Changes for Next week



Recommended Posts

I think some people have it out for Dunn, he was excellent on Brennan last night.

Each week he has a new role and considering he is getting a game he is doing his job.

bingo. Playing really well on his opponents each week and did well in the ruck this week.

McIntosh, Hale, Goldstein. Martin will play.

Agree. Hale and Goldstein can be a handful going forward.

In - Rivers

Out - Bruce

well I've just watched the replay--all but the first 10 minutes. In another topic I've seen reference to poor ball handling by Bruce last Saturday. It must have been all in that first 10 minutes!

In all that I watched Bruce made 1 error. On the outer wing he passed over to Trengove with a kick that got too high

and was punched away. He made no other error by foot or hand in the 100 minutes I saw.

He was responsible for 2 goals, one, to Sylvia, when Bruce took a poor pass to him, virtually on the half volley and got it to Sylvia who kicked a nice goal in the 2nd quarter. His handling of the ball fetched an intake of breath by Tony Shaw-it was so good.

Any suggestion that he be dropped could only be made in bad faith!

Rivers is in the best 22 and I think he is a better option than Garland to help the side get the 4 points on Saturday against North. It doesn't mean that Rivers is the better long term option, but I think the 4 points is important enough to justify a change.

In - Rivers

Out - Garland

Bail deserves to regain his spot but pending injury there is no obvious vacancy. He will need to be patient and show us what he's made of for the Scorp's.

The good news is our arguments have changed from why blokes should be dropped to why blokes shouldn't be dropped. What a fantastic and somewhat unique development!

No change for mine, I would love to see Rivers and Bail back, but I can't remove anyone for them to replace.

One fantastic thing that might be flying under the radar is how great it is to have almost the same 22 play together for a few weeks.

Injuries have been bad for us over the last couple of years, being unable to have the same blokes on the park has hurt us and consistency in the lineup will probably lead to a lot of improvement very quickly. Exciting!

Why don't you just put your old screen name in a signature, Y_M? You're STILL the only one bleating on about Bruce, years after you started.

As for the side I'm surprised nobody else has called for Bennell's head. Not that I WANT him gone, he was desperately unlucky on the weekend in a number of cases, but he's also probably the least "successful" in the side.

Tough beng a dee at the moment.

Why does Bail need to show us what "he's made of" when he has already shown us at AFL level already?

Fighting to get back in a successful team after injury is part of footy. Has he experienced that scenario in his career thus far???

Proving he can maintain the work rate and motivational level required at VFL level to force his way back into the red and blue is a form of 'showing us what he's made of', and a valuable lesson for a young player forging himself a reputation.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
