Changes v Suns

Recommended Posts

I was very disappointed with the output and error making of Trengove, McDonald and Mckenzie. So 2 mids and a tall and a captain. If Grimes is on long term injury list the Magner for him, Sellar for Mac while he gets some confidence and learns to kick and Davey for Mckenzie and Fitzpatrick for Trengove as we need a tall mobile marking forward (not convinced that Dawes is ready yet)

IN: Jetta, Fitzy, Dawes, Blease, Toumpas (Be good for him to play against some similar aged players)

OUT: Grimes (inj), Spencer, Trengove, Kent, Nicholson

Swap Magner for Toumpas should Grimes go on the LTI.

Jetta is really tough and was one of our best before suspension.

Dawes . . . well we've all been waiting almost six months for this.

Magner may or may not get a go if Grimes is put on the LTI. Let's hope he can keep up with the Joneses.

Grimes . . . poor Jack Grimes. B+F worthy form and he cops a ten week injury. Bad bad luck.

McDonald...not since the debut of the infamous Tom Gillies have we seen a defender play this poorly. What? That was just a month ago, you say? Well I'll be...

Nicholson...I had Bail originally, but he offers more than Nicholson does. Nicho's only advantage is his endurance, but Bail has that and a little bit more.

In: Jetta, Fitzpatrick, Jamar, Dawes

Out: Grimes, Spencer, Nicholson, ?

I want to see if we can't stretch the Suns' defence with two legitimate talls plus a resting ruck down there. Grimes is obvious with Jetta being an obvious replacement and Jamar isn't listed on the injuries, so if he's fit he comes back in for Spencer. It would be tempting to bring in Magner as well given we can LTI Grimes. Maybe drop Jordie for him if we want to go that way, although he would normally get the role on Ablett.

Woah woah, lets not go crazy.

Tommy Mac can at least defend, and has runs on the board. Please let us never compare him, or anyone who has ever played a good game in red & blue, to that weird bearded man whos existence at our club confuses and enrages me.

McDonald is having a stinker of a season, but he can play, and his kicking is passable, his confidence just seems to be well down.

Sorry but I thought spencer playing far better than jamar. Would not drop him.

I like Spence, but in no way could i say he's playing better than Jamar. Put it in persepective, Jamar averages the 3rd most hitouts in the AFL - today Warnock had 44 hitouts to Jake's 18.

Not like Spencer killed him around the ground, either. Give him another week though, if Jamar is feeling the slightest bit sore.

Not only was Spencer killed in the ruck, he was bullied around the ground. He's getting to be a big unit, but he couldn't stand up to the Carlton rucks. GC have a couple of huge rucks on their hands who will be more than happy to run through him at every opportunity. Jamar is a better option to stand up to that sort of physical attack.

Out: Nicho, Mckenzie, Grimes Lti,

Trenners if carrying something needs a rest not sure who to bring in Fitzy may be to tall for balance so do you go Blease or Taggert, Just not sure on Rory being ready

Originally typed TMac out for Pedersen at CHB but probably do Tom good to play this week

Out: spencer (never again), bail (can't kick), McDonald (see bail), Nicholson (see bail), grimes

In: Fitzpatrick, Dawes, Sellar, Jetta, Toumpas

Dawes is our best big forward available. Gawn our best Ruck and Fitzy our best back up man. Lets play them as such!

I like Jetta's toughness and his direct ball usage. Get him in.

It's way overdue to swap McDonald for Sellar. It's short term but worth it.

The last midfield spots are near on impossible. I don't actually want to play Toumpas but who else do we have? Do we stick with Mckenzie or Nicholson or neither?

Jetta Frawley Terlich

Dunn McD Garland

Tappy Viney M Jones

Howe Gawn Sylvia

Kent Dawes Byrnes

Spencer McKenzie N.Jones

Int: Strauss Evans Blease Magner JT

In: Jetta, Dawes, Magner (if JG on LTI)

Out: Nicholson, Bail

This is based on Col Garland and Tom McD being available. Both were hobbling by end of game.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
