Forgot about Vince. Might get a week. 

If so I'd probably leave Vandenberg in. 

Out Vince, Bugg

In Brayshaw, Garlett

Players will be dropped  in relation to our opponent - Collingwood, who are dominated by a whole pack of B grade midfielders.

I would love Peders in for Frost, but we need Frost's height and speed as a DEFENDER to counter Moore so this change is unlikely.

Garlett comes in for sure but I can only think of Bugg to be dropped and they play so differently it is not a good swap.

Bernie will go for a few weeks, so Brayshaw comes back in.

AVB has been seriously disappointing so far this season. 

I still think we brought him back in to the seniors too soon.  I think he needed a few weeks at Casey to get rid of the cobwebs after his injury but he wasn't given the chance.  Plus it seemed as though he was going to spend plenty of time in the midfield, yet he has been stuck up forward for the majority of it.

Forward and pinch hitting in the ruck.

Ok thankyou. So who played on Waite/Brown/Petrie? And how did Stretch and Wagner play? Either of them to be dropped?

Definitely. And just as bad, he is letting my very proud and illustrious super coach team down.

They rotated on them.  Dunn and McDonald spent most of the time on them, while I believe Lumumba spent some time on Brown as well.  I'm not totally sure on that though, others at the game might be able to give more insight.

Stretch was handy, Wagner was just okay.  Both should keep their spots for next week.

Vince does only clip him, so should only be a week.

I'd suspend simply for stupidity. What a dumb thing to do. His absence will be huge against the filth.

Vince will get 1, maybe 2 depending on how inconsistent the MRP want to be. 

IN - Brayshaw, Garlett

Out - Vince, Stretch (didn't do anything wrong as such, just reckon we need to give AVB more time). 

The other thing is - I don't want to see Frost play as a forward ever again. The experiment surely needs to be marked a fail at this point. Maybe bring Pedo in, and move Frost back.

I also don't want to see Howe play a flukey cameo and rub it in that he left, the pea heart. Presumably Lumumba gets the match up or maybe Wagner, - wouldn't be shocked if the brought Garland back to play on him (not saying i want that to happen, before all the hate is directed my way.

If Howe gets another game after the (lack of) effort he put in on Saturday then Collingwood are in big trouble. He was a ghost.

They won't drop him after one game especially when he is coming against his old club.

I think we've seen the last of Garland.  Hallelujah! 

Also think Jeffy is a definite in,  whilst one of ANB and Brayshaw gets a run. 

Maybe in: Jeffy,  Brayshaw 

Out: Vince,  Stretch

I don't think they'll drop him either due to the circumstances, but that's because they are in big trouble. His effort was pathetic and he'd be dropped in any other team any other week.

Are you talking about Matt Jones or Bernie Vince?

Jones did it two or three times, Vince did it nine or ten!

Frost, M Jones, Harmes, Kent. will be in the gun.

 

we won't see Petracca or Trenners, ANB, Brayshaw, Garlett and Pedders should come in. I doubt weeds would come in either.

No room for Pederson IMO. Harmes had five tackles and wouldn't be first out for me. Kent did kick four. For my money two changes is enough for a team that could have just as easily taken the points.

Garlett in for Wagner.

Someone in for Frost.

Fair dinkum, dude....did you watch the game?

Clearly Brayshaw and Jeffy are best 22. If fit they are in.

Bugg is one out - so Garlett is first in.

Frost for mine is the next out and Brayshaw in.

I know that creates height / match up imbalances but [censored] that, we need those two in our best side.

Regardless of todays outcome, given Casey Form last night I have both Weeds and Petracca in next week vs Collywobles!

The rest I will think about after todays game!

Looking at reports from those who actually attended the Casey game, I don't think anyone said the Weed was ready for a game yet, but you obviously know better.

Some would ask you the same if you are saying to drop Watts.

    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. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
