I mentioned this a month ago but worth repeating. I attended a function prior to the Saints game where Josh Mahoney got up and spoke about a few players. It was Michies first game back for months from

One thing i notice significantly was at times he showed real break away pace. Something i haven't seen from him before. I think he will play the rest of the year out and kept on for next year. Persona

Gotta be at least 5-6 others on the list worthy of delisting before Viv. He's a great kid, too. Would be sad to see him cut loose.

Mate Riley is finished. Will be rightfully delisted at the end of the year.

Settle down.

You posted your opinion. I happen to disagree.

Ok then I'd be happy to hear ' I happen to disagree'. The 'Of course' struck me as dismissive and a tad unfriendly. Over and out for me. Let normal programming resume.

Not my intention to be dismissive or unfriendly.

When you said, 'my opinion' I replied with of course, alluding to your comment.

Anyway, all good.

Living 3 hours is hard. I had planned to go to the GWS game as i am in Melbourne that weekend but they can get [censored].

If thats the case then might aswell give Terlich Mckenzie Bail to see if they are up to it. Riley is finished.

I was so proud of Michie today! Solid effort and really showed us what his got- his best game yet :)

He makes good decisions, is among the top in goal assists, and he has pace. He is definitely a ball-winner and I like how he plays.

Thanks Samael for the interesting stats and all the Michie-fans!! :)

See what impact starting on-field has? That hasn't happened often...and today I thought Michie was BOG :) He was rewarded for his hard efforts all the times he was named on the I/C bench, still solid efforts then too.

Keep up the good work Michie!! :blink::roos: Roos: 'I thought Michie was good for us today, he showed a lot'

He's been better the last few weeks, cleaner with the ball, covering more ground. I still think he's only depth as he doesn't seem to have the speed or nous to do much forward and so far he hasn't held down a spot in the midfield. But hey he's far better depth than some. Once again he's another I'd love to see have a huge preseason and smash all his running times.

Agreed. Michie's on the fringe though.

Surely: Bail, Terlich, McKenzie, Jamar, Howe, Garland, Riley, M Jones, Toumpas. It'd be dependent on who we think would come in to replace them. I'd be tempted to keep Michie at this stage. Only for depth though.

Seriously, how the hell did we get to the stage of delisting a pick #4 from 3 years ago?

FMD this club is infuriating.

I'd be looking for a trade, but I'd easily part with a 2nd rounder at this point.

I can't see anything inside a top 15 pick for Toumpas at this rate.

No, although if could package him together with another pick or another player, we might make it work for ourselves.

I think people need to stop looking at supercoach and dreamteam scores and look at the actual impact a player has on the game. Michie is our best Goal assist player, largely because he's the only mid we have who has even the slightest notion of how to kick to a forward. He also rarely sells a teammate up the creek the way most of his teammates do. His fundamentals are far better than the rest of the team. His output has steadily increased as he gets more time in the senior side. There are about 18 players in line to be dropped before him at the moment.

You can stop defending your son, I'm fairly sure the pervading view is to keep him for now.

I hardly think 6 goal assists in 9 games with an average of .07 (equal 71st in the league) constitutes a goal assist expert.

Viv's OK, but nothing more than that.

Viv has played just 9 games for the season , with some of those as the sub with hardly any game time

Yet he ranks 7th at the club for total goal assists, and 2nd for goal assists per game!!

He is underrated

    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

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    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?
