The changes i would make for this week

In: White, Petterd

Out: PJ (inj), Bell

I think they will wait for round 22 to give Yze his farewell game in Melbourne on the 'G, White will play the season out now, and im not sure if they will give dutchy a farewell game. I would like to see Grimes get his chance but can't see it happening this year.

Thoughts?

In: White, Petterd, Yze.

Out: PJ, Bell, Bate.

Would like to see us attack the game. By the way, Im picking YZe on form.

Are CJ and Garland ready?

I read an article in which Monaghan (Football Operations Manager?) said that there wouldn't be many changes.

From memory, he suggested Garland and Dunn should be fit to play, while White was 50/50.

Winning form is good form they say..... PJ was scheduled for Operation this week.

My selections: -

OUT: PJ.

IN: Meesen

May have played his last game for the club as I believe he'll be packaged in a possible Warnock trade.

I don't know why we'd give away CJ + something else for Warnock if we had the opportunity to get Warnock for 'free' (PSD) if Freo didn't want to play ball (ie. take Weetra ;)).

:huh: Haven't heard that one before.

Interesting, Western Australian? I don't rule that out as NOT happening... I just doubt it.

Pick any team that can't win (given current circumstances & injuries that shouldn't be too hard). I want the last game at the 'G against Richmond to be a live rubber, ie. we can go all out for a glorious win without jeopardising those two draft picks we've surely earned this year.

Just my prayer to see this season out :)

I'm guessing

IN: White

OUT: PJ

From what was said in the two Jeff White articles today, it looks like he'll play the last 2 games (or at least, he'll be fit enough to play them). No real need to drop anyone else I don't think.

Bate injured? Couldn't be out on form vs what Yze brings to the team.

Bate must be dropped! Cant keep him in if we a using the "picked on form" policy

look l don't what game you were at last week but Bate hardly deserves to get dropped!! some of you blokes are hopeless and would drop everyone if you could. Watch out boys don't make ONE mistake otherwise you're gone :wacko:

So the same team that has played for most of the year then?!!!

Ok, six months ago maybe we could've talked about trading CJ to Freo, to give him a fresh start as much as anything else.

BUT, he's stepped up, is a real contributor and surely part of our youth program. Would be way down the list of priorities to move on.

And at the emotional level, with the idea of 'doing it for his own good' removed there's only the simple fact that he is the son of a Demon's champion who grew up as a Demon.

Anyway, back to next week's game.

Wonaeamirri is out of form and does not seem to be having much impact. As much as he's loved we must not forget he's a teenager and will have trouble sometimes with the week-in week-out wear and tear.

I can see Yze coming in, based on Sandy form.

Obviously PJ is out, with either White if available or Meesen... Meesen in... I'll be darned.

Possibly Garland in for Frawley.

A side note, has anyone else noticed that Cale Morton is a bit of a travel specialist?

Last week over WC was great, no doubt there, but...

Geelong at SS - 22 disposals, 2 goals

Adelaide at AAMI - 18 disposals, 3 goals

Fremantle at Subiaco - 20 Disposals, 2 goals

He didn't kick a goal at the 'G until round 17!

Good signs for saturday. C'mon Cale, get that Rising Star!

I think Petterd's a good chance. Did Yze miss for Sandy because he was the 'first' emergency, or did he have an injury/illness concern?

Possibly Garland in for Frawley.

Frawley doesn't deserve to be dropped IMO. I'd definitely want to bring Garland in, though.

Yze was listed as injured with a knee problem. If he's fit I'd bring him in for Wonna, we've all seen what he can do but he isn't impacting at all over the last month. Hope Petterd gets a go, and Garland should come in if fit. I'm not a Frawley fan at all yet, but he's shown enough to play out the year.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
