Best case:

In: Frawley, McLean, Newton, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Brown, Dunn, Ferguson (inj.), Miller, Ward

Brown - Not good enough any more. Doesn't hit many targets.

Dunn - I know not many people will be happy, but I think his form has dropped off in the last couple weeks. Still too timid when there is a contested situation. Would only drop him for Newton.

Ferguson - Let Hansen dominate the first few minutes. Injured anyway.

Miller - Takes a good mark on the lead but never goes the right option. If he wants to keep handballing to out of position players let him do it at Sandy.

Ward - Unaccountable. At one stage Bruce took a mark out of bounds, so it was a WCE free kick. While Bruce stood the mark Ward totally ignored Bruce's man who ran to the pocket. Instead Ward ran over to take over from Bruce on the mark. He then pointed out Bruce's man to him. By this stage the WCE player had spotted up the spare man. WCE goal. Ward, you were the closest player, you should have picked up the man. You are not a team player. Everytime you take possession you slow things down and the resulting kick is usually sideways.

 

Awesome changes

Once again, a Demonland poster comes up with better than anything the MFC selectors could put together

 

There isn't a single good reason to drop Dunn. He is learning to play the wing, and doing a good job.

If Robbo, McLean and Rivers are fit, they will come in for Miller, Brown and Ferguson who is injured.

Frawley should debut in favour of Ward, or Rivers if he isn't fit.

Newton won't play.

Changes -

Frawley for Ferguson

Robertson for Miller

McLean for Brown

Rivers for Ward //Injury Update indicates he'll return this week

Team -

B: Frawley Carroll Whelan

HB: Petterd Holland Bell

C: Dunn Bruce Green

HF: Bate Robertson Davey

F: Sylvia Neitz Yze

R: White McLean Johnstone

INT: PJohnson McDonald Jones Godfrey

Excluding Bartram and perhaps Moloney, this is just about our best side.


just get rid of miller, cant stand him. never makes the right decision always handballs! cant he kick? include ward and brown and get a new backline coach, kick ins are like jon dorotich in his day, straight to the opposition.

B: WHELAN, CARROLL, HOLLAND

HB: PETTARD, RIVERS, C.JOHNSON

C: JOHNSTONE, MCLEAN, DAVEY

HF: GREEN, BATE, SYLVIA

F: ROBERTSON, NEITZ, NEWTON

FOLL: WHITE, BRUCE, MCDONALD

IC: YZE, GODFREY, WHEATLEY, P.JOHNSON

EMERG: JONES, BELL, BIZZELL

Holland can play on Brown or Petrie.

Please stop playing Ward and Brown they are way past there used by date.

I don't think that there is a worse player in the AFL than Miller never play him again [censored] him off to Brisbane. Sherman can't get a game he's from Victoria. We should make a swap there.

I really hope that Bell makes it as a footballer but the more I see him the more unlikely it seems. Makes too many mistakes and a total lack of vision.

Dunn and Jones need time at Sandy to get some confidence and game time.

Hopefully they will play McLean and Robertson in the seniors. What a joke it was to see Robertson at Sandy ? You would have thought we were flying on top of the ladder by not playing Robbo. We haven't been able to kick goals all year and not to play him against a side he has a good record against when they continue to persist with the likes of Miller is beyond belief. Newton should be considered as well we are not kicking goals and he is kicking goals at Sandy. If he doesn't get a kick put him straight back in the Sandy team. Nobody who has kicked as many goals for Sandy as Newton has should be left out of the team when we are .1% from the bottom.

There isn't a single good reason to drop Dunn. He is learning to play the wing, and doing a good job.

If Robbo, McLean and Rivers are fit, they will come in for Miller, Brown and Ferguson who is injured.

Frawley should debut in favour of Ward, or Rivers if he isn't fit.

Newton won't play.

gee i hate people saying newton wnt play although i know it is true... i like optimism

as for dunn he does not deserved to get dropped may have made a few mistakes but every time a young player trys to learn you cant just drop him.... give the guy a good chance hes been far from our worst...

I agree. We need change in order for any form of success.

go apply for a job at the MFC selectors bored! brilliant selections! too bad it may never happern though :angry:


too bad it may never happern though :angry:

it MAY???

