Changes v Port Adelaide


gOLLy

Recommended Posts

IN: Viney, Tyson, Jetta

OUT: Bail. M.Jones, Fitzpatrick (Harsh, but don't seen the need for an extra tall against Port)

Schulz, Westhoff and one of Lobbe or Ryder resting forward requires TMac, Dunn and Fitzy to play as tall defenders

He should miss because he has no form to bring into the team. Play 5 or 6 at Casey and put some form on the board then he may be considered.

Forget the calf.

Plus, Pedersen deserves to hold his spot.

Hence the line above from my original post.

It is all smoke and mirrors - there is no way on God's green earth that Roos will make four changes on the back of the most encouraging win we've had in ages, to fly a whole lot of underdone and/or out of form blokes up to Alice to play in the heat. This is especially so given that doing so will burn guys like Riley, Newton, Pedersen, Jones and Bail, who have worked their bums off and actually all had pretty good games.

Laughable.

One change, max, assuming Matt Jones goes out. I'd say Jetta in, but even that creates problems because Grimes will have to push into the midfield and I'm not sure that's ideal.

The idea we would keep Jones/Bail instead of a fit Viney is the laughable bit

OUT:

M.Jones - did well, but given the concussion combined with the 6 day break and flight, he won't play

Bail - can't believe people are trying to say he had a good game, he may done part of his job defensively, but you need more than 5 disposals, 3 tackles, missed his only chance on goal, which was crucial

Newton or Riley - either would be a bit stiff, but one will need to make way if all of Jetta, Viney and Tyson are fit

IN:

Jetta

Viney
Tyson

I think only one of Jetta or Viney if they are ready to go, wouldn't bring in 2 off an extended break.

Tyson in if ok.

What makes you think he's fit?

i'm saying IF

he was suggesting one change regardless just because were coming off a win

you include your guns when they're fit, last week is history now

I completely forgot about the Hoff when stating that Fitzy might be unlucky as well. This match should have some really great one on one battles.

Dunn vs Schulz. I think Dunny got the chocolates last year.

T Mac vs Westhoff. Both players are fantastic runners, should be a great contest.

Fitzy vs Lobbe/Ryder when resting. A good chance for Fitz to showcase his ability against more mature players and prove his worth.

Nev (if in) vs the Chad.

Also, guessing that Vince will go to Robbie Gray who's in cracking form.

He did push hard in that last quarter although a few of his kicks did fall short.

Just seemed to lack a bit of his usual grunt/speed as well.

Are you for real?? FMD we have some ridiculous comments on this site.

How about the 40 players that didn't get 11 touches in the last quarter?? How are they all going?

Westhoff runs too far up the ground - we want TMac closer to goal I would think. Maybe FItzy can run with him?

A convenient excuse I would have thought.

If he stays at Casey then it means the forward line is performing well and that's a good thing.

It's not that hard is it ? I am a Dawes fan but in the forward line you have room for two "power" forwards, two smalls and two other bigger running/marking targets ( Howe and Watts). So it comes down to Pedo, Hogan and Dawes - you pick two and on form it is not a hard choice.

Me too lol. Fitz stays in the team for me after reading this.

Jadk VIney is not on the official injury list.. Take it with a grain of salt though

http://www.afl.com.au/news/injury-news/injury-list

More like half a KG hh

The only thing I believe about injury lists is where it says out for the season.

The rest is made up to

- keep supporters positive that stars may return soon

- keep the opposition guessing

Truth is a very secondard consideration.

IS THAT AN F-BOMB?

This weeks injury report:

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2015-05-27/rd-9-injury-report

I have noticed a couple of videos this year which haven't been edited properly - I think Burgo releases the F-bomb in this one...

Tyson and Dawes (probably available)

Jetta and Viney (given the all clear)

Really want to wait on Tyson. He hasn't looked the player he was last year so I'd give him as long as he needs to be 100% not 95%

The gap must be greater than just 5% I would've thought.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
