    Probably against the swans grunt it should be Magner but wouldn't be surprised to see Strauss on his performance yesterday.

    Reward good performances and stick in Magner for Blease. No omissions if possible.

    Straussy was quite good yesterday, as mentioned; I'd like to see him given another shot. But I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that James Magner is just not in the club's plans. I don't really get why, but there it is.

    Strauss or Tappy in to replace Blease.

    Out: Dunn, Blease (if injured)

    In: Strauss, Tapscott

    What about Jack Grimes - isn't he due back in.

    Also would drop Brynes and have either Magner or Tappy back in.

    Hopefully Blease plays and it's just Grimes for Byrnes.

    Grimes? Would he be ready to immediately come into the seniors? He has been out a while.

    I'd bring him straight back in. He's been running for a few weeks, and would have been able to ride and walk through his whole lay-off period. His endurance is probably good enough to play 3 quarters.

    He is the captain after all. You don't just bring your captain through the VFL if you don't have to.

    So does Jonesy lose his interim captaincy title once Grimes is back in? Probs won't be brought up.

    yeah he does, he was on the sunday footy show this morning and they asked him that very question, and he confirmed he would just slide back to VC and garland down to DC

    Maybe it would be worth giving Matt Jones abit of a rest, he has been great for us but I have felt his performances have been slowly dipping a little bit, perhaps he is abit tired and needs a week off?

    out blease, jones

    in grimes, strauss

    Please keep the same team subject to them having no injuries.

    Major changes have been a killer for the MFC this season.

    From my understanding Grimes is eligible to play this week. That means Magner is no longer eligible, as his spot was only temporary whilst Grimes was on the LTI.

  • Quote

    Grimes possibly another week away still...I would imagine that this injury report was relevent at some stage last week.

    Out: Blease

    In: Strauss

    Byrnes had no effect on the game. I would not be surprised if he was dropped.

    Can't imagine many changes and Bleasey is the only obvious injury.

    Tapscott is a small forward and has done well against Swans in past - so a small forward for a small forward.

    If Grimes is fit, then a decision has to be made on whether he replaces Clisby or Dunn and goes straight into back six.

    Swans have quite a few injuries, but based on last week their five most regular forwards were Tippett, White, McGlynn, Bolton and Parker - so perhaps we don't need Dunn's size (and errors) this week, although Kennedy, O'Keefe and Everitt all drift forward and have a bit of size.

    Out: Blease (inj), Dunn

    In: Tapscott, Grimes (if fit)

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
