Anybody want to go first?

Or is the loss still too raw?

Jurrah - (if injured)

Magner - needs a rest?

Sylvia - is the back still dodgy?

IN:

Couch - time to try

Dunn? Cook? Tapscott?

Dunno...

    I've posted more times tonight then in my entire time at demonland, honestly i dont believe any changes in personal will make any difference, they're not treating game day like game day, its just another chance to train on another specific thing. when a player tries to do something different and attacks the game when he should be sticking to the structure there practicing it gets brought up in game review, doesn't matter if it works out or ends up in a score against, game day is getting treated like a training drill. is this the right way to teach a team to win? i dont know, but i'll be paying my membership again next year again hoping it is, and if it's not i'll be paying again the year after hoping we get it wring in 2014. so the cycle goes on.

    Maybe give them a chance to have a run and build up some cohesion without making 4 or 5 changes every week?

    Not sure - just putting it out there.

    Sounds okay, but I feel we need to blood another youngster...

    I think there has to be at least two. We need to bring in one of Sellar and Martin as a second ruck. And Jurrah is injured, and a proper forward replacement is necessary - neither of those two are any good forward.

    the same changes we should of made last week.

    NEELD MUST GO!!

    sack him and bring Lovett in as caretaker for the remainder of the season.

    Casey in, everyone excepting Jones and Clark, out.

    Would love to see Taggert in but he really is underdone and it would be unfair on the kid. Sometime over the next 4 to 6 weeks I would like to see Taggert, Sheahan, Davis and Cook getting a game. It's time to stop going back to the tried and true gunna's and prima donna's like Silvia and Moloney.

    I think Martin will come up next week and maybe Tappy but couldn't see anyone else at the moment oh yeah forgot Couch, he has worked hard to get a run and deserves it.

    Changes for next week:

    IN: 50,000 Carlton members/supporters

    OUT: 30,000 Melbourne members/supporters

    I would hate to imagine the ratio of Melbourne to Carlton supporters next sunday evening....

    Well researched post stuie , meticulous and not short on detail . I'd find room for a retired Liz Ellis but on an overall basis , it's hard to argue with your "replacement" team !

    Well it would be a better skilled team.... and much harder at it than the blokes who "played" this week.

    Do you have a replacement coach?

    Add Jamar to the outs

    Ins

    Dunn in as a permanent back

    Couch in the middle, gets the ball and handballs to a player running forward, not standing still.

    Spencer in as a big awkward passionate presence.

    Moves

    Frawley to attack, add some class, straight line leading, experience.

    haha, so can I assume that if a player was dropped twice they're being sent straight to the Casey 2's? For what its worth I reckon we should really go down the WNBA path, they would strike some fear in the opposition.

  • Quote

    Is there anyone at Casey who will truely transform our fortunes. Maybe play the same 22 (except for injuries) and try and get the best out of them.

    Changes for next week?

    Give the players a week off from being flogged at training, then expecting them to be up for a game.

    That is, let them recover.

    •  

    Bring in Couch for Sylvia,he couldn't be any worse could he? He'd have 10 times the hunger as Sylvia.

    I wouldn't play Maloney again until he re-signs,players who want to stay at their club have signed by this time of the year.

    There is no future in Dunn,Bate,Bail,Joel Mac,Bartram-don't want to see them in the team again.

    Would like to draft the best VFL mid again.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
