Brayshaw is doing his job. I saw him get a few key takeaways from centre bounces and he plays a bit more on the wing than others.

We don't need everyone racking up huge possessions, though it seems some Demonlanders would like 22 players with 30 touches each....

I'd prefer if he laid a tackle. 0 tackles is pretty poor for a midfielder.

    From a prolific ball winner to a meat and potatoes player. 

    That’s not ‘developing’.

    We need midfield depth. Trade Brayshaw and next year the depth is Jones, Sparrow or Jordon. 

    Sparrow & Jordan look likely to break into the team soon anyway both are developing nicely and both bring something a little different to our mids

    Jordan will get a game soon.  Gives us some things we are missing.

    Sparrow I fear wont play any time soon... hes an inside mid and theres simply no room for him.  I like his game though, and his time will come eventually.

    100% with jordan

    I still like the look of sparrow, good size, clean hands, hard nut mentality, reads the ball exceptionally well and foot skills arent terrible

    What does Jordan offer @DurriePirate, comparatively to others?

    Similar athleticism as J.Smith, bit of extra leap and lateral agility than most but can actually use the ball in hand.

    His disposal is VFL at best. His last piece of play contained 3 mistakes finishing with missing a 3 metre handball by 5 metres.

    Another poor game today. 9 disposals, 2 tackles. Only 65% game time. Perhaps there’s concussion or management issues? He looks unsettled, unhappy, unsure of his role and lacking confidence in everything he does.

    An absolute liability and is being carried. Cant explain his performance or hs attitude. Both stink. Must be traded at the end of the year, clubs will want him and we will get something of value. 

    Really disappointing player. 9 Disposals 2 tackles and 70 m gained.. thats not good enough.  The heat goes on Oliver and teh kid tries his guts out every week and generally plays really well. When will teh heat come for this bloke?

    Gone, Must be traded no Good if he gets selected next week something is seriously bad at MFC!

  • Quote

    He's gone. What's he worth? Teams like Carlton, Essendon, Saints, maybe even Swans who need an inside mid would be keen, but what's he worth?

    Unfortunately Oliver, Petracca and Viney crowd out any other midfielders because they are possession beasts. Angus has obviously been required to take another role . Being an outside mid tonight for us , you were on a hiding to nothing, because their midfield clearances negated his opportunities. MAybe a little more flexibility from our ruckman (who is terrific ) would enable us to go over their midfielders heads and bring the outside mids into play more.

    At one stage tonight the commentators remarked how difficult the role of wingman is in modern football . ( at the time he was referring to Robinson and Langford( who both came into the game later on)   If the ball is going through the other side of the ground the Wingmansrole is to cut off the switch (even by just being in position. No stats there though !! SO maybe Gus is playing a low possession role for the benefit of the team.

    He’s your hobby horse is he? [censored] canned him in game day thread (“disgrace to the jumper” was you exact [censored] poor post) and first person to jump in this thread on him. 
     

    Wasnt great but certainly not our worst. He does need to play midfield or it’s bust.

    What do you reckon cards13

    Taking a dispassionate view, he is not contributing enough when we lose, or have close finishes - plays well when we win - we need a better all round contributor in his place on the ground so need to trade him while he has value for someone that can deliver a more consistent return

    Excuses.

    He was by far our worst player tonight.

    That about sums it up for me LT.  He looked as if he was in about 2nd gear most of the night and was sooking it up coming off the ground.  His attitude is the pits and not a great look for those around him, particularly the rookies.  Time to look elsewhere while he still has a modicum of value.

    Something has to change because what is currently happening doesn't work for anyone.

    It needs to be a change to his role on-field, attitude or both, but there needs to be a change.

    Send him to Freo. He and Hogan can reunite and carry on with their off field shananigans like they were doing in Melbourne. 
     

    it’s funny ... there’s always a pattern

    You reckon he's this years Hogan or Watts mate?

    I’d trade at years end and try and get back into the first round. Be surprised if he get us that though. He’s second round at best right now.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
