Ward's disposal yesterday was terrible in the style of game the MFC is trying to play their is no room in the 22 for him, he just turns the footy over a large percentage of the time. The only way I would play him is if we have to due to injury or he gets a job on someone. You just can't have someone in your team that consistantly turns the footy over, this goes for Nathan Brown as well, I'd rather see Bell, CJ and Buckley play than Ward and Brown.

    Im not saying Ward is the same type of player BTW, Im just of the opinion he is a better footballer and his positives outweigh the negatives.

    Go Wardy.

    Ward is a better footballer than who, Godfrey? Yes. Bell? No.

    Bell has two things Ward doesn't, defensive ability and good disposal.

    Ward's main redeeming quality is his pace, but he is mainly a 'run and bomb it as far as you can' player.

    He makes my side until Bartram is fit.

    One thing is certain, I would hate to see more than one of Ward/Brown/Bizzell in the backline at any one time.

    Franky we've been down this road before. At this point in time I reckon Danners agrees with me (or the other way round :rolleyes: ). Let's hope we are right as then everyone will be happy.

    BTW, where do you stand on Yze?

    I know who played well and bad at geelong because i went.

    i had to sit there for three hours sorrounded by cats so i was watching.

    robbo: played well but alot of stupid things kicked a great goal though:

    tried alot of chess marks in stead of hand marks but he did play well.

    Johnston : "BOG"

    C Johnson: he really played well in my book and if he plays like that he'll be in their best 22

    Davey : C R A P. played the worst game ever. tried a speckey which cost them a goal, he jumped 2 seconds to early

    Moloney : Certainatly played one of the best for Melbourne, made bartel look crap (even though he had a good game)

    Ling (geelong) : worst game ever i saw him hit 2 kicks on the chest and they were pretty much both dropped so it made him look him even worse.

    Neitz: pretty well just a bit shy , 2 goals

    Ward, whelen and N jones all played acceptional

    well gota keep an eye on them

    GOOO THE DEMONS

    • 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.
