I wanted Toumpas to have at least a month, but he can't play next week.

Bail and M.Jones should be forgotten.

Stretch to go back to Casey, not ready.

Howe dropped or at best made the sub.

Jones (M) was okay. Would rather drop Tyson.

It's a tough one because the following players all need to be dropped/given a spell. I've also included Salem (injured).

Salem (inj)

Toumpas (forget the draft number guys, he's not up to it)

Stretch (not up to it yet)

Dawes (poor form)

Bail (not up to it)

M. Jones (not up to it)

Brayshaw (needs a rest)

Spencer (not up to it)

That's 8 players. You can't make 8 changes. And we don't have 8 genuine options to come back anyway.

Worrying signs.

Dawes should be the first one dropped

Gave the Hawks ammo during the week with his stupid comments and then serves up this [censored]

Hes a dud anyway, always has been

Pedo is twice the player

Dawes has got to go. Pedersen is miles ahead of him.

I agree except Brayshaw, he's probably in our top 5 for effort.

Also add Howe - doesn't give a fuxk

This.

Would anyone be against putting Dawes up for trade come years end?

It's a joke that a kid who has only played 6 games is already so much more of a better player than he is. Whilst Pedersen is a late call up and has done more in a single game than Dawes has all year.

Sadly our lack of depth (and injuries to many of our best 22 - no excuse for the depths of insipidness today) will prevent as many changes as their should be. Edited by monoccular

EDIT: Forgot about Salem injury.

Actually agree with all of these. Axe needs to be swung.

Howe has checked out. He can go.

Wanted Toump to get a run at it but he's not even remotely close to competing at this level.

So like Frawley last year, doesn't even show the self pride to disguise it. Edited by monoccular

Not really - the problem is, who would take him?

Neeld signed some magnificent contracts.

Dawes and Clark were just awesome.

We all thought it was the coup of the trade fortnight.

See even us geniuses can be wrong sometimes.

We haven't genuinely improved for 9 years, does it really make any difference what players we swap week to week now?

Howe must have an offer on the table for next season because he isn't playing like a player showcasing their talents for a new contract. He needs to find form or pull on a scorps jumper.

Jetta has been sorely missed, and Salem getting hurt is a huge blow. There just isn't enough talent burning up the vfl for spots to allow the axe to be swung like it should be.

Posted (edited)

Howe's total stats for the past 2 weeks

8 kicks

3 marks

2 tackles

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
