Changes for next week

Recommended Posts

Not an easy job being on the MFC Match Committee these days, for all the right reasons.

It's going to be really hard to keep Joel Mac & Miller out of this week's team based on the VFL reports. Joel has dominated the game with 32 touches and a goal off half-back while Miller has strung together 3 straight weeks of big performances for 10.6 goals in 3 weeks.

Conversely it seems Jetta & Wona are only really getting a good half in and not pushing their form through a full game.

Then you've got to deal with when to bring in Gysberts as well.

Exciting stuff.

Given Bailey's always said that selection will come on the back of consistent performances at Casey, don't be surprised if Miller gets the nod this week. We'd get more out of him than we did PJ.

MacDonald might need another week at Casey, given that Morton's also in line to come back in.

OUT: Bruce (inj), Bate (inj), Hughes, Johnson, Bartram

IN: Dunn, Cheney, Gysberts, Morton, Wonaeamirri

Surprised more people aren't calling for Dunn to be recalled.

I think we really missed him on Saturday.

Bartram has been a good defender, but it hurts having both him and Rivers rebounding from defence.

Too many times the ball was in his hands when we needed to execute and he couldn't do it.

Surley you are not surprised Keyser, most who post here on Demonland are waiting for the day Dunn is delisted to have a giant Toga party.

I think we missed him last week too. He may frustrate you with some silly [censored] ups from time to time, but i don't think you can fault his endeavour. I beleive he was leading our team in marks before last round, which tells me he has been a good hit-up, release man for us, which we sorley lacked on Saturday. He could have also been used to tag a big mid like Priddis who was killing us, like he tagged Brennan in the Brisbane game.

I would definitely have him back in for PJ, and let him do some ruck duities.

Who do think had been playing and contributing in our side when we have played well this season, that is currently out of the side?

Petterd is an obvious, but won't be back.

Bail definitley.

MacDonald palyed well in our wins(and Pie loss), but also put in a couple of shockers.

Dunn has been serviceable in games in a variety of roles.

On the flip side of this, i think that Rivers and PJ are on the block.

People have short memories.

Just like when PJ was out of the team and some said he was a perfect inclusion due to his wondrous ability to play forward, Dunn makes far too many clangers, has little to no ability to read the play which means when we're defending he's usually in a useless position, doesn't attack the ball, doesn't have much hunger or agression, and doesn't really add anything to the team.

We're better off looking at MacDonald, Morton, Bail, Cheney, McNamara, Jetta, Maric, Wonaeamirri, Spencer and/or Martin.

There is nothing more certain then Morton and Jetta coming in this week and you can add Aussie to that list as well. Cheney will be close but I think with the pace of Ports forwards they might leave him out and keep Bartram in.

In Morton, Jetta, Aussie

Out Bruce(inj), Bennell, Rivers

Michael Newton has never, ever done any of those things any better than what PJ did on the weekend.

I cannot think of a single player at Casey right now who isn't ahead of Newton in every conceivable way.

Has never done a thing at any level, other than grow to a certain height, that gives him any right to a spot in our senior team.

He kicked over ten goals in sandy reserves if i remember correctly, 12 i think it was.

Go Dees

i will have a crack at this one, always hard to pick what the FD is thinking

INS: Morton, Jetta/Wonna, Gysberts, Miller, MacDonald

OUTS: Bate, Bruce, Rivers, Johnson, Hughes

More run is required, we were just to big and slow last week

There's a massive gulf between AFL level and VFL reserves, and that was an age ago. He's got zero credits in the bank.

Why take out Bennell for the indigenous round?

He's in overdraft

I thought he brought down Lehmans Bank.

To be fair, Newton did take mark of the year in 2007. Bailey should play him in the seniors for next 8 rounds so we can see if he is any good.

Only kidding. Had to write that about Newton before someone else does. :rolleyes:

I agree with your INS (all 6 of them!) But, not so sure about the OUTS. Bate & Bruce if they are injured, and possibly Sylvia if he is injured or in a form slump. But the other three to make way? Hmm...!

Can we have 6 INS, and only 3 OUTS??? (LOL)

Guess that's what the Selectors are paid the big bucks for...

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