IT WONT EVER happen as if ND would make these kind of changes as much as we want them to be like that

IN: NEWTON, ROBERTSON, BUCKLEY, RIVERS

OUT: MILLER, FERGUSON, WARD, BROWN

Our season is over and ND knows it. It is time to start playing the younsters, let them gain experience at afl level just like port did last year.

Newton has shown great form over the last few weeks at sandy, and deserves his spot over Miller who has been useless

Robbo is an easy in, he adds so much to our structure and will straighten us up

Rivers is also an easy in, he is our best defender

Buckley should come into replace ward or brown as we need to blood the youngsters

Ward and Brown are both similar players and their disposal is not up to scratch

Mclean and Frawley should come in, but i still think Brock isn't ready and Frawley needs to find some fitness and should be considered in 2 weeks

My changes

In: Frawley, McLean, Newton, Rivers, Robertson, Moloney

Out: Ferguson (inj.), Bruce, Green, Brown, Miller, Ward

B - Whelan Carroll Bell

HB - Pettard Rivers Frawley

C - Johnstone Jones Davey

HF - Robertson Neitz Dunn

F - Newton Sylvia Yze

R - White McDonald McLean

I/C - P.Johnson Moloney Yze Godfrey

People are, quite clearly, losing the plot.

I've read that we should drop Dunn and Jones, and yet everyone is screaming at Daniher to play the youngsters.

I've read that Neita should be dropped so that Newton can get a game.

Now Bruce and Green? How will we get their trade value up if we don't play them in the senior Y_M? :rolleyes:

Everyone needs a strong drink and a lie-down I think.

out : Ferguson, Miller, Brown, Ward

In: Rivers, Newton, McLean, CJ


All these changes, changes, changes ...

Dunn out, Miller down back, trade Bruce, etc ...

Fact is, we don't know who can and can't play any more.

The team's confidence is shot. They've bulked down and are confused about the game plan. How can any player be expected to show what he's got without clear and strong vision from the football department?

It's every man for himself and they're suffering for it.

This will continue until a new coach emerges like a beacon on a dark night.

Agreed.......plus everyone saying bring in Frawley like he is some great white hope!

If he comes in and has a shocker, the same people would want him out the next week!

Drop Miller, hopefully he will get over his serious case of handballitus <_<

Or perhaps because they think Warnock's had a few runs and hasn't done much. Ferguson played last week and broke his thumb.

On the flip side, Frawley was looking like a starter come round one, but was injured before the season commenced.

Good to see everyone's changes.

Now, here is my predicition of the MFC selector's changes:

In: McLean, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Fergeson, Pettard, Ward


Best case:

In: Frawley, McLean, Newton, Rivers, Robertson

Out: Brown, Dunn, Ferguson (inj.), Miller, Ward

Brown - Not good enough any more. Doesn't hit many targets.

Dunn - I know not many people will be happy, but I think his form has dropped off in the last couple weeks. Still too timid when there is a contested situation. Would only drop him for Newton.

Ferguson - Let Hansen dominate the first few minutes. Injured anyway.

Miller - Takes a good mark on the lead but never goes the right option. If he wants to keep handballing to out of position players let him do it at Sandy.

Ward - Unaccountable. At one stage Bruce took a mark out of bounds, so it was a WCE free kick. While Bruce stood the mark Ward totally ignored Bruce's man who ran to the pocket. Instead Ward ran over to take over from Bruce on the mark. He then pointed out Bruce's man to him. By this stage the WCE player had spotted up the spare man. WCE goal. Ward, you were the closest player, you should have picked up the man. You are not a team player. Everytime you take possession you slow things down and the resulting kick is usually sideways.

Ward has been one of our better players all year. Take him out and we have absolutely no run from our defence.. If Ward was to go then Green would have to be played as a permanent back flanker who floats across the backline and runs and carries because Green is no good in the midfield. Should be played in a Goddard type roll and i guarantee this would rejuvenate his career.

we lose wards run but gain when he doesnt kick it to an opponent after he has run with it, which then gets kicked to his player standing at the 50 who strolls in for an easy goal

Dunn and Jones need time at Sandy to get some confidence and game time.

Are you for real???? Nathan Jones is one of the few MFC players who is able to hold his head high this year - he gives his all everytime he pulls on the red and blue jumper. Remember he is 19 and was injured earlier in the year. Get serious mate - others should go before you start pointing the sword at Jonesy.

R. J.White J.McDonald C.Bruce

Int. S.Godfrey, P.Johnson, B.Green, L.Dunn

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
