I like Hunt, last few weeks have been a bit poor but he's not alone there. Couple of brain-fades last week seemingly cost him.

Think he is still capable of playing good footy when everyone fit and firing, just last few weeks the backline been impacted by injuries and Lever being a bit out of sort. 


 

A 2 disposal game doesn’t warrant selection 

 

Lads seem very happy with the announcement

    Been some good footballers over the years from Albury. Reckon he might be another.

    Go well Disco!

    that was bloody unreal.  after the week we've had this is exactly what we all need.

    The group is so pumped for him.  Great to see guys like Weed and Majak being so happy for him when they are out of the side. No sooking it up

    We are clearly a club that is in disarray. RIP.

    Hope it doesn't mean Petty is out.

    Me too.

    Hopefully it's just a matter of dropping Tomlinson who had no answers for Sam Reid (who decided to play his first dominant game since 2015) rather than Turner replacing an injured Petty.

    We've come a long way since we debuted another player on Queen's Birthday. Instead of being an over-hyped PR gesture it seems this time we're blooding someone who's (hopefully) ready.

    I have been shocked at the development of this kid, don't be surprised if he really makes this spot his own. 

    He's a very capable one on one defender but his reading of the play is very good and knows when to peel off. 

    if he's come in for Adam Tommlinson it could really suggest it's going to be harder and harder for Tommo to gain a spot as a defender in this team

    I suspect that Petty will be given until Monday to prove his fitness. If fit, poor old Tommo comes out. If not fit, Tommo will keep his place in the side.

    Hunt was the scapegoat.  But others have been underperforming. 
    BBB is lucky that Tmcd is injured and Weid is “too nice a boy”. 
    Mitch Brown remains to provide some target. 

    Tomlinson stays in until May is back.
    Spargo lucky to stay in imv. I’d give Bedford the chance.

    Good luck to disco. I hope he's replacing Tommo and not Petty.

    Good selection

    Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

    Big game in the context of the season

    In full agreement. ☝️

    It's more about Petty possibly being injured than the lack of form from Tommo.


    Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back.

    I’m taking it as a positive that Petty was kind of jumping around in the group and getting amongst it after Turner’s debut announcement.

    Turner in. Petty must be listed as highly doubtful 

    Presumably it means that Turner is in for Tomlinson, who then becomes emergency in case Petty doesn't get up.

    Hibberd takes Hunt's place.


    Turner is listed at 192 and 194cm on his profile, any ideas what it is?

    The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height.

    • 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.
