Rosman concussion? Looked like the bump didn’t get him high

Didn't appear that way but came off with a blood nose. Must have had some high contact that wasnt obvious on the coverage.

    I’d be comfortable with Tomlinson back in. Turner could be one pre season away from exploding as well. He’s looked great all year at VFL. 
     

    Geez that forward line does sound refreshing!

    I'd had Turner ahead of Tomlinson. Most of the damaging AFL key forwards are either mobile (Curnow, Cameron, Naughton, Hipwood, Daniher, Riewoldt, McKay) or beasts {Lynch, Hawkins). Tomlinson is a straight ahead player with poor agility. I don't see him as an AFL defender any more.

    its a joke we played Hunt ahead of Bowey

    Looked a medial for Tom. 

    I think we simply can't plan around TMAC being available next year. If we can't find a KPF, then we find another mobile KPD and play Petty forward.

    I see what you’re saying. But I think you’re writing Tomlinson off too soon. It’s his first year back from an ACL.

    He’s bounced back on to the ground.

    I’d say ideally McDonald and JVR could be good for 22 between them if not both of them.

    Definitely would love a Brown/Jackson replacement in addition to the 2 bigs.

    Wakefield has been awesome. So exciting. Has a bit of Fritta about him. 
     

    Mitch Brown is an amazing VFL player. I think we should delist him but Casey should sign him up. He looks like he can play 10 more years at this level.

    Just means you're not developing a forward.

    He's not a tall so he's not much good for training small forwards.

    Winning is nice but it's not really the main reason why we have a VFL team

    And as some pointed out last week the VFL salary cap is so low he could make more money playing in the suburban league

    I expect JVR will play much less VFL next year and the prospect of Weideman is well, not the best. 
    There is plenty of space to develop another tall both forward and in the ruck.

    A brilliant performance. The tackling and hardness at the ball a real stand out. 
    Casey doing us proud after last night’s very disappointing effort.

    Weird has shown plenty the last couple of games as a ruck forward.

    Be interested to see him played in that role for the pre season and into next. Just might be his future role at AFL level.

    Couldn’t play him, Tmac and Brown in the same forward line but you could play him Tmac and JVR who has a lot more mobility and much better below his knees

    The ruckwork of T Mac and JVR when up forward has me thinking that Max plays 85% game time as a pure ruckman, and T Mac and JVR could share the other 15%. Ditch the idea of playing Max up forward. 

    I've liked how Weid has developed as a ruckman, but he's not good enough as an AFL forward.

    JVR is so cute. Spoke like a true first year player. Get him a girlfriend ASAP so he doesn’t contemplate doing a Jackson!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
