Changes for Round 8



Recommended Posts

my die hard doggies mate claims their back line is pathetic, and non functional. Perhaps Fitzy could rattle a few in there? Albeit i would prefer Frawley, BIG TIME.

Why make their back line less pathetic by including Fitzpatrick?

In: Fairy Floss

Out: Hard Nuts

While the suspensions are frustrating, if it's because our players are playing hard as nails that's a positive we can take away from it.

Kent would've been a straight slot for Viney though, so that's a shame. Could be Riley's chance now, Michie would be too far off because of his broken jaw. Oh, by the way, who got suspended for breaking Michie's jaw? Nobody? Nobody even sighted? Yeah, thought so.

IN: Garland, Riley

OUT: Viney (susp), Georgiou

FB: Dunn, Garland, Jetta

HB: Grimes, McDonald, Terlich

C: Watts, Cross, M. Jones

HF: Bail, Frawley, Kennedy-Harris

FF: Pederson, Dawes, Byrnes

FOLL: Jamar, Tyson, N. Jones

INT: Howe, Riley, Vince

SUB: Salem

EMERG: Clisby, Evans, Georgiou

Georgiou to stay in the team if Frawley doesn't get up, in which case we send Garland forward.

As Casey are playing that same day Georgiou should also be our non playing emergency. That way if Frawley is fit to play Alex would then get the week off just to make sure he's cherry ripe after his head clash and body slam.

Dunn Mcdonald Jetta

Grimes Geroriou Terlich

Vince N.jones M.Jones

JKH Pederson Bail

Garland Dawes Watts

jamar Tyson Cross

Howe Salem Byrnes

Riley

Best chance of winning this game is to stretch the bulldogs slightly weak defence, Watts did that last year and collected 3 votes.

Apart from Viney, there are a few with "injury watch" plus the apparently compulsory Mystery Injury of the Week which could make selection challenging.

All of Frawley, Watts, Georgiou and Jones are known to have had injury problems last week. Of them, I would expect Watts and Jones to play, but backs can be troublesome (ask Grimes and Hogan) and need to be treated with respect. Georgiou might have been rested anyway this week even without the head clash, although if Frawley's out perhaps without injury he would still have played.

I don't expect there will be any omissions. If there were none after the Sydney game, why would there be after last weekend, particularly if there are already some compulsory changes?

I think Gawn's time has come and that the Match Committee would like to see what he can do in the Seniors, so he'd be picked ahead of Fitzpatrick.

So, I suspect it will be Viney, Frawley and Georgiou out with Garland, Gawn and an available on baller (Riley?) in.

(Unless of course Viney appeals and wins.)

Corey Dell'Ollio got sighted off the video and got 3 weeks for rough conduct for contact with Michie which broke his jaw.

Managed to sneak the Terlich out again I see, I asked Dean about this at training on Tuesday, he says he knows you will never forgive him but he is ever so sorry he ran over your cat

Actually he tried to run over my cat but lost confidence, missed and ended up smashing 20m away.

I like his hardness, I like his intercept marking, I like his tackling, but he's turning the ball over at an alarming rate and has lost confidence in his decision making and kicking which were a real feature of his debut year particularly the first half of the season.

Meanwhile Clisby has put together a composed month of football at Casey. It's not at all personal it's just time for a swap.

I am with you master. Terlich makes poor decisions and is not tight enough on his man.

So that's two of you, any more?

Others must disagree coz he was in about five or six of the published 'bests', he is trusted a lot with the kick ins and deservedly got a bake when he didn't follow instructiions a few weeks back, the exaggeration over his mistakes is just that...can't see him not being picked any time soon

I think Terlich bought himself a couple of more weeks in the seniors after the Adelaide game. But geez he was running out credits.

if anybody can find a no nonsense rugged MF to do a preseason and be willing not to shirk and issue.

then you will see him dumped from the list.

until then hes what we have to provide grunt down back until the club unearths some qualities players that can take this position off him.

Not sure if he'd do the preseason, but what about James Packer?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
