Gipsy Danger
in Melbourne Demons

I love the idea of it haha (even though it likely wouldn't work as you have pointed out).

Terlich gets lost too easily, does a tom mcdonald run from defense, turns the ball over and cant find his man, he is hard though (like pig dog).

Who in our VFL side is actually a very good kick of the ball?? is anyone?

Bring that person in.

stretch and harmes, but they're not ready yet

 

Clarke will destroy Dawes.

What we can take heart from is that Ayce Cordy was annihilated in the ruck by Jacobs on the weekend, but the Dogs' midfield was harder, hungrier and faster, so it didn't matter.

Conversely, even if we even up the ruck stakes, if our mids can't match it with Fyfe/Mundy/Barlow/Neale/etc., our 'win' in the ruck will be for nothing.

That's not to say we shouldn't care, but given neither Gawn or Spencer are exactly in form right now, I'm leaning towards leaving them out and going in as we went against Richmond. IMO that's preferable to bringing in an out of form player (not how Roos is operating in 2015).
 

At least they make the contest and win the pill What biases are you speaking about BinK?

If that's your argument, Toumpas and Grimes won more of the pill. And if that's your argument, James Magner would be in our first 22 every week.

Unfortunately Jetta could miss more than 1 week. Hope he is back to his healthy self very soon. Glad to hear the club is looking after him.

Grimes for Jetta

Fitzpatrick for Kent . ........When Clark or sandilands go forward. Give the job to fitz. Howe can go forward or back to cover kent loss as game unfolds.

Fitz and Dawes can back up jamar

I think either Newton or Grimes could be capable of playing Kent's role of a defensive forward, then H to play Jetta's role.

I'd say just bring in the two best performing mids from Casey which at the moment is Grimes and Toumpas.

RILEY RILEY AND RILEY!!

Until Toumpas displays an appetite for the contest and gets 3 BOG at Casey he shouldn't get a Gig!

This has to be a concern...

Rohan Bail: Rohan played half of the game, but was concussed, so he went off the ground a bit after half-time. For the time that he was on the ground, he was serviceable and played his role.


Agree worry about Bail. Last year I thought he was only 1 more concussion away from retirement, won't be seen this week.

yeah i think that's enough. his health is more important than being a depth player. should seriously consider retirement

no-one can ever say he didn't give it his best shot

Agreed. We were all very disturbed to hear Daniel Bell after he left the game was experiencing headache's and symptoms consistent multiple concussions over the years.

Bail has had a fair amount of history with concussions, I hope he and the club are very wary of this for the rest of his time with us.

RILEY RILEY AND RILEY!!

There is a certain other player who doesn't display "an appetite for the contest" yet gets a regular gig!!

Oh for Christ's Sake, give it a rest you Moron. We get it....you don't like the Toump.

Did he go out with your sister?


What's the need for a match against dockers?

talls. Pedeson, Gawn fitz

Strength. Reilly

Run. Bail

Potential. Toumpas

Wrong on all counts. The answer is talent, not physical capabilities. And you left out Grimes who is a lock to come in for Jetta.

I know this is never going to happen, but I'd like to see Terlich brought in for Kent. His disposal is iffy, I'll grant you, but he has plenty of hunger for the contest and tackles hard. If his primary job was to cause some havoc in the forward line (creating spillages that JKH and Jeffy could capitalise on) then I reckon he could excel.

Seem to recall that being tried once and it was a horrible failure.

It was tried in the game against the Bulldogs at Etihad last year and, yes, it was a horrible failure. Terlich kept getting "lost" in the forward line.

None of Saty's training reports or the Casey reports suggest Terlich has been training with the forwards or playing in the forward line, so I can't see why it would happen now. In fact, this thread is full of left field suggestions (Howe in the ruck, for example). The biggest surprise to me would be if Roos played anyone in a role they haven't been training for or playing in.

agreed, our stability/consistency is very important at the moment.. injuries have ruined it a bit but we should limit the amount of change as much as possible, that's why it should be Grimes for Jetta and Toumpas for Kent and leave the rest as is

Jetta is one of my first picked but Grimes replacing him isn't a massive loss.

Grimes can play, he's just been out of sorts for a while. However, the positive for me is that like Michie from all reports he has played well in the VFL and will have earned is spot in a team that has been playing reasonable football.

Grimes can't contest physically, can't stick a tackle and stop the ball, panics under pressure in fact a turn over specialist.Just what we need to replace Jetta!

i've been thinking of the changes all day

i'll get back to y'all just after dinner with my predictions

Didn't bail cop a knock to the head af Casey last week ? If he did would think with his history he'd be out this week. If that's the case im going:

IN: Grimes, Toumpas

OUT: Jetta, Kent

Other 3 on the extended bench named tonight: Spencer, Jones, Riley

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
