Changes v Collingwood


P-man

Recommended Posts

If I recall correctly, when JKH was drafted I believe he was praised for his work ethic. Isn't this also what Roos was saying when he picked him to play at the beginning of last season?

What evidence is there that he has a "very suspect work ethic"?

Has exceeded expectation already and will be better when he slows down a touch, yes slows down.

But Dawes has barely put in one good game this year, he passed as serviceable as second ruck/forward last week but this week was found out for his lack of.....well anything. If his role is forward/second ruck then I reckon we'd get just as much, possibly more from Jamar. Jamar has also had good Casey form and would be a just reward for his effort. IMO we'd get a better ruck, and a just as competent forward.

Agree 100% with everyone that Dawes output all year does not warrant his salary, senior member status, nor possibly a permanent spot in the team. The only value Dawes has really provided is a link up man when we move it through the centre at speed. That's about it. I seem him as being in the same ball park as Grimes, who's been forced to improve his game before earning a spot.

One thing you can be confident about Jamar - he does know how to clunk a mark in the forward line, although I wonder if he has the athleticism to lead up all game. Surely it's time to find out if he has another year in him.

INNS

RILEY ( Gunna be wet, need strong in an under)

WHITE ( Elevate to Senior List) Elite Kicking and reader of play)

HUNT ( For Pace)

OUTS

STRETCH ( Needs a spell)

HARMES ( Not enough last week)

MICHIE ( Not productive enough)

Might be tempted to also play ANB

Mc Donald to backline, If Howe plays must play forward!

That's it

Better than he has shown, and good enough to play a role in our resurgence?

Happy to be Robison Crusoe on this.

It's lonely, though...

Yes I think your group would be close to one rpfc

We played about a quarter against this mob last time and only lost by 4 goals. Play 4 quarters and we should win.

4 quarters of what kind of football?? The essendon game or the geelong game

From the bit I saw Hogan was much worse than Dawes,petulant, abusing team mates, and when he had it could generally not kick the ball over a jam tin, I guess people believe what they want to believe, 7 disposals is not a bag, and is miserly compared to Dawes 17 touches, would not be surprised if his lack of effort he found himself at Casey, needs to pull his big head in.

Just Stretch out for ANB.

Good lord. Dawes must have incriminating photos at his disposal.

who did you want in? with Salem, Kent, Frost, Pederson, Petracca and Trengove injured, this is our best 22. Nat Fyfe is not at Casey you know

Collingwood are trying to expose us by dropping Jesse White. It will be interesting to see how our tall backline goes.

McDonald forward, Dunn on resting ruck and Garland on small forward/mid doesn't sound too bad to me.

I don't mind how we match up on paper.

Hnmm starting to question the integrity of selections!

Hnmm Riley better than Michie, Roll the dice Upgrade White and Hunt and "Blood" for the future!

Too much "Dead Wood" still getting games!

Also some players must be wondering "What do I have to do to get a game"

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
