For those who want to know why Oliver was dropped, take it from Roos himself:

“Our seconds played really well [on June 18]. There were some really good performances for Casey,” he said.

“So there was a bit of pressure on selection and we’ve seen this year that even one poor game can lead to getting dropped.

“It’s probably more about promoting [players], who have had a really good patch from Casey, rather than a bad patch of form from a senior player.”

It will be the first match Wagner has missed since he made his AFL debut in round three against North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena"

So it's more about the good form of the players at Casey as opposed to poor from from someone like Oliver.  Harmes went back to Casey and had a ripper, Grimes and M Jones have also been playing very well too.  It simply can't be ignored.

This is the key to it. He is still only a boy and there is no point knocking him around every week at this stage of his development. He's shown enough to indicate he will be a long term gun player. FFS we can get another 15 years out this fella!!

I have picket on ignore, but I laughed a little when he said I have no idea.  He thinks Wagner was omitted...

I don't get this. I never put anyone on ignore ( although I'm sure many have me on ignore)

You delve around in enough buckets of [censored], you'll eventually find that diamond ring. ( I've mixed a few metaphors or something but i'm sure you'll get my point - I think.

EERR well ..  maybe you should put me on ignore too Wise

Absolutely no need for that, mate.  I've only got a few people on ignore on this board (such as picket, deeluded) because I feel as though they bring nothing interesting or intelligent to the discussion.  Plus they annoy me, so if I can't see it, then I can focus on the other stuff.

There are countless buckets here mate, and the ones I've got on ignore are shallow indeed.

Now dee luded is an intelligent if misunderstood poster.

How long did the poor bastard get? [censored] me Eddie got off lightly compared to 'luded

Any mods reading this?

It's about time to resurrect 'luded. I don't think he's committed a capital offence.

12 x 4 or is it 5 ish!! You think I post like a child?? Fair enough, but the passion (if slightly hysterical nature) of the man is part of the persona that is me. warts and all! 

In the industry in which I work, My passion is regarded as admirable even if it does get me into some ah interesting discussions! So be it!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
