SEN late night MFC Season preview


DeeSpencer

Recommended Posts

Darren Parkin with special guest Daniel Cross.

Not a bad listen if you've got 20 minutes.

Starts with a best 22. Pretty standard team similar to most of the media ones floating around.

Goes through some strengths and weaknesses and then Crossy gets on to talk Tracc and others. 

Overall Crossy seems positive about a lot of players, including Petracca, but cautions that he'll need a good block of preseason running before he plays.

Darren is very passionate about General Footy, but such a St.kilda supporter, and as has been said today about the station he works for, He is careful NEVER to Rock the boat on SEN...The AFL have them by the balls big time....

Meh, it's late night talk radio, save the conspiracies for the forums, no point discussing criticism of the AFL at 2am. 

I'd be more worried that the AFL isn't criticised by investigative journos at the big papers. In fact the way the peptides scandal broke in to Caro (AFL) and Robbo (Ess) was very disappointing.

Yes i know it is in the wee hours but when you have a bunch of late night presenters (Most) just want the Essendrug situation to go away because it is taking too long rather than finding the truth it kind of dilutes the output...
SEN people (Mostly) want "Footy" at any cost no matter what the Performance...

This year he is a drug cheat serving his time.

next year he will be an MFC player.

I am interested in the " best 22 " selected by Parkin and also many on this site. Essentially most selections involve all those who would be expected to be picked.

I have watched again the great game v Gerlong in 2015. In my view the key to Melbourne 16 lies in a number of players who don't feature on anyone's best 22.

apart from the usual picks we tried many kids last year. I will forget some, but in my thinking I include Harmes, Stretch, Neil-Bullen, Mc Donald (jun) White, Frost. In my view, our best side will hopefully, by R12 , include 3 of the above, and at least 2 will feature in our B and F. 

We are happy about the first years of Brayshaw and Hogan and Vandenberg but if it really was a great year for first years, some of the above need to come through. I suspect at least a couple will. If they do, we can challenge for the 8

one final point. Many on this site deplore that we have Matt Jones on the list. Watch a replay of the Geelong match and think again! Even in a v good side there is a role for a Matt Jones

I've watched that game a couple of times and the contributions of M Jones and ANB were vital to our win.

And bye th' bye it was nice to hear Derwayne having to say nice things about Melbourne, and down at Geelong too.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
