Obviously it doesn't make a 50 point difference, but Yze was obviously underdone, probably shouldn't of even played in VFL this week. Michael Newton, in good form, some height as David Neitz, fully fit and ready to go... Why wasn't he played? It was quite obvious in that first half that we lacked height up forward....

Is it just me or does it sound completely stupid to play an injured, shorter Adem Yze over a fully fit and ready to go Michael Newton!?

That question makes my head hurt :mellow: .......

But I don't think the inclusion of Newton would have automatically won us this game.

There seem to be other, possibly greater, problems than his total lack of inclusion tonight.

As I said, he wouldn't of made the 50 point difference but it would of helped imo...

At the risk of being abuse, I don't think that was the problem.

Yze obviously passed a fitness test and he was the right call in a friday night game. I want Newton to get a game but Newton/Yze is not a like for like call FCS.

No Miller to blame so now its Yze fault. Give me a break,the whole team realy struggled tonight, including the coaching staff

This was not the game to bring Newton in, he needs to come in when Neitz is in the side

But shouldn't it have been?

I mean Yze was brought in for Neitz, while Newton, at least in size, is a hell of a lot more comparable.

Yze replaced Neitz in the final side so those supporting Newton have a case.

Yze just served up one of his typical spineless front running performances. When the pressures hot, Yze is not.

He should not have been selected period.

No Yze was a wrong selection period. The guy is a borderline footballer at best these days. How he could replace Neitz with the Yze he soft shoes a contest is beyond me.

IMO Newton should come in when he shows he can consistently apply his talent at Sandy.

I actually thought about that, without Miller who were we going to hold responsible to the loss.....

Unfortunately there were way to many people putting their hands up for that particular position.

I'll accept that KW to a point. Perhaps it is the predictability of the Neitz/Yze swap that has us cursing now, however as the game unfolded it was evident we had no viable tall target up forward. Having said that if Newton had kicked as many goals as Dutchy in that score we all would have thought he was the Mesiah.

Newton would have caught a cold out there tonight, the ball never went forward in the first half. We got smashed in the middle and down back.

Correct. With all our best mids except TJ & Moloney playing getting smashed in the clearances was the worst aspect of the first half.

I thought that maybe we had gotten over that in recent times, but we were appalling in the middle tonight.

the real essence of the selction problem for me , whilst acknowledging I'm a pro Newtonian, is that Danners picked some one who was obviously nowhere near 100% when he could have had an at least useful player ( whom doesnt even matter ) for most of the game as well as bench implications.

What the... was any of the selction panel thinking ?

That and Ooze obviously works to a different meaning of...ARE YOU FIT , RIGHT TO GO ?

We were never going to win with that forward line...

Juice should have been brought in to give us some size up forward...

PJ is good but cant kick 5 goals in a game... Daniher refuses to play White forward and Robbo is a gun but not when he is getting sought out ecvery thrust forward.....

Daniher is a joke and his selction commitee should have a big look at themselves after tnights selections...

Pickett - crap

Yze - Joke

Alternatively

juice could have been bloodied and at worse we would off known he wasnt ready and Whelan could have came back to play on Brown and psychologicaaly smash him from wanting to go near the ball...

Playing miller would have been better than Yze forward. At least he has some size......

And again when Melbourne are getting beaten and the cameras pan up to th coaches box, how much faith do we recieve looking at Danihers face...

He simply has no idea and needs to move along with some of his friends...

We have spme young tough exciting players in the team in Chook, Bater, Slylvia, Belly, Rivers, Moloney, Flash, Ricky Bobby, Jonesey and Juice and co put someone compatent in the drivers seat of the school bus to direct us to a p-ship contender whilst we still have the champion Neitz to kick our goals...

this is just the point...Danners doesnt think outside the box !! 99% of footy is above the shoulders.. that was what we needed to address with Brown.. The Tiges were pumped for him .. we neeed to deflate that.. box clever !!

Phsycologically? I doubt it, pretty evident IMO that we were the ones collectively shot between the eyes. I don't think Wheels would have made much difference given the ball was coming down with zero pressure.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
