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

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...

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
