Featured Replies

Out....

  • Rhys Stanley (Soreness),
  • Nakia Cockatoo (Omitted),
  • Mitch Clark (Foot)

which one?

 

Brayshaw named in starting 18, to fill the void left by Kent

which one?

The one that causes him to seek a transfer to a better club.

His got the non rookie salary so it's irrelevant whether he is on the field or not.

Interesting that Toumpas isn't even in the squad. He's coming from a long way back.

I think Riley or Pedersen are the best bests to fill the final spot.

Now I know how the people of Troy felt. Call me bitter, but I've never been so satisfied to see an injured foot.

 

Good to see Toump not considered. He needs to properly develop all parts if his game at vfl level. Once his confidence and hardness increase and he is dominating games, he will be back in

Pederson will make the 22 I reckon.

Ps check out freos extended bench. Would mind having that sort of depth. I have a feel sandi will be a late withdrawal for Hannath

I'm hoping that has more to do with match-ups/required roles rather than anything else. I suspect it is to do with his defensive game. If an outside player was needed he would be a more likely inclusion.

But it does signal he has work to do in the coaches eyes which goes beyond no of possessions.


Fantastic to see Jack G back hope he holds his spot for the rest of the year and sticks around for many years to come. Go Dees.

I thinks its the 2nd ruck dilemma

Agreed Maggot. The Monster will win the hit outs. So much as I like Spencer, I cant see any value including him because we cant be sure of his value up forward. So do we go with Pedo to support Jamar in at least trying to stop the Monster directing his hit outs and giving another marking option or do we go with a burrower to make a contest at ball ups etc?

You will hear from my legal team foul!!

Toump was sent to casey with some specific goals to tick off for his development, i'm glad to see he will be able to keep working on those

would hate to be a defender strolling out of the backline with the tackle machine Brayshaw sniffing around, he's bound to make people nervous with ball in hand.

really looking forward to Hogan vs Mcpharlane

Ultimately i think we will see the inclusions finish with Grimes and Riley as the sub, i don't think playing spencer as well would be good for team balance/make all that much difference in the ruck, i think Sandilands form is just going to mean our mids have to be willing to read off him a little bit more.

I think we will try and run with an extra mid - Geelong never win hit outs and Sydney always just attempt to half that area of the ground and win the contested ball. Im concerned with our lack of pace to match up against Hill, Pearce etc

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    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.
