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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Why is Mckenzie an automatic selection. He was dropped for poor form. See how he goes tomorrow for Casey.

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.

    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,
