I don't have any idea as yet, but you would assume that Frost will miss.

The guys down at Casey have yet another opportunity to put their name forward as well.

Frost is a big out, as we'll need to find someone to Ruck with Jamar v Tigers.

Posted

Agree, Toump or Michie if they tear it up tomorrow.

Posted

Out Frost

In Michie.

More mid depth please. Watts or Dawes can ruck for the ten minutes Jamar can't.

Your not serious are you..

Well they need to learn to do something else Dazzle except for spill marks and provide few goals...

Reckon bernie might get looked at for a couple of bumps?

Start brayshaw on the field and swap frost for michie or grimes

I'm sorry to break my self imposed ban on bashing of a very skilled player but Jack Watts can't be allowed to play next week, He again displayed his recent trend of dropping absolute sitters (twice!) that cosy us goals and momentum, as well as being embarrassingly soft on occasions.

we are playing the toothless Tiges next week

Watts and Dawes will not be dropped

if Michie has another good game tomorrow, he comes in for Frost

Softest player the competition has ever seen. I would hate to play it's a soft [censored] like that.

OUT: Frost
IN: Pedersen

Let's reward our team's good efforts this week by setting this as our base team. You want in? Earn it in the VFL.

Forgot about Pedersen as the forward/2nd ruck option. How's he been going at Casey ? He does make us a bit top heavy up forward though not as mobile as Frost. If Michie plays well at Casey he is next in line

We still need run and speed. Particularly in a substitute if we're hoping they get through to 3/4 time to make an impact.

Yet I don't want to add Toumpas unless they are confident it will be a real Toumpas. Confident. Skilled. Speedy. Hard at it.

Would love to drop Watts. Maybe the sub role? But if we don't play a 2nd ruck we need someone who can draw the ball. Notice I didn't say take a mark. I think he stays. But if Roos, Jones or anyone else gets the question about his play this week they better not sugar coat the answer.

So someone in for Frost. I agree it's worth the risk of Dawes rucking. Don't mind the Watts rucking idea either.

Yeah Michie's probably the frontrunner for the spot. But I want to see reports that he's really impacting the game and running!!! Otherwise Matt Jones, Roh Bail, James Harmes or even Billy Stretch in as the sub. Why not?

Posted

Tomorrow arvo at Casey Fields shapes as crucial. There are 4 or 5 'possibles' but who will put their hand up? A perfect opportunity for someone who wants it badly enough to make the most of this opportunity. I'll be watching with interest.

6-day turnaround. After a hard slog in the wet. And after 2 straight interstate trips. Will this be a factor?

Frost out. Pederson in if needed.

Fresh legs, in order of preference: Michie, Toumpas, Grimes

In the gun: Dawes

Watts had an absolute shocker today but should stay. He was good against the Suns and normally plays his best against Richmond.

well the Tigers are playing in Brisbane tonight and its 24 degrees up there close to game time

Posted

out : Frost, Jetta ( ducking to avoid conflict cost us a goal) Kent

In : Gawn, Grimes & Michie.

Assuming the casey form is much the same as last week.

Canberra and Adelaide. 1 hour flights. Interstate means little to me.

Richmond are on a shorter turn around and coming back from Queensland. Any chance it will be 35 up there tonight?

Unless guys are sore and need a full rest I'll take those who played today over those who will play VFL tomorrow.

Can't go in with just 1 ruckman. What happens with Jamar gets injured?

Frost out, means we have to bring in another tall who can contest in the middle. I suppose it comes down to form. Gawn? Pederson? No answer is perfect, as all the talls at Casey are known for their ability to be a complete liability when not rucking. Pederson is probably the most versatile of the lot.

I'd bring in Pederson, play him down back, take Howe forward, and potentially drop Howe for another mid like Michie.

We need more legs in the middle.

LOL. Less than 0% of Jetta getting dropped. Seriously!

I can't even deal with this. Seriously. Can you find the footage. All I saw from Jetta was him keeping Betts to 1 goal and winning a heap of contested possessions.

Are you one of the clowns who think Jetta took a dive in the first game?

Kent???? For Michie. Laughable. Yeah he misses some chances. But seriously. He's not going anywhere.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
