I know Daniher last week on the footy show said that every game we play we play to win but sure this should not include 'minimising the damage' as well. We need to throw these kids to the sharks this week and let them sought it out.

    I think Petterd will play 100%

    Not sure about Buckley though

    Would love to see Buckley come to add some pace to try and break away from the congestion of the SCG / Sydney game style.

    So would I

    But we know Daniher wont play 2 first gamers

    Necessity, if nothing else, should mean that at least one will debut.

    But I tend to agree with YM, in that I am not sure Daniher will debut two in one week.

    It would be great to see them though.......

    Unlikely that either one of them will play if Neale Daniher sticks to his usual policy. Last year he delayed Matthew Bate's debut by a couple of weeks till after the Sydney game because he didn't want him to play his first game interstate.

    I am willing to bet my left [censored] that Petterd will play against the Swans!

    gee thats a gamble man..... i don't wanna lose my left [censored] ...

    i doubt pettard will play Buckley definitely wont

    the only reason pettard wont play i believe is because his debut will be made in Melbourne just like bates was...

    no wonder your name is krazyjay

    lol

    Petterd is from Queensland. I don't think him playing his first game in Sydney really matters.

    He must play this week. I agree Buckley is unlikely but I'm so frustrated that every team has played debutants this year except us!

    You'd be odds on to win, but,if you don't you might feel a little odd. :lol:

    buckley is 189cm, and move like the wind, so he has great tools to work with (judd is the same, similar players hopefully!!)

    play them both i say, give them a back flank each, and let them make it theirs for 10 years!!!

    Yep, seems that ND likes to have kids debut in their home state.

    From memory ND also had guys debut when named in the 18 (presumably so then their friends/family can be told etc without giving anything away?).

    That may be all well and good, but do we actually have the luxury of that option now, given the current state of affairs?

    And he (or they) could have debuted at any time in the last four weeks we have been playing in Melbourne.

    Lets play both Pettard and Buckley - it was only three games ago that Collingwood introduced three new players in the one game and the Pies have won two of the three games. And so what if the wins were against Richmond and Essendon - they were wins.

    We have nothing to lose - except another match.

    They will add pace and run thru the lines - something we desperately need.

    GO DEES

    Pettard, Buckley, Cj, Garland all in... Newton obviously not ready as he isnt performing well enough....

    How danners can continually pick Ward, Wheatley, Brown ahead of Cj astounds me... sure CJ was quiet in the first 2 games but how's he going to get better playing Ressies all year??? its a joke an absoulute disgrace... are we going to let him slip through at end of year to another club and watch him excel like we have seen with Jolly and Armstrong.........

    Same applies with Buckley and Pettard also Shane Valenti who should be on list... give them games... delist the dead wood for god's sake...... plan for 2008-2009.... not your own security Daniher......

  • Quote

    Wrong. I don't think Jolly and Armstrong have excelled at all. Armstrong is a fringe player at best for west coast and there's a fair chance he will get dropped when cousins, fletcher etc. come back into the team. As for Jolly, he just shares the ruck load with everitt. It is Scott Thompson woh we let go for barely nothing.

    I can't understand why ppl are calling for the youngsters to be played simply for the fact they are young.

    I'm not sure how footy clubs are run in your town but my old footy club and hopefully MFC, you have to earn your spot.

    Magpies did include 3 youngsters but from all reports, they've earnt their spot.

    Petterd while not setting the world on fire, has done enough to earn a spot. Buckley's 50/50. Don't mind if he gets a spot or gets another week at Sandy.

    Newton (Hasen't done enuf) and Garland (Ditto).

  • Quote

    What I would like to see:

    B: Warnock Carroll Ward

    HB: Brown Ferguson Bell

    C: C.Johnson Buckley Bruce

    HF: Green Miller Pettard

    F: Davey Dunn White

    R: Johnson Godfrey McDonald

    I.C: Sylvia, Pickett, Yze, Bizzell

    It wont happen tho

    I'm not saying I agree with it, simply that it's my observation of how ND deals with potential debutants =)

    No big surprise when you consider we've gained even more injuries during the week. It's like the friggin plague down there!

    Steven Quartermain on Ch.10 news just previewed the sport, and I quote:

    "More bad injury news for the Demons"...

    Woo, can't wait to hear who's injured now! :rolleyes: <_<

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
