    Port Melbourne v Casey

    in Melbourne Demons

    Hartlett has never been as timid as Toumpas. It was injuries that held him back, not intensity.

    In saying that some great defensive work from Toumpas just now on the half back flank, resulting in a forward movement that saw a goal kicked by Bonaddio.

    Not much to write home about based on the first half.

    Fitzpatrick and Dawes are solid marks up front, Sellar and Davis good down back, but the latter is a shockingly poor kick. Clisby okay running off half back.

    Blease is too quick for VFL players but has no right side, and Davey is too good for this level.

    Big concern is Toumpas. Has no intensity whatsoever. Big bum and short stocky legs, and certainly doesn't have much pace from what I've seen today.

    Interesting that Yeats said he was a flanker at under age level - so too were Trengove and Martin I believe.

    Perhaps the expectation that all three would become 'pure' mids was erroneous from the get-go.

    Scully's skills let him down and he's not gut-running like he did in his first year at the Dees, Trengove looks slow (perhaps due to two non-existent pre-seasons in a row) and Martin clearly lacks stamina, but is probably the best prepared if all three, no doubt helped that he's got Cotchin, Deledio and Grigg as midfield cohorts.

    Perhaps all three are only ever going to amount to being good ordinary footballers rather than stars of the competition.

    blease will learn nothing going back and playing in the vfl.

    he's exactly the sort of player that we are desperate to develop, and he needs the experience of an elite-level game, not going back.

    these decisions just really really frustrate me.

    I know it's early, but.....

    Players I'd like to approach are..... Richard Douglas, Luke Shuey, Clinton Jones, James Kelly and many more...... Not much chance though...... But they're the players I'd like to see in the red and blue....

    Brian Royal replaced by Cameron Ling.....

    Keep Jack Watts.....

    Also I'd like to see the back of Peter Jackson.... IMO he is apart of AFL infiltration into our club..... Which is only going to end in relocation....

    disagree, it's part of stabilisation and continued existence.

    the reality is we will likely struggle to be an attractive destination of players.

    fortunately i think we've nailed the past two years thanks to clark, hogan, and hopefully dawes. we just need our draft picks from the last couple of years to work out for us, and make sure we nail the next few.
