I'll excuse you both on your criticism of Rosman who you havent seen enough of at 2 practice games at 18/19 years of age and maybe a practice run. Comparisons are interesting based on speculation but I can say you both would be at 33 completely different than at 19yrs in life and footy. Let's also see how Carroll goes at Carlton I think! And if it's on a wing!
-
Bit tough on Lsngers. When he can distance himself and be given the ball he gives us tremendous drive and distance albeit with inconsistent kicking. Rosman long term but ANB needs to be given a chance as he runs all day ( mostly without the ball ) but he tries.
-
Wing not ring !!! Pardon my checker !!!
-
That's taking Langers ring he needs that fir his kicking also Fobd upset our best winger please.

As I have already stated to at least 2/3 posters It is robbing Peter to pay ( play) Paul using Fritsch and now our champ Trac. Give me a break. Fritta is getting about 6 kicks at goal per match and has (As I predicted ) lifted his game all round and conversion rate so take him out of FP, FF , HFF Or whoever he bobs up and take off 3 goals we are back to 7. No Yrac is not playing his position up forward he is starting on the ball where we can benefit big time. Trac the winger is just a fantasy as he also kicks valuable goals either resting up forward or on the ball he averages a goal a game. Also takes a valuable back man to boot. We are back to 6 goals !!! From yesterday's score. Ok let's give them a goal between them on the wing but you can't replace them if both are on our forward line! I believe Rosman is the answer and he needs a fast course of just playing there and learning AFL style snd our game plan. Uesterdsy switching him to the FP did little in terms of his development so that needs to be addressed. My solution is either Hunt or Salem where we have got some depth at half back and they vould be rotated if necessary. Other thxn that why not ANB? We can cover his limited goals ( great start from him yesterday but one swallow does not make a summer and he would be busy and run to defence and forward ) I reckon. May need some composure in disposal but would appreciate the wider open spaces of the wing to run and create. It will prolong his career in the short term.

Understand what you are saying but should he say we can kick 6 goals to nil andwin it? Probably but last quarter We actually hung in a bit and we had been through the ringer in the3rd. Again this horrible ONE quarter cropped up and it probably could have been earlier in the game With the team as selected we really have no option but to learn !! BBB was not wrong but a bit too truthful a bit early but no harm done really.

Would hope that Petty could play either at CHB or CHF and not sure Baker will survive. Reckon one of Sparrow or Jordon will play but not both. If Gus plays then Melkshsm snd Hibberd Dont. Have too many underdone and no form either. Spargo or Jonesy for HFF I think. Would like Bowey to get chance but Might have to wait. Def Nev sadly is probably not up with the pace at this stage. Harmesy is a worry As he is a very careless tackler and needs to eliminate this out of his game. Tmac needs to hit the scoreboard and is prob better suited to FF than CHF but Maybe that is nitpicking as players are moved between one and the other. We have to be careful not to throw some players out on the one below par form today and go back to older not ready or out of form due up no practice others.

Think it's possibly closed to the public but check that out.

TEAM SELECTION: Practice Match vs Bulldogs

One year ones for Hibbo and Tommy and Melkshske ONLY if he is genuinely in the senior side ( not favoured by the Coach) . Jets will have retired and Jonesy also.
-
Didn't check spell check which generally comes up with Rodman and Bowery. Sorry.
-
That's not true Fork. Clarry is a good kick without a classic style and is an efficient disposer. Length is generally excellent.
-
Sorry Biff meant for following post.
-
That's not true Clarry is a Good kick without being a classic style disposer.
-
Correct Sydee agree Rod looked all at sea but I am expecting a lift. Yes Bowery and Petty were excellent in defence.
-
He said he didn't look at FA Old Dee. What more Do you want him to say?
-
Grundy did not get on in the hub. He does not want or like footy being 24/7. He will play better this year but at $1 mill per year needs to. DS let's face it we are damned if we do or don't. Maxy is at the top of his game and I feel it's not a Buddy decision where he needs to play till 36. We want To keep all our players and the Club are doing an amazing job this week two of our very best for the next 4 years and Clarry and Salo to come and I reckon Trac will sign on this season agsin. PS on top of Jack if we can get some younger stars also

Probably something similar to other areas Will stilll need a Covid safe seat.

Clayton Oliver 100 Games Round 1 2021 vs FREO
58er replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agree but see no reason why he won't . Sort of follows Up what Gawny said about team football and some sort of selfishness in the mids group last year was apparent. If they play like last Friday thsts the team play that should be non negotiable. Clarry led the way last week and can co tubule in that role. Trac does his football naturally now and is a team player of class. -
Yes Mr Leg
-
No wonder Tommy didn't get a contract with another AFL Club during Trade period. was fighting leg artery issues oversized mullet and trying to diet all in about 2 months. That's a lot of baggage !!! Great to see the real Tom Back and with some agility and marking prowess last Friday. Looking for gradual improvement whete he impacts the scoreboard and is a focal point in attack.
-
Very small sample size Chook!!
-
Would be even more juicy if Tom plays CHF and Oscar is at CHB and both Clubs are up and about with 60,000 plus for the McDonald Cup!!!
-
Hopefully Rosman comes on during the season and our wing problems are solved. Looking for more involvement on Monday early game. Huge upside when he gets his mojo going.

Demons 11 last tine I looked You weren't on our selection panel nor coaching group! Looks a likely type as long as he adjusts to the AFL atmosphere! Size and X factor look irresistible on the highlights all be they are in a lower grade. Good luck Monday Kye.
