    Bennel will be looked at. He had one kick! Jetta not much better. Rivers might have to stay if Garland is out although Carlton don't have a match up for him. Miller was back to his usual self.

    OUT: Bruce (omitted), Garland (inj), Rivers (omitted), Macdonald (Omitted)

    INS: Scully, Trengove, Bate, McKenzie

    Carlton have a small forward-line, so we will need to change our defensive structure a little in order to counteract the pace of their forwards. Scully and Trengove pick themselves, Bate is a marking forward who can play on the wing, and McKenzie's toughness and tackling are really important for us.

    Out: Rivers (Was a liability today and no obvious match up for him next week either), Garland (inj), MacDonald (will get burnt for pace next week)

    In: Trengove, Scully, Bate

    whoever gets dropped will be stiff imo, but scully, trengove and bate have to come in. mckenzie should also come in imo.

    Give Millar a break. What do you expect the way the ball was delivered into him (which wasn't very often)

    agreed!!

    no one really stood out much

    i dont think bennell or jetta will get dropped surely its not like we expected them to have a fantastic game as they were playing the best team in the comp

    I don't care who goes out, but we need Scully, Trengove and Bate back.

    I'd also look at maybe rewarding Cheney with a game, given Carlton have plenty of small forwards we need to cover.

    I thought about that too, but who would he replace?

    Rivers for one.

    MacDonald.

    Neither of those guys were good today, and neither of them have a decent match up next week.

  • Quote

    In : Scully, Trengrove, Bate, Maric, McKenzie

    Out : Wonna, Garland, Jetta, not sure who else due to ratios but we need to look at Bail and Cheney also

    Players to watch out are Bruce, Sylvia, Jones

    I agree, but I already have them out for our returning mids. Obviously this isn't a direct exchange, but if we want to also bring in Trengully and McKenzie, we'll need to think hard about which mids we'll drop.

    Out: Garland (inj), MacDonald, Rivers, Bruce/Wonaeamirri

    Scullgove and McKenzie are automatic inclusions, we need Bate more than ever up forward if we're going to ruck Miller.

    MacDonald can't dispose of it and is too slow for Carlton's forward line, Rivers is gone, and I can't make my mind up over who of Bruce and Wonna goes to get the fourth inclusion in the side.

    Chook, do you realize you've dropped most of the backline, our strength this year?

    I dropped Rivers who was shocking, Macdonald who is too slow to play against the Blues' mobile forward-line, and a guy who is injured. So sue me.

  • Quote

    Why is Mckenzie an automatic selection. He was dropped for poor form. See how he goes tomorrow for Casey. Hopefully Garland will be ok but with Carltons forward line we should expect to go in small.

    Sue you? You sound like you think I'm having a big crack at you. I wasn't being facetious.

    Sorry if your [censored] off at the moment, but I was looking realistically at next week. I'm not bothered at all about today, I had no expectations for todays result, so I'm not disappointed.

    My focus is FIXED firmly on the future Grand Finals, single mindedly.

    I can't comment on todays game as I didn't hear it & I have not yet watched the replay. I'll study it thouroghly tonight or tomorrow.

    It'll be interesting how Casey goes tomorrow, as I have some matchup Ideas.

    Because he is in our best 22 and he has been great this year.

    Yep. Also along similar lines, Strauss, Cheney and Bail. Could be some openings if they have a good game tomorrow. But equally, hard to single out any particular players today, we were just over-run by a team a league above us and in full flight.

    I'm not mad. It's just that it seemed like you thought my suggestion had no merit whatsoever.

    In: Scully, Trengove, Bate + Any strong performers at Casey particularly Spencer, Martin (ruck) or McKenzie

    Out: Any of Wona, Rivers, Garland (inj), Macdonald less likely Bartram, Watts, Bennell, Jones.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
