Could also be poor coaching, especially if there's a lack of real support for the Roos style as has been rumored before...

Lets not go there again or give any credibility to an unsubstantiated rumour. Check through the threads again and there were others 3-4 posters who were in that huddle when the alleged comment was made and they were all a lot more adamant then the poster who made that inference.

I wouldn't think so, I can't see Jordie breaking into a midfield consisting of Jones, Vince, Viney and Tyson, then there are others well ahead of him.

McKenzie has found his level at VFL.

Come to think of it, it probably started when the new upgrade came through on the App over the last couple of days.

Hopefully they fix it asap cause along with Demonland its my AFL info life line so to speak.

Gametime, all internet delivery of (radio) commentary is through AFL.COM.AU

Instead of which three players?

Well I suppose it depends if you think Toumpas & Salem are going to cement themselves as best 22 by year's end.

And it also depends if you think Evans or Kent are better users of the footy than Matt Jones and whether that means they are better options long term.

Did Strauss play, or have I missed him being injured yet again?

If you have the AFL app, it blocks out SEN and Tunein whenever there's a game on

Yep understand that but even outside of game time SEN is not connecting, frequently getting the message of the server being down

No, but to his credit he isn't going back and sulking like some players in the past. He is getting good numbers and putting pressure on and more power to him.

Jordie has had to fight every step of the way to get into AFL football so I won't count him out just yet.

I'll always have time for Jordie McKenzie, because he always gives 100%. You can't ask for any more than that.

Cool thanks for letting me know. Was just about to call them.

Not sure about u P but for me as an interstater the SEN app is invaluable.

The sooner it gets working the better.

I agree, but The Age have done their best to make Welsh sound like a DH in this article:

http://m.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-improvement-lifts-spirits-says-forward-jack-fitzpatrick-20140518-zrgia.html

But Demons development coach Rohan Welsh, who is also the coach of the Scorpions, said there were far too many mistakes from the 13 Melbourne-listed players who played in the shock loss to the Lions at Coburg City Oval.

Youd want to hope that some of these blokes want to play senior footy but [if] they keep making mistakes like that ... every week they come with excuses why theyre not getting a game and [ask] 'why arent I getting picked', Welsh said.

You just have to watch the tape, the answers are all there right in front of you. I dont think theyve got a case to answer.

Welsh admitted later that Fitzpatrick worked pretty hard all day and Sam Blease, who had 23 touches, was all right in the first half.

Wasn't aware that Welsh is also the Demons development coach, implying that he is employed by MFC.

I'm not exactly sure of that arrangement, but I thought Welsh was Casey's appointee and theirs alone.

Some may say he was being harsh but fair, although I think it's a bit rich to put all the blame squarely on the MFC listed players and publicly putting words in their mouths.

I think we've seen with Roos, and a timely reminder in the form of Hafey's passing, that being a hardass DH might get you far, but chances are that supportive constructive feedback and encouragement will get you a lot further.

What were Welsh's credentials as a player again?

The guy is making himself sound like a goon. At the end of the day the standard of the VFL players is not good enough to have a winning team. Melbourne players may make mistakes, but our general list strength in my opinion is poor. Especially in key positions, this being said Hogan was responsible for a lot of goals last year

Funny how he smacks our players yet look who he names in the best.. all Melbourne players. Maybe his Casey players need to pull thdir fingers out and stop relying on our players to do all the hard work. Some of our young players are there to just develop their game.

Always said Welsh wasn't the right man for the job and got hounded down a couple of weeks ago.. Reeks of Neeld like qaulities with us public spray on our players.

good to see Michie get BOG

Im not as high on him a a lot of others here, but it early days and nobodys really seen much of him

A pocket radio is much cheaper than a smartphone and can't be blocked by the AFL. If you're in broadcast range.

At the end of the day, I think it's the exodus of senior talent from Casey that has hurt Casey, not the MFC-listed players.

Having talented kids straight out of the TAC cup system will see you compete for 3 quarters then drop away.

A couple of years into them, and it'll be a good side.

If they stay.

Maybe Welsh figures the MFC-listed players can handle a bit of criticism from him, moreso than the kids he has to get more out of and then hopefully keep longterm. He's on a hiding to nothing, but might be better off saying a lot less and not throwing anyone under the bus.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
