    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
