Bruce, again, did play well on Brad Johnson. But guess what, our 'premier' midfielder needed to play in the middle if we were going to have a crack, as simply trying to hold on offence would always have left us for dead. As noted, he did well on Johnson, then moved to the middle of the ground and did crap all. Not to mention shirking two contests within a few moments in the first quarter as the Dogs began to get on top of us.

Probably doesn't need to be dropped because i don't think this would get through to him, nor do i think he can seriously lift his game, but rather i think Bailey or other coaching staff need to sit him down and talk of a more consistent role he can play, because it is not in the middle

talking tough with the laptop again Yze?

Bring on round 7 when Dean Bailey and the match commitee decide which players are our future, White, Bruce, Miller enjoy a flag at Sandy. I would get 20 touches playing on a wing by myself like White has for the past 3 years. Bruce doesn't have the skill to be able to play under Bailey, maybe we treat him like Holland only bring him in for the Brad Johnson match up two games a year.

Yze Magic I actually agree with you these three are our past time to move on. Mclean will get better.

Bruce doesn't have the foot skills to be apart of Baileys game plan. He can get it just can't hit targets. We have to be honest and realise that Cam Bruce has been a good player for the club but will not help us win a premiership as he will be retired before we can build a team to challenge. Do we keep him or try and get a second round pick for him and really start to build our team for the future. If we keep him he will be another Yze.

Jeff White is still a very good player, Down on from and confidence like alot of others.....

I would just about go as far as to say he is close to being our best kick in the team.... I dont understand why we dont give him more ball and let him be like big Cox from the Weagles.....

I think that we've failed to utilise him too often in the past. Often he'd make good position through the centre, and doesn't have bad disposal.

I thought Jeff White had one of his better games on the weekend - felt he was the best ruckman on the ground and managed to pick up some kicks around the ground. also kicked two goals, something we have been screaming out for him to do.

Brock maclean would be very disappointed in that performance - why drop him? let him play this week and see his response to a poor game. this may show some leadership and also some character of who we hope he is

cameron bruce - is still deemed by outsiders to be one of our elite players. he plays on brad johnson and usually hands him the soap... he has to be played in the midfield when fully fit. yes his disaposal has not been waht it used to be but surely you do not lose your skills overnight!! i will back this bloke in...

robbo - has disappointed me this season. i thought that over summer and his comments, that we could expect anew robbo, etc.. what we see is someone that appears to be selfish and not doing the team orientated things good teams and players do.

every player needs to do their part - beat their direct opponents or break even, use the football effectively and not butcher it, be unselfish and do the one percenters, the running off the ball to make space, shepherding, tackling and playing with more passion and intensity!!

It may be time for some of our senior players to spend some time in Sandy, but i don't think this is the week to do it

Its the toughest assignment in football, and we have to do everything we possibly can to avoid a similar scorline to the last few weeks

We may not be able to win it, but i still think the side is capable of giving them a shake

Kids like Weetra, Garland, Maaric, Martyn - would not gain a thing by playing this game. Just would have the best seats in the house to watch an awesome team play.

This week my ins would be Rivers, Whelan, Yze and Holland (if available).

Cox is faster and has better foot skills

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
