I think both Gus and Lumumba will both play another game at Casey before being considered.  If Lumumba can get back to some good form he releases Vince to midfield and we become a lot more damaging forward of centre.   I think Dunn for O Mac is the logical one, but considering we're playing the Bombers, they may go with another runner as well.

    Out Omac, maybe Bugg and one of Pedo or Frost, too tall with both.

    In Dunn, Brayshaw, H.

     

    H frees up Vince to go back into the middle of the ground where he belongs.

    out; OMAC & Bugg

    in; Dunn & Brayshaw

    M. Jones has turned it around massive.

    Not a fan of playing both Pederson and Frost in the same side. It's one or the other for mine. Dunn will come in for O Mac and would love to see Brayshaw play.

    Dunn in,  O Mac out

    Tyson out [couple weeks @ Casey focusing on what to do with the pill when he gets it]  Brayshaw or Petracca in.

    Possible Bugg out [2 huge mistakes in Q1]     in-  H, Brayshaw or Terlich (only if he's as improved as some say)

    Nope we need skills at half back. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Add an extra mid, don't move Vince from where he is needed for Lumumba's lack of skills/smarts

    I disagree, get Vince getting the ball from the mid forward, he is not a great defender nor is Salem. One is ok, two equals lose players for them. If Salem stays on half back, Vince needs to go in the midfield.

    You guys reckon Garlett will get off for his hit on Davis?

    They have a rule on insufficient force.

    Brayshaw in for Bugg (Tyson is lucky)

    Dunn in for O.Mac

    Lumumba in but not sure who for. Maybe Frost (Harmes's best is better) - and we push Tyson forward.

    I still don't get why people have such a hard-on for Frost.  Even if he gets it, you know he won't kick the goal.  By any measure, Pederson had more impact today even below his best.

    I don't understand the "experience" comments re Lumumba.. All i've seen is him getting the ball, running with it and banging it it a mile in the air,

    On a slightly different matter, does anyone think think this this years scarf is a bit short?

    Looks the same to me. Has your neck gotten thicker DN?

    Took a number of good marks and otherwise got to the right spots down back. We needed him in the midfield after half time but we don't solve our lack of skill from half back with Lumumba. If the plan was Vince and Salem we should stick to it. 

    The defenders will get more cohesion as they work together. 

    Lumumba can come in and play half back and bit of wing, similar to how Bugg played, but I still think we need one of Jones and Vince back there. We need skill and smarts back there.

    Out: O. McDonald (injured or dropped), Brayshaw

    I would not be upset if Tyson was dropped, Frost stays in simply to help Gawn and Pedersen in the ruck.

    Now that is a neat trick CB poor Brayshaw gets  flung when he did not play today.

    Dunn in for O Mac straight swap and that improves our backline. 

    Love to see Brayshaw back. 

    Agree. Dunn for OMac. But I think Gus, H and Tracc will get at least another week at Casey before consideration. Obviously also depends upon match ups. Wonder if Garlett will get cited by MRP

    I think the first game for the Scorps is 9/2 so we can't drop anyone to the twos otherwise I would be saying drop Tyson just so he can work out what to do with a bit more time up his sleeve. As some one else suggested he may be able to do that against the bummers. Omac had a run and will benefit from it and Dunny should be back in for him. Leave Brayshaw JT and Petracca where they are this week at least. Trust the selectors to do what they will with Lumumba. Lots to look forward to, lots to be excited about. Maybe their bad kicking helped us but our lack of conversions from inside 50's helped them  so I reckon that squares it up a bit.

    In: Dunn, Brayshaw

    Out: OMac (inj), Bugg/Frost

    I'm not convinced Lumumba is best 22 so I don't think he's automatically back in.

    Not sure who to drop for Brayshaw. Might be a tall, I felt we were too tall at times in the forward line. If so I'd drop Frost. He's just a more mobile Dawes at the moment but a worse shot for goal and no better at marking. If not, then I'd drop Bugg. Harmes offers a little more as a half-forward who can snag a goal or two (but absolutely needs to lift his output).

  • Quote

    Out:OMac

    In: Brayshaw or H.

    I think we were a little tall today, and Frost and Pedo up front clogged up the forward line. Watts is the third tall doesn't crowd Hogan as much. Against the bombers I don't think we need to load up with talls, and should not go like for like.

    Pedo can take CHB for next week, did a good job when moved there late I thought.

    agreed chook.  if the prince comes in, & Vince stays at back flank, Salem could come up to wing?

    frost could go back to CHB, or pedo?

     

    interesting selection week.

    We won so I don't reckon the boat will get too much of a shake but Brayshaw is best 22 and must come in.

    Someone else can work it out.

    I not sure we can afford an underdone Brayshaw & Oliver,  in the same side.  can't drop Oliver.

    I think Brayshaw needs a full game,  before he comes back after a month off training/running.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
