Not saying I want any, more that the 'ins' are not inspiring in the slightest.

I agree, they should have named Fyfe, Ablett and Franklin. What do those blokes have to do to get a call-up from Casey?

do people even know wtf they are complaining about anymore?

    I agree totally uninspiring recalls. Turdlick, jones number 2 and giraffe boy. Are you joking! No future in AFL for any of these. Why not try a few of the VFL guys who haven't had much of a go this year? We're second bottom for heavens sake!!!

    You're the posting police now are you C&B?

    We can post about what we think, if the ins are inspiring or not. I'm merely making an observation that, in my opinion, the potential changes this week are not inspiring. It reflects more on the current state of our list than anything else, but it's nice to see you still bring nothing to a thread no matter what you post.

    I bring nothing? You are having a whinge about nothing which is a pastime of many in this forum. Blease, Tapscott, Riley, JKH, Kent and McKenzie are ALL already in the extended side, who exactly of the remaining players on the list would you have preferred to see the coach name tonight so that you may be 'inspired'? I can pose that question knowing confidently there not is a name can you can offer that is likely to bring more to the table than any of the three INS named. Gawn I agree has shown very little but as well all know the big blokes take forever to do anything and you have to get them out to develop our ruck stocks for 3-4 years from now. 208cm blokes are just too rare that they pretty much get autoselected such is the nature of the game. Terl and MJones have at least put in some decent AFL matches which is more than can be said for the rest of the remaining list - so tell me, instead of pontlessly whinging, on what basis do you criticise the coach's selections tonight? Thanks.

    What a waste of 5 lines. I said they were uninspiring selections, choices that don't excite me. I then said that it was merely a reflection on our list that the only ins for us at the minute are players that don't really bring a whole lot to the table. This is a discussion forum, although I applaud you for getting on your soap box and getting annoyed about nothing, which is kind of ironic as you generally spend a good chunk of your time whinging and criticizing others.

    Maybe not inspiring, but is that due to lack of vision by the selectors, or a total lack of talent / performance in the twos?

    Ridiculous post. Ablett's out for the year with an injured shoulder. Don't you know anything?

    Nice nickname, with a name calling post of that quality, you should consider Richard Cranium, Matt Jones and Gawn played in the VFL last week, who would suggest as an in then, or is clear thought a bit beyond you?

    Interesting. Think Terlich is the natural replacement for Grimes at half back anyway. If Cross plays I'm not sure it will be for Grimes. Also not sure what benefit if any there was to hiding Cross for a day.

  • Quote

    It's been reported that Grimes is out and Daniel Cross is in

    Reported where?

    Melbourne FC ✔ @melbournefc

    NEWS: Jack Grimes has withdrawn from the squad of 25 for Sunday's match and has been replaced by Daniel Cross.

    Good news if true, Grimes has been terrible lately. Hopefully Crossy plays , otherwise it will be Terlich........

    Don't expect these sides to win a lot of ball out of the middle.

    So what's the ball going to do? Sit in the centre square all day?

    And his poor kicking has lost us atleast two that I remember.

    If that is the swap I think we have gained from the Port Game

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
