    During yesterdays telecast Commettie (sp?) said somthing like if you are healthy on Melbournes and still not getting a game then you'd be wondering.

    Clint Bartram played one game this year after overcoming his ankle injury, then did his knee at training! :(

    Of the players who haven't played this year, 4 are rookies who can't be elevated as we've missed the cut-off date.

    Weetra has been injured most of the season, and Neville is still playing in the Sandy reserves.

    We're pretty much down to 24 players to select from this weekend.

    Correct. Good work Jaded, Bartram did play a game before injury this season.

    wouldn't mind giving shane neaves or even jace bode a go if we are really down to numbers.

    Wasn't aware of this, when was the cut-off date?

    Any word on Bruce's injury? Channel 7 said it was a hamstring at training but nothing more.

    It must be this week, if this is correct, since I heard one of the other clubs has elevated a rookie for next match.

    Alwyn Davey's on the long term injury list which allows Rama to stay on the senior list.

    We've got lots of long term injuries so it's :wacko: why we don't elevate Neaves. The best of the rookies and the only deserving.

    Is money the issue again as mfc can't scrounge up a few dollars to pay Neaves?

    I fail to see the point in upgrading someone simply for the sake of it.

    Neaves is way behind White & PJ in the pecking order. I wouldn't drop one of them for the sake of bringing in Neaves - what would it achieve? Not much IMO.

    Can see why people want to see youngsters, but it's going a bit far.

    True but Neaves is a playa i like to try. White's not a ruckmen anymore. He's a tall midfielder who can jump.

    A definite yes to Neaves. He's been very, very good at Sandy and I think a taste of AFL footy would just encourage him to work even harder. Not sure about Bode though.

    You'd think based on these numbers, and the way our best&Fairest is voted on, that Junior would be a short

    priced favorite to defend his prize...

    Fair enough, but it seems Jamar is being picked in front of Neaves for Sandy this week and it's a big step up.

    I imagine Neaves will be on the list next year, so I'm sure he'll get a chance if he's good enough.

    They also started Newton on the bench a couple of weeks ago

    I think Sandringham has at least one key forward not eligible to play for MFC while Jamar and Neaves are only competing against each other.

    Anyhow, I was just using at as an illustration of Neaves' stocks compared to PJ and White - right now he's a long way back, regardless of what some may say about White's ability as a ruckman.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
