When your getting dropped to the  development league in your 3rd year of AFL footy you know your in serious  trouble.

There are no comparisons to Gawn or Spencer. They were both playing senior  AFL level at 19 years old. King is nearly 21 and has struggled this year.

You can just about put a line through him.

You do know that he has had a broken/chipped bone in the wrist and is tryng desperately to get back into the Seniors to play finals despite being on limited time in the Dev. team. None of this may have any bearing if he is rerookied next year but he wasn't dropped as you stated.

Before Roos and PJ came along we were playing a VFL standard team in the AFL. Now we're playing an almost AFL standard team in the VFL.

Melbourne and Casey are both in a rich vein of form and there are almost no injuries, I'm loving this.

He was dropped.

He had 3 disposals against Richmond in the VFL senior then had the bye and played development league after that.

Newton (mystery injury of the week on rotation)

Pretty sure I read somewhere that he had a knee injury.

Correct. Ben Newton was one of last week's mystery injuries of the week with a knee complaint. According to the medical report, he's out for a week.

Sam Weideman and Liam Hulett are this week's joint mystery injuries of the week.

How can the Weed be a mystery injury, when it has been widely reported he has a corky?

I  haven't given up on him yet, wonder if the club have.

Agree.

He has definite talent and I hope we persist.

Biggest problem I can see is that he hasn't been able to develop his endurance. Whenever I've seen him at training he seems to be trailing behind and in games he hasn't been able to hold his intensity levels up. He's been in the system a few years now, no doubt about the raw talent but can he develop athletically?

When the club's own website has an article on the team's injured players and produces an injury list without mention of the "widely reported" corky, then it's a mystery.

Melbourne injury list: round 21

Jesse Hogan (knee) - available
Mitch King (knee) - season
Heritier Lumumba (concussion) - indefinite
Ben Newton (knee) - 1 week
Jake Spencer (knee) - test

If you wanted to re rookie him and throw other clubs off the track, what better way than to drop him to the Dev League and show you didn't have a lot of faith in his ability to succeed.  Just a thought.

Dazzle, I think we are arguing over semantics. He injured his wrist against Richmond and was given very limited time in the Dev. league because of his injury. None of this matters as like you unfortunately I too believe that Max maybe looking elsewhere in 2017. If however the Club do decide to keep him on, they obviously see something in him and I would trust them as they are far more experienced than you and I.

Notwithstanding all that, I believe that Max was on notice before he was dropped to the DL. For two or three weeks before that happened, he was also named in both the Casey Senior and DL teams so that he was very much on the border line. Apart from last week when he kicked three goals, he has done very little down there and was overlooked in favour of Oscar McInerney for the seniors in the absence of Jake Spencer.

He's not Gawn but he's got very little time to prove he's not gorn.

Kingy! He's had a day out. His fourth goal and he pushes the lead past 100 points.

 

Well right on cue, maybe only DL but quite a performance.

 

 He will be on the list next year. Theres a lot to work with, still very young.

    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 once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
