Just being smashed around the ball and turnovers are killing any good work we do. Without May it could be seriously ugly. We are missing the Maynard’s, JKH, Sparrowe, Stretch.

You have to do more than tackle DD. if you are a forward the idea is to get the ball and hopefully score not to stop someone running off with the ball you should have had in the first place.

That why I mentioned he had more touches than the blokes he is competing with. And kicked a goal. Tackling is key to small fwd role so it’s obvious why he kept his spot this week. Having said that if there are fwds playing well in the twos and he doesn’t improve soon he probably will be dropped soon as the bar is pretty low at the moment

New recruit Kyle Dunkley is having a quiet debut  - four possessions.

Yeah he is. Give him the year in Casey and see what he can do

Needs to adapt to the scientifically, complex Melbourne game plan systems.

Isn’t the whole point of mid season draft to find ready made players who can fill a specific need?  What’s the point of the draft if the player just continues playing in the same league as he was previously?

As I understand it the Midseason draft needs a lot of refinement. Teams have to be careful who they draft because of caps,  contracts and relocation fees make it an unattractive prospect. It may be why so many clubs passed.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
