According to mmm James will be a late change tonight. Huge loss I reckon as he is the stable one down back. So who should we bring in. Pettard, Tappscott and Fitzpatrick are our emergencies. Maybe Pettard can come in and Watts can play back.

This will put pressure on Rivers now and Joel macdonald will really have to stand up.

    This makes some sense. nick48 on O'logy who attended training for a short sharp session yesterday stated Frawley unusually finished doing some laps. Hinted that something may be amiss with him.

    That's all I've got.

    From Demonology yesterday

    Nick48 - Frawley – trained, ended by doing laps on his own.

    IRW- Are you implying that Frawley is carrying a niggle?

    Nick48 - it might be nothing - just thought it a bit odd at the time - he's named so maybe nothing.

    Perfect opportunity for Watts to play down back. Neeld hinted as much the other day too.

    Not really perfect. So Sylvia will be our tall target up forward?

    Maybe not having a tall target up front will force our mids to lower their eyes and aim for a leading forward such as Petterd, Sylvia or Howe.

    Agree with that, but wouldn't it be better for Watts to be taking that opportunity too seeing we want him to be a forward and not a KPB?

    I always thought Fitzpatrick was to come in with that side.

    Now 'if' Frawley is out, guess who'll likely play back, as hinted at these past few days. I reckon anyway.

    Well, I suppose there's still a chance that Fitzpatrick might get the nod.

    Well, Morton, I don't know if you realise what you've said. But you given me an Idea. I wonder if it's what they're contemplating?

    HAHAHAH. Yes... How is it we used to nearly win games we were trying to tank yet cant win a game when we're trying to win :)

    Frawley and Clark are our two most important players IMO. They are the rock of the forward and backlines, the strong bodies, the confidence, the generals. Having them both out this week will be disastrous!

    You're kidding arent you?? Cant see a match up for Frawley!! Doh!

    Source....

    Neeld in a presser this week said he would play forward and wing....

    Agree

    A scary thought indeed. Now we'll have no forward to not deliver too... Rivers will have a tall order...

    Yeah, I heard that too... Three quarter time break at GWS game, it was mentioned. But if he wasn't named in the original side, how can that be?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
