    Reasin being?

    Must say i am a bit perplexed with this decision.. Sparrow in my opinion has looked out of his depth during the JLT games.

    With injuries and suspension in the backline that’s a big out of correct.

    For all of his aging legs he is still the best general we have down back.

    Unfortunately I think Lewis is cooked, so I’m happy with this.  Hibbo and Nev are experienced enough to direct the back line

    Is that why he’s a late withdrawal?

    From the kids Jordon looked more likely from jlt. 

    Sparrow had 4 touches in the half he played. Maybe he played better for casey?

  • Quote

    If the reason is something like 'hamstring soreness' it might just be the toll of the heat and humidity and his lack of speed will be exacerbated in those conditions?  Just guessing.

    I just hope Sparrow has a reasonable game then gets a good go at it.  I still have nightmares of the Petty selection last year.

    If this is true and I have yet to see any evidence of such then it is a ridiculous decision. Sparrow looked like he was no where near ready. I would bring kielty in.

    Just now, whatwhatsaywhat said:

    Sparrow was very good in the practice game against a fairly strong Pies unit

     

     

    Yes he was.   Look forward to seeing him debut tomorrow.

    I would rather Lewis tho - he was good all preseason

    Huge stretch mate.. he had about 4 touches for 2 qtrs and had the fumbles. Way out of his depth that game.

    Like replacing Godzilla with Bambi, but he deserves a crack, bring it on.

    Must have ANB as his mentor.

    I'm not sure he deserves a crack, but he will have a crack, that's for sure

    Fair enough. Who else could they have bought in?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy he's in. No-one else has been banging the door down, but neither was he (from what we've seen).

    Stretch must be hanging on by a thread.

    Very unlikely to see Stretch on the G again. Great heart, great trainer, not so great on the skills & footy brain required to compete and win at the next level unfortunately. Wish him all the best.

    • 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.
