    Putting up a brick fence or tubular steel?

    ****pauses for bulk laughter at genius comment***

    In: Frawley and Jetts

    Out: Dawes and Salem

    I'm excited about Salem but would like him to go back and work on a full game and keep building his tank.

    I don't mind the idea of playing youth but right now I would rather best 22 each week no matter who it is. Toump was ok last week so he holds his spot.

    Salem will be our next "Gun" and deserves/demands a game! Toumpas only got in on Jetta's withdrawal. Still has much to learn. Salem is more advanced than Toumpas, therefore Salem stays and Toumpas goes!

    Also,

    Anyone else wanta play smart ar*@ with the

    FENCE out and associated garbage Rhetoric?

    Tell ya what, if ever there was a time for a break out game, Jack Watts, would love to see 25 quality touches, a few tackles and 3-4 goals and prove to be the difference in a massive upset,

    Winning this would be enormous for the confidence and culture of the group.

    We need to stop expecting that Jack Watts will have his 'break out game'. I simply want Jack to become a role player. He will impact games due to his excellent disposal and decision making, but the new MFC is 21 players, 21 roles.

    Watts has the talent to be a matchwinner, while i'm sure his role is to provide a target across half forward and use his great skills kicking it into the 50 and push into the midfield I feel he is also capable of kicking bags of goals and doing that at important times, I really see him settling into this position and growing.

    I think its a good opportunity to take it right up to them.
    They're coming off a rough game against hawthorn, those games aways knock teams about.
    just like geelong struggle after playing hawthorn.
    Where as we have had a week off.

    Dawes is a big out for us, but hopefully frawley comes back in and pederson, jamar and gawn can rotate in to the fifty.

    thats another area we can expose port - in the ruck.
    I didn't think jamar would come back so strong, but he is looking in top nic, lacks some fitness but his strength and tap work is great.

    working with gawn and peders will stretch port.

    our backs can handle their forwards.
    the only player in the forward that will need special attention is obviously wingard, I reckon we run jetta on him. Jetts is a great shut down player and he's very physical.
    It will be interesting to see if nev does get the job and if wingard can still be affective while getting harassed by jets.

    in the centre, monfries out is good for us. cross could run on a key mid, theres polec, grey, cornes? boak.

    jones will play a run with role on one.

    Was this the game that jones could miss with the birth of his child or was that later in the year?

    If so we would be in for a long game.

    I agree. But, personally, I'd much prefer to view him as a role player and it's this attitude that I have a problem with. It isn't about that anymore. It's about Jack playing his role and doing everything that is asked of him. The goals and influence on the game will follow.

    I don't think we're giving Port's forwardline enough respect or credit here. They are very dangerous. Wingard is unstoppable and Schultz is about the best full forward in the game right now. If we can keep them below 15 goals, that'd be a great effort.

    Plus the likes of Monries, Gray & Westoff floating throught there. They have some goalkicking mids as well

    If they get running they can certainly get the scoreboard spinning

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
