I have a weird feeling we’re going to kick straight tomorrow……18.6, or something like that!

Does this make you a weirdo @The Panglossian ?

Thought I read somewhere Richmond might be keen. Could make sense with the Yze connection.

Really wanted us to give him a proper run at it. Just the one game as sub for 20 minutes this year after outperforming all of Tholstrup, Sharp, Billings and Henderson is ridiculous.

that makes sense. they need players and are young so he should get more opportunities

Why name someone, anyone if no real intent ?

Tmac not named but will now play.

All smacks of B.S.

    What uninspiring selection, (though Sharp is a blessing) What exactly to look forward to this week?

    Win well - big talent gap should be thunping these guys. Some of the younger players play well, some dont

    Win small - lucky to win, will get easily beaten by the better teams. None of the younger players play well.

    Lose - Meltdown. Hardly anyone plays well [Insert here] is underperforming and needs to be traded.

    Not to say I dont want to win, but surely we need to use the next 8 weeks to learn something about our list, positional and roles if you are "rebuilding"

    Spose I should wait for gametime and die of shock when May or Turner goes to FF, given their KPFs are worse than ours. No excuse not to put up 16 goals+ if the weather is fine.

    Sadly I think we already know about our list, it ain’t great after the first 15. Play Jefferson for the next few weeks ? I don’t think you will see much difference. He hasn’t turned out as hoped. Drafting is not an exact science.

    this makes no sense, we have already robbed one of our most loyal players ever the chance to play 250 games, well done to all involved..... still have no clue why he got dropped he was our second best defender at that point in the season and one of the few in the team who was actually playing well. dan turner to carry us tmr like he has every game this season, hope he is resigned because he is worth double then what he was before

    I almost invariably back team selections by our Match Committee (who are much better placed than any of us to make these calls) but I will make the observation that Fritta will need to serve up a much, much better effort than his ‘limp wet lettuce’ performance in Adelaide. He is much better than that!

    Last week I watched a far bit of the Casey game. Kentfield has what Jefferson doesn’t have Intensity! Players either have it or they don’t. We need to play Kentfield before seasons end. After a poor preseason he has shown improvement through the season. He looks like he wants the ball and he plays get out of way I am coming through.

    Unfortunately the feeling at this time of year has been unrivalled since about 2015 in terms of the flatness and irrelevancy of the rest of our season (2019 we were raveled with injuries). At least then we were building. Now we have a super talented team who don't appear to give a stuff.

    Goodwin still refuses to drop underperforming veterans because he wants to clock irrelevant wins against lower sides for his own win-loss record and survival, when he should be playing other fringe players and youngsters to see whether they're up to it. This will be detrimental to our season next year and leave us with little depth.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
