10 News just reported news of a mystery neck injury likely to keep our skipper out for some time , thus forcing the decision that the coaching panel seemed unwilling to make .

    it's so wrong, but i'm happy we won't have the skipper playing. our forward line was dysfunctional with neitz in it, atleast now we'll get a chance to develop a forward line that we can persist with for the future.

    If i were coach my fowrad line would be:

    Davey, Bate, Green

    Newton, Robbo, Wonemirri

    That's atleast a versatile forward line. Robbo and Newton can take a grab. Bate and Green can make strong meaningful leads. Davey and Wonemirri provide the excitment and forward pressure.

    I'd also be willing to try Dunn at CHF, Miller across half forward, and i'd like to blood Maric into the forward line sooner rather than later.

    (btw- Sylvia should play midfield!!! if he's not fit, give him a go across half back. he's played 40 games across half forward and has done nothing in all but a couple of games. atleast give him a go in the gutz!)

    Its a case of creating a story out of pure guesswork

    Journalist one day Doctor the Next

    Journalist one day Mind Reader the Next

    Its been going on since Moses played Centre Half Back for Egypt

    I take 0 notice of journalists that make comments about the football department of football clubs

    they seem to like having the Caroism,s preceed every story like *it is reported* *allegedly* *i have heard* *my sources say*

    maybe they could compile a book and get it forwarded by Murray Walker

    Is it any wonder why the best reporters actually played

    :rolleyes:

    "He had a neck [injury]. He's had a little bit of it every now and then when he gets a stinger, but there is something in the back of his neck that hasn't really been a problem and that was the reason he sat out the rest of the game," coach Dean Bailey said.

    "He can take a fair bit of pain, the big fella, so it must be fairly serious for him not to come back on.

    "Sometimes those types of things can take three of four minutes before they release and unfortunately his didn't release to a level where the docs could say he could come back on."

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
