picket fence

You are joking? What is this...... sugar coated Code? Cale Morton - 26 disposals Although Cale had a high number of possessions, he was not as influential on the game as we would expect of him. The tea leavers would say "Most possesions uncontested" and again.... in last quarter when all was lost! Won't sugar coat?? Bah!

Not sure on this, I reckon Kosi has more upside than Miller, not that I thought Brad was a bad player, quite to the contrary, and couldn't we use him now?!

And don't we just love it Jackie? half whip it for those of charmed existence but for scapegoats it's something else... Surreal in fact! Cheers "Fence"

Ok Sylvia for Kosi! and throw Morton in for good measure! Deal?

Kosi, going Once? Twice? Three times?..... Are you all done?????...

Ah, " Nathan Ablett?"

No not at all, I reckon he would fit into CHF nicely and when wiser heads prevail and Jack Watts plays HFF I reckon you could build a forward line around this with Clarke as Key forward.. Or would you rather Sellar, Bate, or Dunn as your key target in forward fifty? Or maybe Born again Garland/ Rivers ( Both goal kicking machines?) Eh Not knocking Garlo Or Rive excellent defenders, but if we have plans to play this as permanent thing then we are really gone Lucas Cook has shown Cameo but really hasn't dominated at Casey at this piont and if he cannot crack a game in this climate, well Says a lot. You were saying??

Thanks Norwood demon, I actually think he has been playing at CHB for the last three weeks and before that kicked 6 or so. Returned Forward this week and kicked 4 from limited opportunities if my mail is correct. Look I'll say it one last time, I don't think he ever got an extended run and always seemed to be first axed if team performed poorly. Part of grooming a player is the "Belief" and I don't reckon whether he deserved it or not he or the selectors ever had enough belief. Will now become a historical part of player history but I will always wonder what he would have been like if playing at a Geelong for example given an extended run in a team that had sillky delivery forward. I hark back to his Cameo Vs North last year, led out fast and looked like a world beater as key forward before being required to chop out in ruck for Jamar. Should have been left key forward and as result of being required to ruck probably hastened the stress fractures which ultimately finished him after some good performances v Carlton and St Kilda last year and led to his delisting. Over and out!!

Query, would we be interested in Justin Koschitski if available and if so what would we be prepared to part with to get him? Looks to me as if a change of scenery might just be what he needs at the minute and If my sauces are correct St.Kilda might be willing to deal! ANY TAKERS?

Dear Diesel, yeah I know that too, pays to be versatile eh? Thanks for some "Informed" info Anyway I'll leave it at that... No sense crying over spilt Juice, eh?

Missing the point here, 35 goals in 25 games!!!! Do the homework and see for yourself, While others were kept, others with very modest records were retained! Worse thing is I reckon he would be a shoe in this season Pity... eh? Oh and in response to Pink Floyd. Mr Dark Side of the Moon.... If any mentioned would be better then thrill me with your acumen, facts, stats, etc so a reasonable debate can ensue,eh! then why arent they producing?? Eh and as for Sloonie Mc Floonie Looney.. ah ahem your name says it all!

Not a bad player on his day,was Roger!!!

Nice to see some "astute" observations weed eater! Yeah probably because he had stress fractures in his foot might just explain why you didn't see him after the early rounds last year! Oh and one other thing... 35 goals in 25 games er, can you define anyone else in the past 6 or so years who had a better average?? Now be careful because only a few can lay claim to those figures for Melbourne! AND finally who would you rather in the forward line at present Sellar? Martin? Magner? Dunn? what about Spencer? Never ever was given an extended run is my point of view and for reasons other than ability times he would have been picked if not for injury remains and probably will now pass into "What if" Pity! C'mon rollem out and please do, do your homework! before posting again.

