and jordie mckenzie disposal from what i've seen

 

Personally, I'm leaning towards the big guy Peter Wright.

Fitzpatrick and Spencer should both be on the delist wagon, leaving just Jamar and Gawn as our rucks.

Jamar has been competent again, but cannot go on forever. Gawn is looking more and more promising, but is obviously only one player.

Wright offers a long-term highly capable player to pair with Gawn in a ruck/forward and forward/ruck combo. He's also reasonably well-built already, and could be playing a forward role very soon, adding more ruck once Jamar retires.

On the other hand, we need multiple competent midfielders, not a single gun. The whole system is breaking down at the moment and not even Ollie Wines could turn it around.

My count of potential/likely delistings has climbed to an incredible thirteen. That'll mean at least half a dozen 'end of draft' picks who as far as I see it can all be 'possible midfielders'.

Should be interesting times at Casey next year, too.

hmmm what they have the Tigers who have won 7 in a row and are pushing for finals and the crows at home also fighting to keep 8th spot. They will not win either. For us to drop below them on percentage we would have to lose both games by 170 points more than they do.. so yeah..hmmm

Fremantle game, anyone?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
