    I read this as the best Quarter that we have played this season… 

     

    Anyway, Petty is not replaced by Turner after one game from the XVIII.

    Why not? He played 70% of one game. Bowey's been named and he only played 48% of one game!

    Love your work Werridee! I keep imagining your house with different team lineups on with every window.

    I feel like a voyeur when Werridee gets his selection on.

    still searching for key forwards 

    JVR is jumping a lot but has dropped 90% of his attempts. We will keep him in at the promise of better times.  
    BBB is physically not up to week by week footy.  Save him for September?? 
    Petty is not a natural forward and lacks confidence.  We are trying to turn a premiership defender into a patchwork forward. 
    TMCD looks more comfortable in defence but so did Petty and Petty makes less mistakes.  
    Schache was very soft and shown he’s a VFL quality player.  
    ??? Jefferson is in development but looking very iffy right now.  
     

    others have not yet cemented places.  Salem started ok but was poor in games before getting injured. He will be back and in but I’m looking for huge improvement in him across pace and skills. Sparrow lacks pace and is not a half forward. Bench player on rotation. Chin is in and out.  Up and down. Bench at best.  Howes is versatile  and will be a player.    Billings is ok.  Just ok.  Woey jnr needs more games.  
     

    options.
    Mcadam once fit can play half forward and kick goals.  We need more firepower.  Yes we will try Disco Turner.  Love his attitude to compete.  
    AMW must be given a chance soon.  
    Tholstrup is not ready yet.  More VFL time.

    Bowey is a premiership winning player. Turner has taken three impressive marks, to good kicks, and one lucky handball.

    I was just joking around.

    It's an interesting exercise, I'/ think it is meant to be "what our best 22 is, based on past history and the first quarter of the season" but it could equally be interpreted as "our best 22 in 2024 so far".

    If Bowey is there, we could also be making a case for Melksham and Brown if fit.

    Brown has played and shown he’s a vital part of the team , then well dropped off and then nudda. He should be kept on ice until September

    Geez Louise, I’m not peeping through his window or anything like that. No need to, I suppose. He flagrantly gets his best team out for all to see. Even starts a new thread for it. 🤭

     I get the context in the comparison with Bowsa but your appraisal of Disco is harsh.

    Looking forward for Bowey to come back.

    In the pre season he was shaping up to be a K Coleman quarterback type elite kicker from half back that would set up the field.

    To miss 9-10 weeks is a shocking result for what appeared to be a text book collarbone 4 week injury on the night.

    BBP - you will be getting the "shocking injury management MFCCS" posters out of the woodwork.  I never recall any fractured clavicle being ready for the rigors of top grade footy in under 6-8 weeks.  Correct me if I am wrong.

    Not having a go at the club for mismanagement or miscommunication. Just disappointed for the kid (and our defensive structure)

    On the night it was assumed he'd done his collarbone, but unfortunately scans proved worse.

    A bit like how I opened this thread thinking it was about the best all-in team effort we've had during a quarter of any match so far, that is precisely how your earlier post read.

    He's loss is very underestimated among supporters. 

    I'm a huge wrap for him and I think he was going to be our designated elite distributor off half similar to as you you have already said in Kiddy Coleman.

    His ability to pick out the right options up the field amongst the chaos is elite.

    If it was me, I wouldn't even have him go through the VFL when he's ready to go. Straight unto the AFL side for me.

    Gee, that ****** we've found at CHF is a gun.

    IMHO no team in the AFL has a flawless list or * power in every position.   It's about making what you've got work.

    "lucky" handball?

    it was the most impressive handball of the game and very deliberate ... watch the replay

    Agree DC I have watched it a number of times that handball had a touch of brilliance, no luck involved, he handled that ball like a 100 game star.

    It was to be clear, we have not found a CHF or FF on a consistent basis.  
    JVR is young and we will persist but he needs to take the simple marks (dropping most marks at the moment). Petty is not the answer.  Schache is not the answer. Tmcd is not the answer.  Turner was good v Tigers but likely is makeshift (he’s really a prototype Lever interceptor). Jefferson is young and not developing as we would like.  Brown is on last very last legs.  

    We are competing against teams with quality key forwards Curnow-McKay, Daniher, Cameron-Hawkins, Hogan, Mihocek.

    • 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.
