Bennell is finished mate, no intensity what so ever.

Trains well though.

I tend to agree. i'd give him one more and a full pre-season to see where he is at. Coming off a multi-year hiatus, need to give him the benefit of doubt that his first year was always going to be like this.

Basically has been injury free, played a few games etc - we all knew he wasnt going to tear the house down.

    120 point spread for me we could win by 10 goals or lose by 10 goals but +1 would be fine thanks.

    Is that 17 changes in 3 games?

     

     

    Nothing to see here, all under 

    Basically we need to be ruthless and cut quite a few from the list almost to the point of rebuilding. At this stage we seem to be going in circles.

    People said the same things re 6 changes before the St. Kilda game. Thought it would be obvious to most the side looked flat and tired during the Swans game and now it's a four day break, needed a freshen up. Can't understand why Lockhart is not playing though.

    Bennell is a punt. The club haven’t risked a whole lot but there’s plenty of upside if he comes right. There are a few others on the list who have hit their ceiling and should be let go before Bennell. Worth persevering with for another year imv.

    Probably the best lot of changes we have made this year, however Smith should not be in the squad, and he should be in the forward line if selected. Unfortunately Goodwin has made these changes too late in the year when he really needed to make them earlier in the year, his biggest fault is that he is too slow to make change. It gives me relief to see Jones, Spargo, Wagner and Omac out of the side,  4 massive spuds [I still love Jones though]

    Finally we may not have a slow plodder on the wing for once!! Ain't it amazing to see Goodwin elect genuine wingers to play on the wing

    Yep and yep. Not quite sure why its taken so long to inject some pace though

    His intensity is a worry but he seems to be the only one who can hit a target in the fwd line

    No. I think they are great changes and you see these players will give 100% instead of the spuds we had in last week

    Wow you're more confident of a good outcome this week than me.

    What's more they are ever decreasing circles deever and we run the risk of finishing with our head totally up own [censored].

    i just can't see how we're going to compete with their depth of midfielders

    fyfe, mundy, walters, brayshaw, serong, cerra

    vs

    oliver, petracca, viney, langdon

    we're going to be VERY reliant upon melksham, avb, anb, tomlinson, baker and perhaps even salem and rivers contributing well

    Does anyone else question anb being in the team?

    weekly but he wasnt the worst player out there last week and probably deserves his spot for this week only. + no other alternatives (i imagine spargo is more of a management than a dropped) i like his pressure. i want to see him get some continuity in the side

    What do we lose from Jones, O Mac, Harmes, Wagner, Brown and Spargo - very little based on recent output.  Gus is the only one that hurts but he has had an OK season only

    coming in with have experience and hardness with Vanders and Hibbo. excitement and speed with Kozzi and Bedford. and who knows with Baker, Hunt and Pruess

    Go 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.
