I just hope Brayshaw gets a starting spot, really like his pressure, disposal and unaffected psyche.

Of course you do. On Demonland, the less games you have played the more of a superstar you are. If he follows suit, by the time he reaches 50 games he will have been involved in a lot of failures and pathetic losses and be held with the same contempt that most of his 'senior' teammates are.

    CaB another fine entry into the most negative post competition. You seem to excel at sucking the energy out of a thread.

    Out Dawes.

    Frost to backline - Howe forward

    In Toumpas.

    Come on Dees, we can beat Adelaide.

    I reckon Perderson and Hogan is a really dangerous forward line. Remember Pederson's game against Port? Boy...I hope he comes in...

    Kent was good in the first and so were MFC ..so he stays.

    Dawes has been dropping marks since he was a Pie,its not going to change,he's big and runs around ..has to stay

    JKH should never have been dropped from a slow team...he's in

    Howe has promised for.... how many seasons now(?) and he's still a highlight reel when he can be bothered...OUT

    One change assuming no injuries....but maybe Pederson for Frost(?)

    Give them a chance and make the two's earn their spot.

    You are a dead set mate..

    Thought you would have learnt from round 1 when Brayshaw was very impressive first up.

    Time and time again you are made to look like a silly old fool with such absurd comments.

    you will be the first one to knife him in the back when he has a bad one and we lose

    then you will focus on 2016 debutants and their superstar qualities, and how all our bad development is a thing of the past

    less backbone than a snake you've got

    Kent missed a couple of easy, set shots.....would have put us 40 odd points up.

    In stronger teams, he'd get dropped for that.

    Hogan did too but nobody mentions that of course

    yep but MFC isnt a stronger side ...he got it six times or thereabouts up forward in the first quarter. Teaching him to kick is easier than teaching Dawes to mark I reckon

    Actually I remember them as "should gets" not "easy"

    How do I find the ignore button. You can take my virginity

    Out, Newton, not up to it.

    Cross, time has past him by, slow and kicks floaters.

    Dawes, Greasy hands, not good enough.

    In. Tackles McKenzie, an upgrade on whatever Cross does.

    Pedersen, showed signs of life last year unlike Dawes.

    Bail, an upgrade on Newton.

    Fallen for the old trap recruiting fringe players from other clubs, Vince, Newton, Cross and Dawes, we outsmarted nobody as usual.

    We knew that they could play and their clubs didn't, beyond belief.

    Agree....hence he'll stay.

    Brad Scott said that Linday Thomas would be dropped if he missed 'should gets...'

    It would great to have that depth one day.....

    Agree on the tackling, we nead at least another 2 or 3 tackling players in this side, don't care who goes in or out just give me 20-25 tackles per Q everything else will fall into place.

    No thats why to this day i still stick by Toumpas. I rarely knife the young kids as i wait till they atleast clock up 50 to 80 games before i can properly judge them. I see the glimpse in them and give them chances.

    Its senior players like Dawes and Frawley in the past that [censored] me up the wall.

  • Quote

    Dawes stays, we got two goals as a result of direct contests where he outmuscled his opponent. He is also needed to take Talia and at every opportunity pull him away from the forward 50

    Frost for JKH to get better run

    Kent is on thin ice in my book, aid many times he doesn't work hard enough when he doesn't have it (although that was the whole side for the second half)

    If Vince isn't 80% he doesn't play for me, Michie or Toumpas in for him

    Out:Frost & Vince if not fit

    In: JKH & Michie

    Brayshaw to start and Kent to the pine

    I actually would like to see this at some stage.

    you mean that bloke who was often running PAST other Demons in an effort to do SOMETHING ?? just curious :rolleyes:

    Yes BB he is the one, was full of running early but along with others he dropped off dramatically. I mean that sincerely he was feeling the pinch and on what I have seen Dean doesn't have the ability to did deep and keep going, second efforts are not high on his list. I am not just making this accusation based on Saturday alone

    Said it many times he can be anything but his workrate IMO is what is holding him back

    Think Talia will go straight to Hogan 'Pennant'

    If Frost goes out who takes the 2nd ruck duties? can't be Dawes, he's not a ruck's .....

    I don't get the Kent love from some, he has a bit too much Col about him at the moment. As well as work rate, his set shot kicking is poor and I'm not sure about his footy smarts.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
