtful for this week

Where?

That's because someone mentioned he might play as a tall forward. I think we've made a Nobel prize winning discovery - tall forward injuries are highly contagious.

Watts will no doubt be listed now as 426. If we hear it's just a niggle, I won't expect to see him till preseason at best.

Are you sure you went to the right ground?


Another of your top notch sources..?

I think Jay Clark wrote an article on it last night but it was due to Watts not completing training and wearing a compression sock or something similar. My guess would be precaution as he apparently moved okay

wouldnt it be great if Watts was out injured after the best game of his life

Just our luck hey

OMG -- maybe list the fit ones rather than the injuries

While I seriously doubt he is AFL standard

That might be taking it a little too far.

Whilst I think OD underestimates his talents.

he definitely over estimates Pedos abilities

Yep he has calf problem. Old mans disease let's put him on the open market

Did only say he was doubtful. That's 50/50. We'll see

And Gawn gone also

Our trouble is Dee that we don't really have proven quality smalls/quicks at this point either. I like the strategy though. Just don't think we have those types of options who we know can be relied upon to deliver.

That's not to say we won't develop them going forward but it's not really a geniune option right now. I wish it was, particularly this week. Can't see how else we can beat the Weagles with a standard set up....not that anything is standard with the MFC line up right now. Barely a dangerous key position player available to pick.

Watts was limping in the 2nd half on Saturday night. Wouldn't be suprised if he's pulled up sore.

I think he got kicked on the lower leg by that muppet-esque hairdo guy from StK

  • 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.
