Just our form against Port should be more than enough to seriously challenge the pies, it's just a matter of identifying these lapses early and blokes like Cross, Vince and Jones making sure they boys stay on task,

Dees by 11 points

Great tribute to Aaron Davey WJ. Cant wait to go to the G on Monday. The winter chill in the air, a packed crowd and we will be watching what the next ten years holds for us.

Dees by 15.

I'm with you, mate. Totally agree this is a winnable game.

What are some of the key match ups here?

Hopefully Jetta can do to Elliot what he did to Wingard and Cloke continues his horrible run (Bar last week)

Posted

........and I hope Jack Watts pays em back for his debut game against them. Kick the last two Jack.

Toumpas, Riley, McKenzie named for Casey but not Gawn.

That said Gawn could be held over as the emergency. With the Casey game on Saturday I could imagine they'd have 2 players (a big and a small held over for Monday).

It seems that everybody is overlooking this post which surely gives a strong hint on what the selectors are thinking! Personally l would prefer to see Riley get a run at the expense of Terlich ( no disrespect intended ).

Why stop at that. First two, last two, as long as it is enough.

Is there any possibility that Frawley plays back? If so, does that create room for Gawn forward (and second ruck)? Without Gawn we have a very short rucking combination.

If Frawley were to play back I would expect Grimes to get a run with role, probably on Swan.

We wont try and expose them for height, we will go for some versatility and try and prevent their run from the back half, therefore Gawn makes way for Dawes, I think it's between Toumpas and Riley and Mckenzie will only come in if there is a specific run with role for him

Yep, that's how i see it.

We are going to seriously out size their second tier defenders. Langdon and toovey Will cop watts and Pederson so they might really miss maxwell

Posted

The good thing is Maxwell wont be there to be the one that comes across and helps out the other defenders. We cant let Harry just run off the backline and use the ball. Have to man him up.

Binman watch it, really highlights just how bad we were and the difference in game plan

Watching the replay from last year really highlights the improvement in the team

http://www.afl.com.au/video/smart-replay?round=CD_R201301411&matchId=CD_M20130141106

This is the team we went with this time last year.

B

  • Lynden Dunn,
  • Cameron Pedersen,
  • Dean Terlich

HB

  • Colin Garland,
  • Tom McDonald,
  • Sam Blease

C

  • Jack Trengove,
  • Colin Sylvia,
  • Dean Kent

HF

  • Jordie McKenzie
  • Jack Fitzpatrick
  • Jack Watts

F

  • David Rodan,
  • Chris Dawes,
  • Aaron Davey

Fol

  • Mark Jamar,
  • Matt Jones,
  • Nathan Jones

I/C

  • Michael Evans,
  • Jeremy Howe,
  • Jimmy Toumpas

Sub

  • Luke Tapscott

So if you compare to the team for Monday:

OUT:

Blease, Trengove, Sylvia, Kent, Fitzpatrick, Rodan, Davey, Evans, Tapscott

IN:

Jetta, Grimes, Cross, Tyson, Vince, Bail, Frawley, Viney, Gawn, JKH, Riley, Salem

2013 centre line: Trengove, Sylvia, Kent

2014 centre line: Cross, Tyson, Vince

:blink:

I think Frawley will go back with a more mobile Dunn or Howe to go forward. Roos has been trying to add flexibility to the team and this should be where we see benefit. Their back line is not great and without Frawley down back I cannot see holding both Cloke and White. Dawes in for Toumpas. Riley in for JKH who has a rest.

That difference across the centre is amazing.

Cross to Pendlebury?

My key match-ups would be

Nath Jones to Pendlebury (Nath has played a lot against opposition captains)

Cross to Beams (Prob the next most damaging)

Expecting MaCaffer to be tagging Dom.

Dunn on Cloke

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
