Yeah drop Buckley, farkin great youth policy that is... :rolleyes:

Bucks is an emergency. I've heard a whisper that a player listed in the starting 18 might not come up. So my guess is Bucks will still play.

Posted

No Bode, no Buckley...

I'm all for making sure the kids aren't doing it on their own, but jeeeeeeezus....

As a club we really only have ourselves to blame. And the thing is that if we want Sheedy, we can't get him NOW to take over.

Posted
Why would you elevate bode if your not going to play him?

Sounds like some more money wasting to me.

I'm sure he'll get his chance, still another 4 rounds to go, but fark me just wake me up when this season ends! Excuse the pun, but it's a living hell! No backup ruck either, wtf are the selection panel on!?

Madness i noticed that you called the swans the scones.

Would you or somebody else be able to put a list up of all the teams eg filth for collingwood

Thanks. :)

y the fark dont they play the kidz.

even if the arent as big contributers than holland, ward, brown and co., they should not be ahead of buckley, dunn, garland, bode.

playing young players in the firsts fast-tracks their development. our season is over and riley wont take advantage. he is shite

Didnt you know, we are employing a youth policy...

Oh wait, that would mean youth would actually need to be playing... <_<

As i tried to explain the team to my daughter I realised I was getting more and more upset.

There is absolutely no logic to what they are doing.

One ruckman. And the one ruckman they don't need to practice any further with this year. Dumb.

Robbo at CHF. Its never worked and it never will. Dumb.

Don't play the kids. Dumb.

Newton starting on the bench. Yeah that makes sense. Dumb.

The first thing Sheedy will do will sack everyone involved in these selections.

Connolly would probably promote them.

How long till the cricket season?

Carna bloods for the rest of this season.

20 20 world cup in September

Heyyyyyyyyyyyy, completely forgot about that one! :rolleyes:

Looking forward to some more Haydos magic (if he makes the team that is)

Posted

same bloody selectors for the 20-20 world cup

refuse to pick on form, instead going for 'reputation'.

David Hussey should almost be the first selection and doesn't even make the team.

Posted

Brown, Ward, Holland, Godfrey, Carroll, Ferguson and Pickett.

Would any of these guys get a game right now for any other team?

I think not.

This is the worst Melbourne forward line I have ever seen, Neitz is virtually useless (injuries) and Robo is just as bad (probably injuries as well), so we have to rely on a kid who's played 4 games....ffs, no wonder we're 2nd last. If we're goint to suck then we might as well get some game time into some of our kids, instead of giving games to has beens who sould be delisted at the end of the year.

We are top heavy in our back half and will get run off our feet.

Poor selection again..... Bode should off got a game

Very harsh on Carroll, but otherwise, spot on.

Not a clue what Riley and his men are doing. Surely we already know what these players give us, so why are we flogging a dead horse?

if were developing for next year then we would be playing all our youngsters.

reality is, the only real unestablished youngsters in the team are newton and Frawley!

other young players like bate, moloney, davey, bell, mclean and jones are in our best 18 players anyway so playing them is a given.

if riley was serious about developing our list as he claims, then he would be playing buckley, dunn, garland, CJ, PJ and even bode.

until these players are in the seniors, then riley is not putting the MFC club first. instead he is putting himself first by giving ward and brown games.

HE IS SELFISH!

Robbo at CHF. Its never worked and it never will. Dumb.

Doesn't matter where they're listed in the paper. Doubt Robbo will play too far out, given that he seems unfit.

I guess with Carroll he is the best we have to play FB.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
