What they're saying under the EJ Whitten Bridge
picket fence replied to JTR's topic in Melbourne Demons
Exactly WHY Sparrow replaces Melksham this week. But hes not the only one under pressure Bailey Fritsch would want to stop worrying about his hair getting messed up and start putting forward pressure on! f he doesnt do it this week then out he goes! -

And a freakishly unlucky loss at that. I do not and never have bought into the myth regarding "The loss we had to have" that is classic losing mentality!

On what I saw today, forget the innacuracy this week,one very smart very capable footballer could have have 5 or 6 today, just knows where to run to put himself in DANGEROUS Positions i would play him

Prologue: Astounded at the start of the game to have to line up to get in onaccounta only 1 Turnstile open. Then when I got close to check in Found out I could have just walked in through the seething throng of Swanettes ( Rememember them?) and walked in through the "Members only" Gate DOH! Reasonable crowd today, probably 50/50 Dees/Casey and Swans faithful. Beautiful day for footy out at Casey, no breeze to speak of and a relaxed almost gentile and pastoral elegance permeated the scenescape which featured Dogs of all kinds, Kids playing with footies, Parents sitting on Picnic blankets just out to enjoy a much anticipated clash. The aromatic waft of the Bacon ccoking on the hotplate ajacent the Food stall certainly resounded with the punters and many an egg and bacon roll was being consumed amongst the very reasonable 3 for $4.00 Dimmies and the ubiquitous Home made pies ( at just the right Temperature) and Sauce) No Slitheras in sight and the radience of the sun cascaded into a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday in Melbourne with warmth on my back and easy views from all parts of the ground! The best part about being Picket Fence or anyone else is that you can have a view which may or may not be Numero Ono! Thats the best part about being on a forum such as Demonland. The range of opinions is both fascinating and enthralling! And each to his own! NEWS , VIEWS AND HARD HITTING ANALYSIS! I deliberately set out to watch the forwards more so than the defenders as I sussed out that changes may come from that cohort, However I did see some great defence which I will highlight her as well I'll start with a positive Jake Bowey, a poor mans Caleb Daniel in the making ( hopefully will be a better mans Caleb Daniel) Phew there is a heck of a lot to like about this player, Small in stature but big in heart, he set up many rebounds with his cunning, canny ball use and smarts, I really dont think he is far away at all. Mitch Brown A very crafty clever and creative forward, He knows where to run and could easily have kicked 6 or 7 today instead of his 2 5 ish, If Fritsch is on the skids I would have no hessitation, bringing him in BB Total day to forget, slipPed and slided , was caught behind, I'm not sure he even had a kick, Not that he wasn't presenting it was just one of those days where delivery was Shizzen and he just looked a bit lost. He NEVER stopped trying. Oscar Baker, Played a great game and used the ball mainly well, showed some G & D on numerous occasions and formed a winning centreline Chunky, Too good at this level , but the pace of the next level will possibly find him out, Linked well played with typical "Grunt" but was rested for the last half of the last! Fraser Rosman, will be a very good wingman AKA Issac Smith coz he moves uncannily like him, Was involved in ball movement and creates opportunities Toby Bedford, Played an entertaining and swashbuckling game, plenty of pace, kicks good goals and will continue his development Tom Sparrow, VDB CLONE and if he can stay injury free will be a cracker, pace, grunt, smarts and skills continue to develop Jay Lockhart. Gee I like him a lot, positions his body cleverly, uses the ball pretty well, pacey and just does all things an accountable defender should do Kade Chandler, underpinned why he got game this year and continued from where he left of , touvh of class player with plenty of grunt and played a very good game Austin Bradke, Ok I stand corrected here if it was him I was looking at in the ruck he was very very good, , palmed the ball well and played the snarly ruckman type to perfection Majak At some piont Majak will play some games and he wont let us down another fine performance i the ruck, his fitness has improved and he can play Ruck , Forward, Back whih makes him very versatile Of the Casey Boys Munro, White and Foot are no slouches. I really like James Munro, he seems to be the catalyst at casey and is a fiery no mess type. Ill conclude with this .... " If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure and failure without risk is not sustainable or attainable" PF

On the contrary ,Dazzle is an astute football man who knows the game backwards. An excellent well respected footy analyst and poster on Demonland

BOWEY HAS BEEN GREAT FIR CASEY SO FAR

Yep BB would Not have missed the sitter that Weid did from 35 out for a start
-
Oi Dazzle u left of a comment on Clayton Oliver! ??
-
Yeah we lost vs bottom 4 side We willbe crunched next week I 8
-
Clayton Oliver would be more unstoppable now in a side like Doggies, and Brisbane!!
-
Re Harsh on Weid, the guy has had 5 years for a few good and 1 great game! He needed to fire tonight and didn't!! Time to play and perservere with a guy who is a proven forward and Goal Kicker Ben Brown!! Melksham almost never again!
-
Agree we need 18 Clayton Olivers!
-
Loss we had to have is loser mentality! Rhetoric where have I heard that before. Christ we lost to a BOTTOM 4 SIDE
-
I would swing the axe and send out a powerfurl message In Brown, Viney, Sparrow, Daw Out Weederman, Melksham, Jetta, and take your pick
-
BROWN should never have been dropped in the first place, would he have missed that easy goal from 35 out that Weeds chocked on? Nar, Melksham should almost not be picked until he shows some intensity was woeful tonight!
-
Nup that is negative thinking, why a loss we had to have?? Good teams just keep winning and winning and winning, Lose to Adelaide??? Shocking indictment on the mentality of players and more shocking selections cost us dearly Melksham should not play again unless we have a million injuries Weederman will not make it at Melbourne Spargo showed why in a game his deficiencies of actually getting the ball will NOT win finals Petty Not up to it Jetta , unfortunately past it
-
Yep can see it a mile away
