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.

In: Trengove, Scully, Bate

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)

no one really stood out much

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?

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

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.

    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,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
