ANB 24 possies... good signs early from him

Mitchell Whites stats are good too... anyone seen him play? What sort of player would you say he is?

    Alex Neal-bullen 24 disposals and Mitch White 21 disposals.

    Definitely some good signs here. ANB is showing his ball winning ability lately which is something to build on because if he keeps his form up he might debut sooner then later.

    Good to see pigdog have a good game aswell.

    Who played more time in the ruck, Gawn or Jamar? Was interested to see if Gawn got more hitouts playing number 2. Any word on Fitz?

    Whilst it's promising that young players like ANB and White got a few possessions, I'd treat them with a grain of salt. It's seems that Casey play a similar style to MFC, which is understandable, but unfortunately that style involves players racking up stats that don't impact the game.

    Our rucks had a combined 67 hitouts. Riley and McKenzie must have fed off the ruckmen, but both players are totally ineffectual with ball in hand. Casey only kicked 7 goals against a stand alone VFL club that lost alot of their better players in the off-season. That's a disgrace.

    Really?? The MFC is 18th for kicks, handballs, disposals. I don't see a lot of padding for stats there.

    The AFL team are currently ranked 18th in the competition (ie, last) for disposals. So what you are saying is to ignore any high possession games because the game style of those players is similar to the style of a team that does not get high possessions.

    That is completely illogical.

    Interesting that neither Jamar or Gawn named amongst the better Casey players.

    Jamar seems to be at the end and Gawn has never got started.

    Says a lot about our list

    Gawn was well held by Lucas Cook

    I must admit, while 21 and 24 touches are nice, it is likely that that would translate to 10 or 15 touches at afl.

    I would like to see some 30+ possession games from some of the casey players.

    I'd like to see some 30+ possessions at Senior AFL level!!!!

    We haven't had ONE this year. When was the last time we had someone that could rack up 30 stats with regularity? Junior? (its not the be all and end all but we are currently 18th in disposals). We need someone to get the pill.

    I have high hopes for White. If he can get his body right to play AFL he has all the tools to be a really good attacking HBF for us. His intercept marking is good, he has the courage to take a high mark in front of oncoming players and risk getting flattened and his kicking is all class. Decent pace too from what I've seen. The question has always been whether he can stand up to the physical side of the game or if his body will fail him. I think they need to be a bit more coutious with him and make sure to build him up physically before they put him into the firsts, but he could be a great players for us.

    I wonder if the IT brains trust here on d'land know how to make a template like that green oval, which we could use for our teams? would make things more appealing/interesting

    from the Mfc website

    MELBOURNE has finalised its list for 2015, after claiming Dandenong Stingrays defender Mitchell White in Wednesday’s NAB AFL Rookie Draft.

    White capped off a fine year in the TAC Cup, winning the club champion award.

    “Mitchell predominantly played as a rebound defender, culminating in a best and fairest for the Stingrays this year. He’s a long, raking left-foot kick, who has really good defensive nous,” national recruiting manager Jason Taylor told melbournefc.com.au.

    Melbourne now has a full list of 44 players for 2014, including 40 on its primary list and four rookies.

    Who would you promote out of White or Harmes? Both seem to be acquitting themselves ok.

    Harmes by a canter. White and King are a long way from playing AFL this year. Nothing against either of those 2 and have big hopes for both but they are still boys with a lot of growing to do =)

    Have to agree that Harmes is ahead. I think White is probably the better prospect long term, but he's not ready yet and I think he's got some work to do on his body.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
