Changes next week v the Roos

Featured Replies

 

At half-time I would have dropped Kent…..and Salem….and Jamar…….and probably Roos too.

 

Only change is probably putting the sub vest on Riley and starting Salem. This 22 deserves a big crack at Norf after today.

Watch the game next time maybe.

 

I'd like to see more speed moving forward and if Roos could work his magic one more time I'd like to see Blease get a go. If not next week, in the next couple.


Just don't think Riley has the fitness for AFL yet and we've seen Salem struggle to run out games and lose impact. North are hard working and fit.

So whilst swapping them might be an option I'd rather keep Salem as a gun impact player and drop Riley for whomever is next in line which I hope means JKH again.

Or if we don't want to go youthful I'd really be a fan of trying Terlich as a defensive forward. He has match fitness, speed and courage. Would be much better suited to the job than Riley and if he fails he's decent enough down back we can move him there and throw Howe or someone else forward.

Would probably start rotating Salem/Riley/JKH for the rest of the season, as starting 22, substitute, and week off.

Salem has an X factor that is needed in the senior side ... the ideal way to rest the bloke is to make him the sub when applicable. He's too good a talent to be playing 2nds footy. As a sub right now, he becomes quite a weapon.

Unless there's an injury, I wouldn't expect any changes. If there is an injury, maybe JKH or Toumpas could come in. Either could start the game and be subbed off for Salem - or vice-versa.

Out: heart attack

In: a 10 goal win over those North Melbourne pricks

I'd still settle for a heart-attack, if it means we win.

Great win....hope all went...I did!

In: Kennedy- Harris , Terlich

Out: Riley, Salem ( REST)

This will definitely not happen.

The only possible change that I can see (barring injuries) is JKH in for Riley.

I cant believe anyone would say Salem out.

He made 2 crucial smothers and kicked the winning goal. No. Just no.

In: Kennedy-Harris

Out: Riley

The defence was fantastic last night and Terlich may just have to wait abit

With no real preseason I still don't think that Riley is match hardened. I would not sub him - he needs more time playing time not less - so either play him ( not sub) or drop him.

Out Riley , Bail, in Michie, Blease.


I'm a little gun shy regarding definitive statements after declaring their was no chance of terlich getting dropped so I'll just say I don't think either Salem or bail will be dropped. Salem for obvious reasons and bail because he works so damn hard and xall me crazy but i reckon roos thinks two way gut running is kind of important (which is one reason I rate mat Jones)

We won and noone set the world on fire at Casey

No change, make them knock the door down

I agree with some others on Riley's fitness. I also think Salem is much more of a weapon as a sub at the moment as he has struggled to impact games for extended periods thus far but always does a couple of crucial things when he comes on late in the game.

I would keep JKH at Casey for one more week, swap Riley and Michie and leave Salem as sub.

 

I'd still settle for a heart-attack, if it means we win.

I guess you have never had one DD

My advise don't have one

We need some class moving forward, someone who isn't afraid to back their foot skills and hit a target. I'm inclined to say bring Toumpas in. He is often described as being one of Casey's best without racking up the possessions which tells me he is damaging with his disposal.

I like Bail this year, he has heart. But i'd consider:

OUT: Bail, Riley

IN: Toumpas, JKH

Blease is close, but he's coming from a long way back for me so where everybody else has to earn it, I want to see Sammy earn it most of the year. No more inconsistency.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
