Remove Neitz and go Newton, have Neita as 2nd forward, get Maric in and Robbo out, keep Davey up forward!!! Sylvia doesn't belong in the forward line, no matter what his fans think.

Someone speaking some sense... dont get me wrong im a massive neitz fan but if he was anyone else he would be dropped, not sure if newton is the answer but maybe try him one out no point leaving neitz down there if you are going to play newton. Davey must stay in the forward line id rather see him with 10 possions as a fwd then 25 as an onballer. Robbo sadly has to go, to slow.

Can anyone name a fwd line in the league that could be slower then ours?

Robbo was the worst Melbourne plyer on the ground yesterday by a mile! Terrible.

It was interesting to hear Bailey's post-match comments on Robbo's game.

He pointed out that Robbo has really excellent aerobic capacity and that he did, on a few occassions, run down to the backline to help out. Then he mentioned that we need more output from him and that it was disappointing that he didn't kick any goals (a rarity).

While he was better this week in the midfield I still wouldn't mind seeing Green playing up forward alot more. He can take a mark and is still a reliable and accurate kick for goal... I personally think he has more value as a forward than a midfielder.

Could he be an option? obviously not a KPP but another option none the less..

If need new breath I reckon we also need someone down back like a Stef Martin who might be able to at least compete with some of the monster sized opposition forwards like Buddy and Tomahawk. A tall down there with the capacity to punch the ball away or at least through goals might have helped us make up more than half of last week's deficit.

Neitz should retire on his own terms.

I still believe that Newton is better suited to FF. Quick on a lead, and clever (at times). But without an engine to shine at CHF.

Newton or Bate at FF. Some say Bate is useful in the middle. I say we should spread our talent and Bate is 193cm. He really should be looking to be a KPP.

Without knowing much about him what have we got to lose? Our forwardline is Neitz conscious, our delivery to Neitz was terrible today too. Robbo was just about worst on ground today, he provided nothing

Maric to me isn't working hard enough yet & so hasn't earnt the respect to be considered for promotion.

As well he's a talent in a small boys skin, Josh Hunt took Morton for a helicopter the other day, well we can't play Maric if it's windy or we may just loose him. :lol:

Where did Wonaemirri play on Sunday [sorry, was playing cricket so couldn't watch]

Asking because its hard to imagine a forward line containing all three of Wonaemirri, Davey and Maric

I think he was on a wing going forward. How do you know ,these days?

Who were you playing cricket for? Obviously a GF. How'd you go, Dee-reaming?

Thanks for asking JJC...played for the the Hume & Hovell Explorers V the Crusaders...and we won in a boilover.

DeeReaming bowled like a drain...managed to bowl a very unfortunate gent who was in two minds 4 or 6. My batting talents were not required.

Injury News from Demonlanders involved:

DeeReaming: Hamstring: Test

Prodigal Son: Knee : Long Term Injury List

Back to the Footy, Wonaemirri, how did you rate his performance?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
