No you guys obviously have not caught up with the news.. The Demons are now allowed to play 23 on field 100 % of the game as authorised by the AFL so no no one will get dropped.

As a thought I would give Maxie the two weeks off and have Jackson ruck. T Mc could ruck if needed. I would bring in a small in his place.

My view. Watch this space.. !!

But look at the different way Collingwood handled a guy like Lumumba compared to the Demons way. I honestly feel it takes two to tango and by that I mean that there must have been an infestation at C'wood when it comes to angst against Lumumba.

Just a hunch. Maybe that is why Daw was pulled from the Casey game so that he did not get injured. Ready for next week ? I see Gawny is going for scans on Monday.

So where does Salem fit into the mould.

Reports ??

my view is that whilst I have no issues with the guy when at Melbourne, because our integrity is beyond reproach always, I feel that he maybe losing some traction with his case against the Colliewobbles or that he wants more attention by the Press on his claims. A Court of Law would ask the same questions as to " why bring these matters forth now" ?

Look, most players play / sign for 2 year deals especially if they are in their younger years, why would they not ?? Gives them time to improve and warrant a higher Contract base.

Nil comes in and Nil gets dropped.

are you serious ? in the real world we are not....

I really think that your comments are very harsh but when you have a team that has very few quality players then you get the results you deserve. fyi:- Roosey is on the Board and I am sure he has some input. Look at us... it took for 2013 to 2018 to see permanent change.

I don't think you are being fair to Roosey and I do not see your point re the reply post where I commented on five worst coaches performance. Frankly there is no way I would speak ill of Roosey at all and frankly his win/loss margins are a reflection of the times he took over in 2013/4. His last two games as Coach are the last points I would ever think of raising in the context of my reply post you commented on as Roosey turned this Club around and I applaud him and worship the guy. Just saying.

I reckon they are in about the same order I would rate them. The ones I would prefer to forget (but nice blokes) (in order) 1. Mark Neeld - 33 games for 5 wins 28 losses. 2. Dennis Jones - 22 Games for 5 wins and 17 losses 3. Bob Skilton - 88 Games for 28 wins and 60 losses 4. Neil Craig - 11 Games for 1 win and 10 losses 5. Mark Riley (by default and because I had to match you with 5 others ) - 9 games for 1 win and 8 losses.

I agree the conversation re TMac's mark is completely overblown. Playing at the highest level of footy dictates that you do not take anything by chance or for granted...and in TMac's case here he had his eyes on the ball 100% and did not think about any error possibility situation that the Ball may have gone through the Goal line if he had not marked. Safety first, if's and but's last.

Smith gives away goals each week. drop him for good.

The Demons have a player by the name of Jackson who would walk into that 12.. fyi: I have placed Jackson in your 12 at 7.5

Jordan is one of our best tacklers with Sparrow and Neal-Bullen. No way he will be dropped.

Tmac before Weid please.

It's a joke Joyce.

I have the sensible answer to your question...... All Umpires and players should wear N95 masks during play.

why ?

Can I ask if a player has Covid does that mean a longer stint on the sidelines than the normal H&S ? Also what worries me is the flow on effect plus the fact a player's body would be weakened by this B.....y Covid.

Do you think Goody will come back through Casey for a few weeks.?? Just asking cause my Wife wants to know... I know the answer of course and I will be at Casey fields to watch.
