Why are the reserves so …...

Recommended Posts

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
