There I said it.

Watched him closely tonight and he does mot wanna get near it when it's hot. Providing nothing as a small forward. Seriously not ready for AFL level football

 

Hope you are very very wrong.

That is not the way he has played at Casey.

I like him but I've also noticed him hesitating more than once.

Needs time. Let's not throw him to the wolves just yet.

I would say hesitant rather than scared too P

FFS. Young guy, light build, finding his way in footy.

It takes confidence and experience to know when to go and when not to ... not to mention, none of us know what he's been instructed to do. Play as an outside receiver for example?

But yeah, so much easier just to pot a player from the safety of a keyboard.


Aaron Davey was scared too. Didn't stop him from being a bloody good player.
 

The young turner bloke from north weighs 64kg and I've seen him in a couple of game throw himself into it a lot more than Barry does.. Barry just skirts around the packs

Don't think he should've got another contract.


terrible thread

Yeah, because you're out there just smashing them to pieces.

Get a grip. He's done some good things and been in some okay places to give and receive.

What other pathetically intentioned threads can come from Demonland?

Troll much?

You're a bore.

You are basing your comments on what ?

Your courage in bagging a guy who has actually played the game at the highest level.

Do the site and the club a favour, drop dead.

He has struggled. Not sure the contract extension was warranted.

Average skills. Not quick. Not inside type. Works off his man so too loose for backman role.


Beats me how he gat a game ahead of a JKH tonight......Jay offers so much more at this stage.

Just putting reality out there. We could all put the rose colored glasses on and support the boys, but then we would never progress and continue this path of habitual losers

JKH not available due to ankle injury DeeZee.

yes. no.

no. no. yes. yes.

Dom has struggled, you are quite right. he needs time, that's all -- which is precisely why the contract was warranted.

Dom has excellent skills and he is very quick. he does not have that quick burst that some others have, but by the same token he can keep it up where others drop off.

No he is not an "inside type". he never will be. i'm not pointing at you SoNS, but there are some (many) on this forum who would like nothing better than a team consisting exclusively of rabid knuckleheads ("there, i said it") -- there is a name for that: "Rugby League".

Dom Barry is not "scared". he is unsure of himself and has played very little football with the senior team. it would help him immensely if his team-mates rewarded him for tirelessly working himself into good positions, but mostly they prefer to kick it down the line so that Chris Dawes can get get scragged by 3 opponents.

i have seen a lot of Dom and what i have seen makes me think he will prove a very good winger for us.

Brad Hill is also quite scared.

Doesn't stop him from being a bloody good player but.

Dom will be fine.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
