Does it matter Jnr?

FD appear to see him as yesterday's hero who does not fit the current player requirement.

How on earth do you come to that conclusion? He had just come back into the side which suggests he does fit tbe current player requirement. Strange

    They preferred others for a month. He was dropped for what appeared to be no defensive pressure which is something the FD now shows is not negotiable. He then produced some very good games at Casey but stayed anchored at Casey.  He got in against the Crows in Darwin because our injuries list left not much else. It was a choice between him and Kennedy. That really means there was no choice. He is remnant from the bad old days and I suspect that is how the FD see him. Don't be surprised if he puts his hand up from transfer at seasons end.

    Maybe he isn't meeting current requirements, but a bit early to tell old fella. Season still rolling along and all.

    Cards it is not me making those decisions it is the FD.

    i am just commenting on how I see their decisions.

    as well he has a dislocated shoulder so we may not see him again in 2017 at senior level.

    Not happy. Today I had the day off and assumed training would be on at the normal time although it wasn't an open session and I also wanted to visit the Demon Shop to buy an indigenous jumper. So I rode my bike down to Gosch's around 10 a.m. only to find an empty oval. I back tracked to the Gee and to the Demon Shop only to find the indigenous jumpers are in short supply. They had extra small, small, then 2XL to 4XL. Nothing in the middle that fitted me so no sale. I checked some other stuff but they also had very small or large sizes only. So I suppose that is a sign of good sales. So maybe next year then.

    At his best he is a very good player. I heard Roos describe him as " elite". I don't want to give up on him. Look at his R3 game v Cats. Kicked a couple, missed several. Has great pace and, at his best, tackles ferociously

    Trouble is Farmer he only produces his best one week in four.

    how many has he played this year? The answer is six and only 58 for his career.

    IMO his lack of games this year is down to our improving list. Three years ago he was a walk up start. Not so now.

    He's been flown to Sweden for their state-of-the-art pillows.

    Don't you need an Allen key to put those together?

    It's probably more a sign that  we're not as fat as the KFC Richmond supporters or as skinny as the Collingwood ones who can't chew solids.

    Clear scans, why wouldn't his ankle continue to improve?

    This week (and the remaining weeks) is life and death. Gawn must be risked.

    Not sure if you remember the first encounter against North in round 9, but Goldstein got about 122 hitouts as their midfield ran riot to get the win. I know Goldy may not be playing this week but we need to win the midfield battle regardless of who Norf rucks this week.

  • Quote

    I agree with BBP - North play tall (Brown, Waite, Goldy/Pruess/Daw). I think Pedo was awesome the first 6-7 weeks he was in the side but his last 2-3 games patchy. If Gawn is really that questionable, I'd be looking at Spencil first. Need ruckman height, win ball in middle to negate their fwd line.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
