Changes For Next Week

Featured Replies

Posted

Early I know, but I'm going early.

IN: Green (play off half back, kick out option), Jurrah (High Half Forwad/Deep Forward), Tapscott (same as Green), Watts (CHF)

OUT: Bail (poor couple of weeks), Bate (hasn't shown enough), Fitzpatrick (team balance), Sylvia (needs to find some form)

FB: McDonald, Frawley, Bartram

HB: Green, Rivers, Tapscott

C: Howe, McKenzie, Grimes

HF: Jurrah, Watts, Magner

FF: Garland, Clark, Davey

FOLL: Jamar, Grimes, Jones

INT: Bennell, Morton, Trengove, Petterd

Fitzpatrick goes out purely for team balance. We need some good kickers coming out of defence so I'd like to see both Green and Tapscott playing off the half back line and sharing the kick in roles.

Garland to move forward to provide another marking target and to reduce the damage his poor disposal can cause. Allows both Green & Tapscott to go back.

Bail had 1 tackle! Not good enough for a player like him, while Bate and Sylvia hasven't shown enough so far this season.

Watts and Jurrah to come forward and provide some spark.

Moloney holds his spot just, thanks to 8 tackles.

Was a terrible night tonight. Fire up Demons!!!

Pretty much agree with that except id like to see martin come back in . Clark is clunking everything that comes near him down forward we dont want him rucking up the ground . Davey gotta go as well play sam blease for an extended period and see what he can do .

Jurrahs court hearing is this week if im not mistaken, thurs or friday?

so he might not be on our list come next weekend let alone in the side.. and even if he is on our list, he isnt fit as he said himself

no point in playing watts unless he shows more intensity tomorrow.. whats the point in picking him vs carlton when we are going to get spanked on the back of not doing what he is asked to do in the VFL. Needs to perform in the tacklinf/pressure acts tomorrow

Im not sure who to bring in or drop, but those 2 have a few hurdles to get over first

I could not honestly answer this question (ins) until after the Casey game tommorow but Sylvia and Bail would be certainties to exit and Petterd based on his embarrasing effort tonight should not have got a game.


In Watts, Sheahan, Cook, Taggert, Martin, Jurrah.

Time for some new blood, I con't care how they play tomorrow. All of them can kick the ball with the exception of Martin who is hit or miss. Out with the guys who continually let us down.

Want to wait till tomorrow for the final call but didn't like Clark in the ruck and then booting forward without him down there to mark it. So Fitz stays in (but needs to play in the ruck more than he did - why was he subbed off and the Jamar went to the bench???)

So if Sellar and Martin don't come up Fitz stays. Also with no games in the 2's for 2 weeks Sylvia stays and I expect Jurrah to play in the 3's to get the fitness up.

Out: Bail, Bate, Pettard (you do not touch the ball 0 times in a half).

In: Running mid (Blease/Nicho), Fwd/mid (Green/Couch) and Watts (will be back).

In Watts, Sheahan, Cook, Taggert, Martin, Jurrah.

Also will should add Blease and Couch and leave these guys in for a good run.

 

In Couch, Jurrah, Martin

Out SYLVIA,, Trengove (sorry called for it last week too, love the guy, but not being able to make the distance from 30m out disgraceful and he needs to find some form) Garland


B: Garland Frawley Tynan

HB: Bennell Rivers Bartram

C: Nicholson Magner Grimes

HF: Green Watts Howe

F: Sylvia Clark Jurrah

F: Jamar Trengove Jones

I: Bail, Tapscott, Moloney, Sylvia

Apologies to McKenzie but I want to see pace & attack. We have nothing to lose.

Edited by Dannyz

Why Garland?

Limped off the field in the last.

OUT: Sylvia, Bate, Garland, Moloney.

IN: Couch, Dunn, Macdonald, Green.

Wouldn't mind giving Troy Davis another shot. See if he can do as good of a job defensively as McDonald has been doing but dispose of the thing a bit better.


Ins folding deck chairs

Outs lounge deck chairs

I'm pretty much checking out at the moment. Baby and bath water have gone out the freaking window. Unhappy with the way we play how our better players have regressed and how we seem to be making no progress....

No more blindly tipping money into the club, the wife is getting suspicious and I am coming home angry, no upside

Statement time Neeld;

Out: Moloney, Sylvia, Petterd

In: Couch, Blease, Jurrah

There are many others that could go out, but reality is we don't have players to replace them with. But one thing is for sure, dropping those 3 players (especially the first 2) is making a statement.

Out Sylvia,bate,Fitzpatrick,bennell,bail,petted ,davey,moloney

In watts,jurrah,green,Martin,blease,tapscott,tynan,couch

Edited by DeeZee

In B. Lovett, Watts, Jurrah, Couch, Blease, Cook, Green

Outs Neeld (to Casey) Bennell, Garland (INjured), Fitzpatrick(incredibly ordinary), Petterd, can't think of another one at the minute....

Bate should play full game. He's better than Bennell.


Out: everyone except Mitch Clark

In: a time machine to grab the following 'stars'

B: Nettlebeck - Carroll - Bode

HB: Bell - Ferguson - Collins

C: Obst - Fisher - Kowal

HF: M Febey - Molan - Pickett

F: Hunter - Clark - Rogers

R: Irving - Turley - Valenti

I: Ottens - Hopgood - Armstrong - Grgic

Sadly that team would beat our current lot of spudleys.

Couch is ill.....Will not play today.....Nicholson is a ROOKIE ....Can't play AFL untill put on senior list

 

Fitzpatrick has to go. No idea who thought he was ready for AFL football. Clearly isn't.

Petterd was rubbish, Sylvia isn't working hard enough, Bennell didn't show any improvement, Bail had a second bad game in a row (I'm still inclined to keep him in the side though), so there are plenty of options.

Jurrah and Watts surely have to be considered.

Bate has been ok. Not great but half reasonable. If Stef martin gets a call up again im gonna crack it.

  • 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.
