Bruce on O'Keefe

i agree, or garland.

    I'd actually like to see us go into a match with the same team as the previous week. I would however like to see Valenti get another go, probably at the expense of Yze. At least Sydney doesn't have the speediest of midfields, so our leg-speed shouldn't be as much of a concern this week.

    Or Wheatley.

    Or anyone, just not Bartram/Bode. Far to small.

    Yet you started off suggesting Whelan?

    I agree Bruce is an option but he was pretty good last week on the ball. He also snuck forward to kick a couple of goals. It is just a matter of whether you want to sacrfice that for him to play a purely defensive role?

    O'Keefe is tall, but doesn't neccesarily play tall. His game is based around solid run. He does not take contested marks, rather works into space. I don't see why Bartram or Bode wouldn't be a good physical match up. Whether they have the talent is another issue.

    Your man CJ might be worth a run on him as well.

    Jamar would have to be gone wouldn't he?

    Bench should be: Frawley, CJ, Morton and Valenti.

    I want to see Whelan in the side, but can't justify dropping the other 4.

    Same. Frawley gives us another tall option.

    edit: Bailey indicated that there'll be changes -

    "DEAN Bailey has indicated that the Melbourne match committee will make at least a couple of changes when the team is selected to take on the Sydney Swans this Sunday.

    The Demons have won just one match this season, and face the in-form Swans in Canberra.

    "We need to ensure that the players who are in good form at Sandringham are being rewarded," Bailey said."

    Perhaps Valenti and Whelan will both come in.

    There is a serious strength difference between Whelan and those 2.

    Small doesn't always mean height, as you said, he plays small, need someone who can run with him but will show some strength in marking contests.

    Adem Yze is definitely omitted, I've heard this first hand that he's playing for Sandy this weekend. Strange therefore that he was up there promoting the game the other day....

    I think Frawley will be the other one dropped Bailey praised Morton and C.J so I can't see them going out. Whelan and Valenti in.

    If you rate Mark Jamar as an AFL footballer it ain't.

    Don't know what he will bring to the team with PJ and Whitey already in there.

    Maybe Manuka needs a replacement goal post.

    This is [censored]. Lets play Jamar over Morton.

    What the point in dropping Morton?

    because his disposal has been poor under pressure the last 2 weeks... a run at sandy will help his confidence...

    Jamar coming in suggests PJ will play forward and give us that target we really lacked last week...

    Old Valenti just can't seem to crack it.

    if there was ever a week for him to get a game i thought this would be it.

  • Quote

    PJ to the square, Miller to push further up the ground and not kick a goal as he'll be forced upfield. Man it pisses me off when they do that to him, HE CAN KICK GOALS FFS!

    Valenti should be playing, WHY IS BODE THERE?

    Agreed, Valenti's got to be given some game time to see if he's part of the future.

    Then again, I assume DB thinks CJ has a bigger upside and that's why he's got the nod. Give the kid some time at least if that's the case. Just like Valenti deserved.

    At this stage of the season we shouldn't always be picking the team on individual match ups. It's the time now to see who can cut it and who can't.

    CJ has a chance now, maybe Valenti's will come in a few weeks.

    This is absolute bu****it. Vanenti should get a game.

    Somebody on this list called Bailey the next "Brittain". I hope not! But I am fearful. :angry: :angry:

    You presume these people have a plan? There is no evidence they have. :angry:

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
