    Bate is the only must have in the extended bench. Maybe Jamar considering our ruck problems...

    Moloney would be next in line, though busy he had discipline problems. Not a definite...

    Dunn may benefit from both Miller and Bate being in. So I'd like him retained...

    Would love to see Buckley get another game, and Garland was apparently BOG so either could get in... But Warnock... Well, he may get the gig given our worrying KP defender problem, but it will be a waste of time...

    LOL @ Miller straight into the team and name at FF

    Its round 6 - this is the deadline given by Bailey to the current crop who have had a pathetic start to the season.

    After this week, I never want to see the names of Jamar and Miller in the team ever again. And Maric and Valenti better be in the team next week.

    Lets give credit where credit is due ... Brad Miller (who I absolutely think is in the top 3 SHITTEST players on this list) has actually been one of the only forwards to present this year. While his decision making is utterly woeful, his disposal has been good and at least he runs hard to position.

    Like I said, I don't rate him at all, but I think he's been surprisingly good this year.

    The In's are ok, if Warnock or Garland gets a game I think I'll be physically sick.

    correct weight, that's been our biggest problem, no options presenting across half forward... miller has been reasonable in this area, especially in his last game against north...

    If someone would have read me this team before the season, i would'v actually said that it looks reaonably strong.

    it is simply amazing how downhill some of our players have gone from previous seasons.

    Moloney, Robbo, Green, Bruce, JMac, Carrol and co just look half the players they used to be.

    Bate is a must. I wouldn't mind seeing a bench of Bate, Buckley, Dunn and Garland.

    Moloney just isn't right, Warnock and Jamar are dump.

    Screw it why not just play Garland. Maybe getting some games into him could fast-track his development. it couldn't hurt after all, we couldn't do much worse...and he is clearly a cut above Sandy.

    I'm hoping for the bench to be: Bate, Buckley, Dunn and Garland.

    Moloney is struggling, Warnock is not up to standard, and as for Jamar, he is just embarrassing.

    Like it or not Jaded, Jamar will play regardless.

    I reckon you've got 3 out of 4 right.

    Completely understand your frustration and I hope they move them on as well but...

    I think that deadline may be used for the 26 year olds and up that Green, Bruce, Carroll, Wheatley, Whelan, White, McDonald, Robertson make up.

    With that said, who do you realistically drop to Sandy or retire; Green (No), Bruce (No), Carroll (Hard to do - ok at FB this year), Wheatley (Hard to do - ok off HBF this year), Whelan (Yes to both), White (Yes to retire), McDonald (No), and Robertson (Hard to do - Contracted next year).

    So Whelan and White possibly to retire (and one of them is currently susp. for a week) - That is hardly the clean out that we all expect.

    Personally, I believe this deadline will come and go with the MFC with no wins and no change.

    But if they are tough and ruthless, like they should be, these players should go: Carroll, Wheatley, Whelan, White, Jamar, and Miller. Robertson (because he'll be here in '09, Bruce and Green (both for trade week) should remain.

    Wheatley is the only one out of them we're likely to see at Sandy unless injury or suspension hits and they make their way back through the VFL.

    Whether supporters like it or not all those players are "must haves" so to speak.

    After watching the highlights just now, i thought we did alright... if it wasnt for fevola sealing goals in the end and our 14th behind then that 4th QTR could've been game on... well not quiet it was under 2 minutes so impossible for a team to kick 4 goals under two minutes :wacko:. and Melbourne should really concentrate on kicking goals very early not late cos i would be very red faced if we went into QTR time with nothing on the board.

    Anyways on to this week game

    If nathan carroll can restrict Daniel bradshaw 2-3 goals we may be in for a chance- but i doubt it he will be unstoppable along with Jonathan brown...

    EDIT: and dont forget we could've easily won that game if monloney didnt give away that 50m Penalty and the blues 7 unanswered goals!

    wow just wow! Garland gets a game before Bate?

    ok.........

  • Quote

    This is confusing, if Bate is OK then play him, if he's not then why put him down as an emergency? If they want to give him a run in the VFL then be done with it. Doesn't make any sense.

    I'm also disappointed Bate isn't playing.

    However, Bate for Whelan isn't remotely near a like-for-like switch.

    There is still plenty in that team that Bate deserves to be playing ahead of though.

    To Garland's credit he was a class above last week at Sandy. It will be very interesting to see what confidence he takes into this game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
