I DON'T KNOW I ONLY GO BY WHAT I READ IN REPORTS, MAYBE ASK SOMEONE THAT GETS DOWN TO CASEY AND WATCHES!???

And if you were smart enough I haven't mentioned once Harmes is ready so don't try and put words into my mouth. Going by the reports personally I wouldn't mind seeing him get a go.

Thank you! No need to shout!

Yes, I think going by what I have seen he is ready NOW!

We should make multiple changes for no other reason than to make me feel a whole lot better and yeah, there's the Darwin energy sapping travel bit too.

Out: Spencer (stiff but the two ruckman experiment is over for now), Bail, M Jones, Toumpas, Howe (Please!)

In: Fitzpatrick (if we need for back up ruck work, otherwise Grimes), JKH, Lamumba, Harmes (upgrade), Newton

I feel better already

PS I'd even consider Riley in as the sub to smash up a few in the last (e.g.. Goddard)

Hell never get Goddard unfortunately he never goes near a contested ball

It has come up numerous times but do we seriously think letting Howe dish up such poor performances week in week out really assists his trade value more than dropping him? Are other clubs really that stupid?

Richmond almost traded pick 12 for an injured Trengove, and were only lucky that he failed a medical at the very last minute.

So my answer is yes, yes they are.

Lets put him on the long term injury list then before he does any further damage to his trade value and his own career prospects...

I don't think they have it in them...they're cooked.

Would need to be a massive turnaround and can only see that happening now if Hird walks or is pushed.

You can't trust anything you read on BigFooty but there's lots of chatter that Hird lost most of the playing group after his little escapade to Europe during the bye.

Also that many players were snickering and rolling their eyes during Hird's halftime address.

If he's finally lost the playing group they'll continue to perform like garbage until the club ditches him. They are capable of far better than their pathetic display today.

Just as we happily call them 'Essendrug' and 'Essendope' among other things on here. It works both ways.

When a team goes in tall to expose the opposition defence you need to at least have players who can mark the ball, otherwise you are not exposing anything other than the fact you don't have the cattle to do the job.

I'm sick to death of people posting rubbish on here about so & so's work rate, leadership, how they provide a contest ...bring the ball to ground.

Contest & bring the ball to ground...we had 4 players in our forward line to do that job on the weekend and when they did get to the contest and bring it to ground WC waltzed away with the ball. A novel idea is to get some players who can mark the ball and a few others who can crumb and provide defensive pressure.

I think Howe in current form is a waste of space, Dawes needs to be traded or retired and we can only go in with one true ruck.

Someone seemed to think those of us wanting Harmes to get a game are delusional, well that might be but his form has been good, he is a tough inside player who can play outside, kicks a goal and can take a strong mark.

I might be delusional but I think we could use someone with those traits.

    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.
