I wouldn't be dropping Salem tonatopia. For mine, with what little be did, e looks the goods.Depending on how Toumpas plays, I'd consider him or Blease for Byrnes. Edited by Return to Glory

I can't believe we just beat the Crows in Adelaide.

It's bloody unbelievable.

No negativity to any player this week please.

Fair call Ron.

PR,doesnt give games to reserve players unless warranted.

likes to stick with same 22 if possible.

learn how to defend a game together,and learn when and how to attack.

classic shutdown footy is a team thing and PR wont change things when everybody is sticking to the game plan.

macdonald is growing in confidence every game,lets not sweat on his mistakes yet.

Salem.may not have got big numbers but his pressure, tackling, bumping and shepherding was outstanding for a kid in his second game. I reckon he would have thrived had georgiou been subbed in the first instance.

Give him a full game.

I am amazed by the continual hope for Blease to get a game over player x. I think that horse is close to bolted and would take a mammoth turn around in the boy that I dont think he has in him.

Agreed. Has done nothing to speak of at Casey.

At the moment he is completely and utterly undeserving of a spot in the side, and as long as Brett Allison's reviews continue to say things like 'he needs to work on the defensive side of his game' he will remain undeserving.

Bit harsh on Frawley. He was injured. Presented.

Grimes : Gutsy & Great

Jetta : proving me and a few others wrong. Well done for persevering

JKH : Thought he was NAB /Foxtel flavour of the week. I was wrong !!!

Bail/Terlich/Dunn : Roman road builders (everything in a straight line)

Howe : Confidence returning

Watts : showed good heart and chased.Next step confidence return.

Coaching Staff : Patient & Progressive

Macca: Another dragon slain.

Dangerfield : dont need him ( he is good, though !!)

Jones/Dawes/Grimes : Leadership and courage

Viney: Learning from Cross

Cross: Great pickup because he plays with heart

Doesn't a win change attitude ???

Notice in last couple of weeks : no head dropping when things go awry.

Frawley - hampered early with injury, but gutsed it out and kept one of Crows best defenders busy

...and allowed us to keep the rotations going. Not his best day but he did his job under trying conditions...injury.

He now reminds me of Kane Tenace. Has the pace but could do little with it. Like you say - needs a mammoth turn around to retain his spot on the list.

I am surprised that some posters were unimpressed with Salem. The goal that he kicked when he was first substituted was inspiring! I am sure the Roos will select him again next week!

A la Blease I think we all live in hope, that is all. At least he was one of the picks from that abominable period where BP was calling the shots and he had an obvious weapon, that maybe BP actually saw, who knows. He is quick and gee do we ever need leg speed on the outside but unfortunately it seems Sam's brain will never catch up with his speed of body. And if after 5 years he is still learning to be defensive in the magoos well, let's just move on, which is a real shame.

I have watched him play in the VFL and he looks the goods but he so often wins the ball and unloads a spearing pass straight to the opposition. It is so frustrating.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
