Amazing that two hours after the game there are only two posts on this thread. I am used to two pages in the first hour after a game!

I guess Garland, Watts, Howe, Dawes and co can keep their jobs this week.

Paul Roos made mention in his post match presser that to take the next step we need to add an A+ midfielder

Perhaps the rumours are true about Prestia coming are true :roos:

So Prestia's gone from a B grader to an A+ grader in a week, in your calculations, mate? ;)

One good game from Howe isn't enough. I still hope they move him on.

Dawes has been serviceable for a couple of weeks now. Hoping he finds his niche and can continue to work around half forward... he'll never be a deep marking forward with those hands.

No i rate him the level below, B+. Hes an absolute gun.

A grader is reserved for the true superstars

So how can you equate Roos talking about getting an A+ midfielder to being about Dion Prestia when you only rate him as a B+?

Logic doesn't compute, although why I'm applying logic to your posts is anybodies guess.

Because people have different ways/grades of rating players?

I just want him at the MFC, hes a legit gun

As Ricky Gervais would say:

"Your explanation is the theological equivalent of saying 'look over there' and then running in the opposite direction."

Agree with the last part though.

Whilst I don't wish to 'pick' on him, can some of you watch Garland today and tell me what he's adding to the side today?

He's already fluffed kicks. One of which was to a player less than 15 metres away on his own.

Do people see how one-dimensional our backline is?

Garland has value through FA. We need a different skill set in our side and in our backline.

Watch Garland for the rest of the day and you'll see what I mean. He is insignificant. Irrelevant.

There's lots to like about Colin Garland except for his kicking. He actually kicks floaters not dissimiliar to how Cale Morton used to and Gaspar also. If you watch him closely, he makes contact with the ball right on it's point (when the ball is vertical) as opposed to the sweet spot behind the point. Hence, too many up and unders. I used to do same in the shite leagues.

Who GAF if Prestia's B+, A or A+. Really...

We need quality mids badly, and have for years. If he comes to Melbourne I'll be ecstatic.

Prestia or if that fails, OMeara. If that fails and 18 of our senior players get done for steroids, Morton...the brother.

Wouldn't it be all so much easier if we could get our hands on the all knowing file that grades all players A through to F, would make recruiting so much easier.

I heard today from someone who knows Cam Pedersen that Jeremy Howe is gone

Begs the question why the f he keeps getting a game (and yes he played well today)

Begs the question why you would believe it so blindly too.

The club knows what it is doing.

I'm not saying I believe it blindly

But on form Howe should have been dropped a loooong time ago.

Maybe, but his game today shows why he should be kept in the side. No one else at Casey can play like he can.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
