Just something that i've noticed, and which i commend Baily for..............but the rise in PJ's stocks has coinsided with the amount of game time that he is now being given.

From what i saw yesterday both PJ and White were on the ground for the majority of the game..............when they needed a rest they would just rotate between ruck and the loose man in defence.

It can only be a good thing because Daniher only used to give the second ruckman 5mins at the end of each quarter so white could have a rest.

What does everyone think?

Yeah, I think it is a good thing... we have to look at replacing White eventually, and giving the 2nd ruckman plenty of game-time is a good move.

I also noticed that Bailey has thrown the mid-fielders up forward to give them a rest from the middle occasionally. I noticed it against the Doggies with McLean and Jones having at least one spell each in a forward pocket, and then I am pretty sure that Jones had a spell on the forward line against the Geelong also.

It can't hurt getting more game-time into young legs... all about development.

PJ has grown with more responsibility and let's face it he has played his best football since the sydney game where he did his shoulder, I think we all have been surprised and he seems to be marking the ball quite well as well.

He was horrible last week but definately made up for it against Geelong. He has all the tools to be a good ruckman he just has to put it all together and show more aggression and he could be anything.

Who PJ?

I thought he pretty good last week, more than held his own in the ruck and round the ground, and was never unwilling to put his big body on the line. He missed those two goals in the first when we were still in it, but i wouldnt go as far as to say he was terrible. If i remember right, he got quite a few votes in both the Demonland and Demonology player of the year voting.?

I only watched the Geel game on TV, but I've been to a few other games this season, and we've often had two rucks on the ground at once.

PJ's had plenty of game time, which is good, and he's spent a fair chunk of that up forward.

He was horrible last week

I disagree. That said, we lost by ~100 points, but it's all relative.

Probably fair to say that Johnno's been one of the better things about the season so far.

At present a best performing big man, this is great for PJ but worrying for the club, we have no KPP playing well and winning there position except PJ he even had more ruck taps than White with great percentage of the to advantage

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
