    Too many kids Danhausen, you don't want to curse them or burn them out with overreliance early on

    INV. Taj might be a chance in a couple of years ( games perhaps)  not a star but very solid, just needs a couple of pre seasons and more game time. 
    He will be a lock for the 22. 
     

    why do we play guys who have been injured and rush them straight back in.

    Moniz - yes, forward or back he’s worth a go soon. Personally now we have defensive options with Salem, Bowey and Woey we should chuck Moniz forward at Casey and see if he can produce some 20 touches, 5 tackle, 2 goal games 

    Jefferson, Adams, Verrall - no way, not physically ready and losing their match up most weeks at vfl. They’d get smoked at afl level. 

    Kolt and Kynan Brown - maybe soon, but absolutely no rush with either, they are working on their craft as mid/forwards at Casey.

    Sestan - no for now. He can earn a debut in the back end of the year if he’s consistent at vfl level but I don’t think he’s a medium forward at afl level, he’s a high half forward/mid and that means building that tank, a lot!

    Who for?

    Drop the kids to play the kids?

    This was always going to happen - a completely inert performance from a bunch of blokes playing a new way off defensive transition.

    Progress isn’t linear.

    Hopefully picking half Casey's squad will help us match their fine achievements this year.

    Like when Port reunited the Mark Neeld All Stars of Barry, Toumpas, Trengove and Watts.

    None of those players listed are much good and none are physically ready, otherwise they would be playing already.

    The fact that Howes and Billings are regular selections despite being consistently ordinary proves this. 

    I'm hopeful on Brown, not confident on Tholstrup and resigned to the rest not making it.

    Because when we lose some people get very angry and want to sack everyone 

    Thats what the Gameday thread appears to be for.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
