Viv Michie

His pass in the 3rd qtr to Hogan (I think) last week was sublime. Was clearly in our best.

We were also singing his praises in the Richmond win in rd 4.

Also ended last year quite well so might be the sort of player that works himself into a season.

Probably just worth perserving with but doesn't provide any point of difference at AFL level.

Will be surprised if he's in the mix when our midfield stocks are bolstered next season. Been decent in his past two games and he's the sort of player you have to give a few games (definitely not a good sub) to assess them. He was said to be a bargain when we acquired him but I don't think he's good enough to hold a spot in any side

I like Viv and wanted it to work, but he's clearly got no elite traits at AFL level. He's OK, but we need better than OK.

Keep turning the bloody list over and stop hanging on to fringe journeyman like we have for years.

If we jettison one too early I can live with that. I'd rather a 'Viv' embarrass us than continually keeping ordinary players.

He is still young and has not played many games, but within those games I have seen things to show he can make it at AFL level.

Def keeper I reckon.

Most players require at least 20+ games to feel comfortable at the highest level. FFS we have persisted with M jones (50 games), Bail, Terlich etc for longer and they have shown less skill wise than this guy.

Hiis past two games have been pretty good ,even when the wall is crashing down around him. He seems to have a lot more confidence because he is starting to feel comfortable out there.

He was far from the worst today !!

One Showed improvement in his last 2 games. He is AFL standard. Strong and a good kick. Perfect modern wingman.

'Perfect modern wingman' is a bit ambitious. Was good last week, showed a little bit today. Is still a 'may keep' for me.

T-e-r-r-i-b-l-e.

Pfft coming from the bloke who has a teary if anyone qestions his lover boy Jack Watts.

Michie today showed why he should have been given more game time ahead of the likes of Bail and Jones.. earnt himself another year. He is gaining more and more confident each week. He rarely wastes the ball and actually has good decision making.

I don't believe in keeping bad players on the basis of:

1/ He is not the worst.

2/ Shallow draft.

If you don't have anything to offer, you're cut.

I see something in Mitchie though. I think he is worth trying.

MJones, DTerlich, RBail, Mckenzie, BNewton, ARiley, JFitzpatrick aren't.

If you can't see he is bog ordinary, I can't help you.

I'd be cleaning out others before Michie. Was probably our best today.

Bail, McKenzie, M Jones, Jamar, Grimes, Garland and Howe should be out the door before him. He is on the fringe though.

I'd like to revisit my earlier post.

Gotta be at least 10+ others I'd get the [censored] out of this club before moving Viv on. As if it wasn't bad enough that Roos contradicts his own mission statement by refusing to drop bad players, but the team would be fools to delist players actually having a dip compared with some of the other peahearts who pervade the list.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons return to Melbourne in Round 17 to take on the Eagles on Sunday as they look to bounce back from a devastating and heartbreaking last minute loss to the Lions at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?
