I can understand why you defend him saty, it's his guns isn't it??

Not defending, just watched him play and train and discussed him with other players and coaches

Yes sorry,  of course he is right and some others aren't, what was I thinking

Nasher wasn't making an assessment on the validity of Steve's opinion or otherwise, moreso the needless futility of you telling Steve that's "your opinion", something Steve was almost certainly aware of.

but felt the need to let someone who was

questioning his place on the list know that, seems like you were defending him. And most likely because of his guns

Just an update on list management. 

Lamumba gone.

Hulett, Kennedy, Garland - likely to be delisted

Trengove, Vandenburg - on the edge.  Kent to return to WA??

suggest 5 go (Lamumba. Hulett. Kennedy. Garland. Vandenburg to rookie list to overcome injury). Mitch White delisted off rookie list so Vandenburg can be retained.

Joel Smith elevated.  Plus 3 draftees. Plus one trade/free agent.

Another mid with pace, a key defender and a ruckman as support.

Even the guys who look likely to be delisted on the most part have played good footy at AFL Level. 

I genuinely hope at least a few of them good another opportunity

Clearly a big shake up is needed in the playing list. Delistings are crucial and there are many players I'd love to see the back of.

I will rank in order the 10 biggest list cloggers

Lumumba

Garland

Hullett

White

JKH

Trengove

Wagner

Kent

Vince

Stretch

I wouldn't classify stretch a list clogger still very young had a bad year but shown he is capable no chance of going. He is also what we need run and decent skill.the rest i agree with but unfortunatly i think Vince Kent and Wagner will still be there

He doesn't have the tools to make it as a wingman, is short, slow and has poor foot skills

Lumumba - Gone

Garland - Gone

Hullett - Gone

White - Gone

JKH - Stayng

Trengove - Gone

Wagner - staying

Kent - Trade or staying

Vince - Staying

Stretch - staying

 

Well they aren't going to clear out 10 players in 1 hit and it will depend on contract status. Garland, JKH and Stretch all have contracts for next year and beyond. Agree that Lumumba, Hullett, Trengove and White will not get new contracts.

Team selection for Casey over the next few weeks will tell us a lot

Why oh why is Garland still contracted?!?!

So he is fits in well at our club

H, Trengove, Hullett will be our three mandatory spots.  Kennedy not sure who he has [censored] off not to get an AFL game this year.  Vince hard call but he really struggled this year and his last kick on Saturday summed up his season.

 


A bit hard to delist Lumumba when he's not even on the list anymore....

I think he was still on the books hence the official delisting

He-he. Good to see we're paying attention to Chris Scott and not throwing the baby out with the bathwater here!!!

They are not our problem - only Vince has played regularly this year and he has said he is happy to play games at Casey next year if he stays.

It may make people feel good to delist 10 players but it is only tweaking around the fringe and will not fix the bigger problem.

The bigger problem is a game plan which does not currently match the players we have and a huge lack of player smarts and disposal skills.  If our coach is flexible he can fix the former, the latter takes more than one season.

For this year, yes he was.

 

Keep Oliver, Viney, Jetta, Hibberd and Hogan. Jetta can be captain. The rest can take their overinflated pay packets and [censored] off

 

 

On second thoughts that is harsh on Jones. Delist and rookie

Whoever the tackling coach is. Either they dont know their craft or the players dont listen. We have been horrific all year.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
