Why oh why wouldn't we draft him for a year ot two???

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Still 38 point lead but each team has scored a goal.

[dees189227 12,453]

BBB goal talley?

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Harmes and Bowey just far far too good for this level.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Tomlinson is in some sort of form. Must be brought back next week. Same for Jake Melksham just too good for that competition.

[WERRIDEE 5,572]

Good last quarter to get it back to 40 points. Melksham superb agree that he should be in the team this week. Turner and Tomlinson controlled the back half. Brown great first half quiet second half probably needs another game in the 2's. Harmes was excellent.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

A nice boost for the Demons after a few weeks of below par performances.

Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time 

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Bowey had 12 marks & Turner 14 were both very solid down back.

[dees189227 12,453]

Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change

You hate Melksham as much as Picket hates Spargo take your blinkers off.

[DeeSpencer 26,272]

Bowey and Disco probably best on. But both probably more good than great. Bowser didn’t exactly carve them up with ball use. And Disco dropped a few marks (probably could’ve had 10-15 intercepts) and occasionally made odd decisions with the ball.

Woey the best mid for the first half, played exclusively wing and was quieter in the second half.

Harmes ok. Dunstan in and out. Spargo had his moments but he’s trying to do too much rather than linking up. His defensive intensity was a cut above early thought. Laurie, the classy moments are great but there’s too many slow or not physical enough to get from traffic moments, played almost always forward, way too much Munro and White on ball today.

Verrell competed strongly in the ruck and tackled well. But he was playing 2 shortish stints per quarter and running on fumes quickly which wasn’t a surprise.

BBB - maybe? Certainly holding marks and looking more sure of foot. Can a ruck miss a week so we don’t lose mobility?

Howes - can he just step up and demand selection already. He’s such a pure mover and kick. Contest work just isn’t there yet.

I don’t hate him, he’s just not an AFL footballer in any role but sub or defensive undersized tall any more.

He hasn’t made appropriate defensive efforts or won ground balls for years and snagging a few goals in a comfortable win against out classed opposition doesn’t impress me.

This is the equivalent of saying could Melksham come in for Steven May. 

[Jaded No More 68,975]

Bowey playing for Casey, when we can’t hit a target, is a criminal offense.

Agreed yet ironically some of his kicking tonight was ghastly

[binman 44,521]

Damn, forgot this game was on tonight.

Tried to get to the replay without seeing the score - to no avail.

Agree 100% DeeS although will get a few sad and vomit emojis but we were in front last night by 7 points and Goody brought his love child on in the last and what happened. He did nothing and the team did nothing. He also did nothing in the two's. Surely most now will realise for a small he has no pace, doesn't kick goals and IMO is not up to AFL standard.

SUB??? He replaces Chandler No questions asked😃

Please no...he does well at Casey but offers zero tackling pressure.

...we can't afford that at AFL level.

I'm with 'Red', he's probably played himself into the sub role.

A good first up effort I thought 'Dee'...

...has missed a lot of football but there's a lot to like about him.

When he gets his fitness levels up I reckon he will add a more to his game.

Can see him as a very mobile ruck/forward.

[titan_uranus 25,174]

Some food for thought for selection next week - Bowey, Tomlinson, Melksham, Brown all putting their hands up.

Also appears to have put on a lot of upper body size while in rehab.
