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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
