    Poor Ricky is all over the news, as every media outlet feels the need to remind us all how close he came to dying.

    If he wants to take the rest of the year off, he should.

    However, Chris Fagan and our club doctors have said that he could be back this season.

    Get the feeling Bruce will probably play and Carroll should be alright.

    So changes should be simple this week. Out: Ricky, In: Bruce.

    What about Beamer? He's played a couple game in the ressies and I think he is a very important part of our future.

    You would not think there is much point in rushing Moloney back?

    But he's fit, he's played 2 games for Sandringham... :rolleyes:

    If he does not play again this year, that's almost two years out of the game. :unsure:

    He would want to make next year happen otherwise the game will pass him by.

    I wish him well.

    Given how much footy he has missed and IF he is fit then we should play him. He has missed a lot of football.

    Madness, how much game time has Beamer had in the past two weeks?

    Future being the operative word.

    He played one game for Sandy reserves and has just come into the Sandringham 1sts.

    I don't think he's fit enough yet; he's certainly not dominating at Sandy yet from what I've read.

    That's enough to be AFL match fit IMO, who cares if hes only performing average, we need to get some match fitness into him ASAP, I cannot begin to describe how underrated the importance of his presence in the team is, he's one of my favorite players so this might be a tad bias but still. :P

    In saying that, if the selection squad decide to give him 1 more week to prepare his body for AFL, then that's fine by me...

    Ben Holland (nose) - test

    Benny played against Tassie on the weekend. Is his nose only good at VFL level now?

    That or they can't be arsed removing his name from the list? :P

    David Neitz (hamstring) - test

    What the hell, at the end of last week he was 2-3 weeks. IMO there is no point in risking him, keep playing Newts at FF and give him as much experience as being one of the main foward targets.

    As for Moloney, i really hope he can shake this OP. When he's out on the park he's one of my favourite players, but he's got to get out there!

    what about pickett to return ,any chance?

    He was named emergency vs Carlton, and isn't injured.

  • Quote

    yes ...surely Neeta is a longer term probability..at least 3-4 ; absolutely no sense rushing back..might only harm the preseason and hence nest year.

    Ive been wonderig about Beamer for some time. Some hard and uneviable decision may be made by this club as certain realities may overtake hopes and aspirations.

    Carroll will be watched this week, but yod think hes better than evens to play.

    Retaining him would be a smarter choice than ditching him and getting an extra very low draft pick IMO.

    it wouldnt be a matter of choosing to let him go erally, it may simply come down to a reliabilty/value for money / he's using a player's spot etc etc. some decisions are unplatable...but necessary. At full tilt Beamer is a gun, 1/3 fit and its the knackery!! thats life :unsure::(:unsure:

    Surely it comes down to exactly that - choosing whether to let him go or keep him.

    As I said, I suggest retaining him is far better than getting a very low draft pick.

    If his fitness means we're having this discussion in a year's time then sure, maybe it's the end of road. Way too premature to do now IMO.

    I hear the sentiments..and I certainly hope he's on the mend. Otherwise really he's not adding to the equation, like it or not. If he doesnt play this year he will definitely be put under the microscope. This will sound harsh but there can be no rrom for pasengers in the team going forward, even if its a 1st class ticket !!

    Hypothetical, he's traded at yeas end ...how is irrelevent , but he affords some value posibly to another team prepared to take a punt, or.....his injuries force him to call it a day. No return.

    Its just a scenario....a plausible one even if not maybe probable.

    remember...its about the team

    I can see where you're coming from, but I imagine we both think it's not worth delisting Moloney on the evidence so far.

    I think Moloney's trade value would be extremely low, so I can't see that as an option. However, like any player I think that if the price is right we should look at trading. Moloney is one player where I can't see the market paying a price worth taking.

    Anyhow, let's hope he is on the mend :)

    agree.. would rather he came good :-)).. his penetratig kicks out of the middle , marked by a leading Newton....ah...we can dream :-).. thats a seriously lethal combination.. pin point kicking to a fella with glue dukes !! :-)

    • 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.