Yep I'll buy in... he gets my vote. Either Him or Clarke with Trengove/Grimes as DVCs

In the absence of any common sense forward structure at Melbourne then why not?Lets redraft next year?! eh? And I say this because Neeld refuses, REFUSES to play No 1 pick Jack Watts in forward line when really, all is lost this season and golden opportunity presented today as it has at other times this season. Don't give me the spiel that Garland and Rivers are the answer either because as proved today goals are easy against Greater Western Shockings Mosquito defenders, but not against reasonable( and that's all Brisbane defenders are after all) reasonable defense. Juice Kicked 4 today at Norwood at key post, and was the best forward today and won them the game! Never ever given consecutive run when Bailey in charge, Injured at crucial stages, 24 yrs of age must, mature age recruit must be a better bet than any key forward at Melbourne bar Clarke. Neeld must be rueing letting him go given scenario as played out. I say get him back before others redraft based on his form at Norwood.

6 Jones (Rolls Royce engine in a holden ute body) 5 Watts (Uncanny ball skills today reminded me of one R Flower) 4 Clark ( Class and Grunt) 3 Jordy ( Blue collar, Shut Monopoly Money out of Business) gee how lucky to have ducked this spud Scully)?? 2 Mc Donald ( Continues to find feet) 1 Bater ( Much Maligned, worked his clacker off today)

Well I thought I had seen it all !! But alas Not really enough!! Are you Demonlanders ready for this??? The man who I thought would never play another test, one dayer, or kay f ceerrrr! has won himself another contract with the ACB?? The only inference I can make of this is, that his career might not yet be finished?? Surely.... not serious ?? The old boys club is alive and well! Is this April 1 ?? Yours in progressional cricket "The Picket Fence"

You must be kidding Give me Simon Buckley anyday Simon Buckley can get his own ball. Cale Morton stands off his man and in fact sometimes stands so wide his teammates need twice peripheral vision to see him! When turnovers occur he is so far off his man that, offensively he cannot possibly make up the lost space to man up! He is almost a totally a one dimensional outside player with questionable footskills. In my opinion and with the emergent Neeld games style he is fast becoming a luxury we can ill afford

Good evening learned "Landers" Picket Fence ere over from The megabyte corrupted "Ology" I have been very critical of Cale Morton and his inability to win "Contested Ball". Some Demonologists have stuck fast by Morton through thick and thin! A bit like my support of 'Juice Newton" over the years but let me say this...... He has survived on the strength of his "Skills" set and running ability. As a flawed player this has now deserted him. Feeble players in AFL football are a thing of the past. You must both win contested and uncontested footy. His time has past and as a number 4 draft pick he has been a massive disappiontment. Trade out... if lucky!! The Picket Fence!

And not to mention that Juice Newton was avialable and not selected even if underdone! Didn't he kick bags of 6 and 5 earlier this year? Surely would have been worth a game yesterday? Hindsight is a good thing eh?

Thanks KC, who else from Melbourne can come back next week ? and given your knowledge care to take a stab at a likely side for next week?

Perhaps if he was given the extended opportunities of Jack Watts or Lynden Dunn et al he might then have developed some confidence in his ability and THEN perhaps the VFL Form would equate to AFL Performance! Oh, and another thing, No doubt Stef Martin has improved out of site when down back or on the Ball Rucking, BUT he absolutely Flounders when played Forward. Juice was BOG against Port Melb and Second BOG against Geelong and IMV would have been selected last week if not rubbed out for an unlucky late contact in a marking contest. The question then would have been, Who would he have replaced?? Hnmm I'll let you have a stab at it!

"Juice" Newton played in the Sandy MAGOOS He started slowly before hitting his straps and Starred with 4 goals 4 Bhds A return seems a formality!

Yes, we all know that even Travis ( who will probably go close to winning Brisbanes B&F ) KNOWS THAT ALSO!

I do believe some of you are being a Tad harsh on "Juice" I n the first quarter of that Hawks game I witnessed three occasions when he commited to the ball, was pushed in the back and not rewarded for his efforts!! If you don't believe me go over the tape and see for yourselves! All 20 -30 out for gimme goals Secondly There already is another Melbourne based club who would be very eager to snap up his services if we foolishly delisted him. His contract runs out this year I believe, how many other players with the same potential can mark and kick at 20 are there? in our club or any other?? Retain him at all costs!
