Why are the reserves so …...

Featured Replies

Why are the reserves so bad,with 12 afl listed players they cannot beat sides that have no afl listed players.Perhaps they have a mindset which causes them to be under achievers,previous coach Neeld didn't help anyone and the lack of

opportunity in the seniors this year and perhaps the coaching is not up to scratch. I watch the reserves play 3 times this year,they don't seem to play like the seniors,matter of fact they seem disinterested,these young people deserve to be given

a go in the seniors regardless of their form in the reserves because it will help their self esteem,confidence and they will see light at the end of tunnel. Troy Davis a non afl player previously listed by mfc is one of our best reserve players

ironically he was axed by Roos without given much opportunity.The coaching department this year probably worth a more than a million dollars compared to last year should have achieved more than 4 wins.Are the Demons going to replace all

of all reserve ( afl listed) players for under performing? A rebuild of a rebuild of a rebuild again!!!!! oh my god. IF JADE RAWLINGS is a candidate for replacing Roos he needs to immediately take over the reserves coaching,what his face…..good

bye.Roos twice this year mentioned how big the Fremantle Dockers midfielder were,yet we still have a lot of small midfielders at the club in Evans,Bail,Nat Jones,Toumpas,Kent,Riley etc with of the loss of Cross,Tyson looking like he needs a

rest, our back ups are not up to scratch,we really should have recruited a couple of tall mids at the lower end of the draft spectrum.I also wonder are the reserves happy playing and or being associated with Casey perhaps it is time to go alone

like other afl clubs.This year I would have used Watts(196 cm,2 cm less than Jamar)as a Ruck rover like Blicavs (Geelong),Gawn as a ruck man/forward inter changing with KIng,Fitzpatrick on the wing in the RESERVES from round 1 until they

can become a dominating factor,these guys except King should be Demon Household names by now.I am sick to death on Roos tells everyone we are a 17TH side and the reserves coach tells us about how many touches the players had,

we should be told what is going to be done about the dismal performances at senior and reserve level,forget report cards on players it is childish ………. When is the season going to be over…yawn.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
