Changes for next week


deeflog

Recommended Posts

I saw the Batram in for Nicholson as what many of us expected - the importance of Clint to the team.

Before the game I advocated for Bartram's inclusion so I'm with you there, but I would have thought Evans was the one to replace.

If it were up to me, I would give Blease a few games. Not sure about throwing Tapscott straight back in.

+1

I'd very much like to see Blease debut and wouldn't be surprised if he comes in very soon.

I'm also unsure about Tapscott coming straight back in, hence listing him fourth, but I see him as in our 2011 best 22.

Jamar can sit in the goalsqaure for a few weeks. Petterd has done his time. Garland is required back there.

Out - Gawn, Jetta, Nicholson

Nicholson was replaced by Bartram, remember.

Swap Nicholson with Evans and I'm with you, though.

The 'outs' can't comprise Nicholson because he didn't play on Monday!

I made it down to the Dees training session today. Jamar did the full session and looked great. I'm sure he will play this weekend.....

Great stuff.

I believe both Frawley and Jurrah are playing with niggling injuries. I would like to see both of them tough it out, I know that one is doing a better fist of it than the other but he has to work through it.

Keep him in the team.

Yeah, Frawley was already carrying, but he was hurt badly early in the QB game.

I think half the reason Rivers was left on Cloke for so long, was because we were trying to protect Chip.

Jurrah is being held together by pieces of sports tape, at the moment.

Jamar I would love back, but Martin and Gawn seem to be holding their own, and will do fine against an Sandi-less Fremantle.

Yeah nah but....

Moloney is not getting the accurate delivery he gets from Jamar. Too many of our glut of tap-outs end up in the opposition hands.

Speaking of accuracy, Foxel had Dees V Filth Rnd 8 1998 on last night. Jimmy's delivery was sublime - that's what you call a ruckman!!

Ins: Jamar, Petterd

Out: Bartram(inj), Jetta

I am struggling with the above FdD

We get belted by 88 points and the only changes are 2 injured players!

Surely there must be a couple of others who do not deserve a game.

Right there with you.

We are talking about a footy team, not EA Sports Fantasy AFL, if there was such a thing (so wish there was!).

Drop Howe, who is contributing more than most to the twos for development reasons?!

He's developing fine where he is.

Agree Watts got 25+ games surely we can afford 3 in a row for Howe.

It's also about who deserves to come in and which players will give us the best chance of winning on Sunday.

So all of the other 22 showed on monday they were the ones to beat Freo!

Rubbish, when you get beaten by 88 points there must be a large number who did not pull their weight.

And remember Freo are not bunnies it could easily be another Eagles result.

In: Jamar, Petterd, Nicholson

Outs: Gawn, Jetta (inj), Bennell

Jamar plays >50% game time from the goal square to give us structure up forward and relieve some of the pressure on Jurrah and co

Petterd to play HFF and rotate through the midfield. Straight swap for Jetta

Nicholson is a straight swap for Bennell who I believe was worst on ground on Monday. Nicholson has the pace and I believe can play a similar role to Bennell with more defensive pressure.

Garland is a possibility if fully fit and it would be a toss the coin Strauss/Morton who would make way

Very tempted to add Green to the 'out' list as his form has been terrible this year.

Does anyone know if he is carrying an injury that would explain his form slump?

Ins: Jamar, Petterd

Out: Bartram(inj), Jetta

I can't reconcile this.

Jamar in, but Martin and Gawn stay?

I think Gawn will need to go back to Casey.

Jetta was injured, not sure about Bartram.

If so, both of those outs are sound.

I'd bring in Nicholson in that case.

I'd rest Jurrah, in favour of giving Cook his first match.

Keen to give Blease a game soon too.

I'd consider Evans.

I know Jones got 25 touches and 6 tackles, but he frustrated me no end on Monday.

His handballing was painful.

Green was horrible too, but neither will be dropped.

In summary...

IN: Jamar, Nicholson, Petterd, Cook, Blease.

OUT: Gawn, Jetta (inj), Bartram (inj), Jurrah, Evans.

If the club thinks he has played enough to jump back into AFL, Garland should come in.

No idea who for, on balance. Rivers had a shocker, but I don't think we should drop him.

Maybe to come in instead of Blease.

No way is Blease ready. Disposal is iffy and he doesn't have defensive skills yet.

Dont agree Old Dee

Freo are pretty much bunnies without Sandilands. losing Mundy and Balentyne will hurt them too. Not saying we're better than them, but they are'nt that good, especially at the G

So after a 88 point belting do you only want to replace the 2 players that are injured?

That was what FdD was suggesting.

I can think of 5 players that did not justify their spot in the team.

Would love to see Jones and Morton dropped (for Nicholson & Dunn respectively), but unfortunately it won't happen.

This is what I think is likely to happen:

- Jetta (inj) for Petterd

- Bartram/Strauss (dep on Bartram injury) for Garland

- Gawn for Jamar (if fit)

I know there's talk of Tapscott but I suspect they'll give him a week at Casey to prove his fitness.

We got belted by last years premiers who have flogged most teams they have played this year by an average of 50 points. We played them with a team that has 992 less games experience in its players.

We still need to get players games experience so if the there are 2 injured why not replace them with 1 in from player Petterd and play him in the midfield and Jamar if he is fit to play 70-75% of the game to get back match fitness. Gawn can ruck with Jamar and I would put Steff either forward as a tall marking option or in defence where he was playing prior to Jamar going down.

I would have Blease in incase Jamar is not fit, and that is only because I want to see him play. lol So I hope that explains my thinking for you.

But hey its only my opinion others may not agree. happy.gif

Spot on mate we all have them and you are perfectly entitled to yours.

Sorry if I was getting a little agro.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to sta

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
