Now BA don't get upset but ANZAC is an acronym and should be in upper case. I know Laser does not get capitalised but I think ANZAC deserves capitals. End rant here. love the jumper.

Fair call.

Bugg had 29 touches and 9 tackles today.  Zero chance of being dropped. Same goes for Tyson and Lumumba.  You guys are crazy.

Whoever mentions Lumumba as an out should be banned from here. This run and carry game style is suiting H and now starting to get back to his best football he played at the pies. He is not the on

IN: Garlett, Vince

OUT: M. Jones (stiff, but the above two have to come in), Oliver (rested)

FB: Wagner, Dunn, Jetta

HB: Lumumba, T. McDonald, Salem

C: Bugg, N. Jones, Tyson

HF: Harmes, Hogan, Kent

FF: Watts, Pedersen, Garlett

FOLL: Gawn, Vince, Viney

INT: Brayshaw, Frost, Hunt, Kennedy

EMERG: M. Jones, Petracca, Vandenberg

Matt Jones very stiff, but I don't know who else to leave out?  Roosy seems to like giving new kids a couple of games, so don't think it will be Hunt, be who knows?  I'd have Matt Jones as the 23rd man given how unlucky he is.  Petracca can have another run at VFL level.

Garlett and Bernie are best 22 in fact best dozen so they both have to come in no ifs or buts unless Garlett requires another week.  Maric will go it alone against Big Max so do we need both Pedersen and Frost, which I believe will be one of the unlucky omissions.

I think Oliver would have been given a rest if it was a 6 day turnaround but I think he may get another game under his belt and a rest the following week against the Saints.

Brayshaw, Matt Jones and Hunt will be one of the other unlucky omissions.

Petracca may be a chance but trying to find a likely out is something that after many long years is finally difficult

We have two massive advantages this week.  

  1. Ruck - Gawn against a very underdone Maric with pinch hitting from Vickery should give us an enormous advantage at the clearances.
  2. Small Forwards: Simply Richmond have no match-ups for Garlett, Kennedy, Kent. They could run wild.

We should be able to exploit these clear advantages. 

I think CP5 is a chance to play and obviously Vince and Garlett are certainties.  I think Frost or Paterson will make way for Garlett.  Vince will replace Hunt and if CP5 is given a run it will be while resting Oliver.

That's about the dumbest thing I've ever read. Stephen Powell kicked 32 goals in 2000, Bugg hasn't even scored this year. He just doesn't hurt teams with his possessions, no matter how many of them he has.

bugg is tough and an accumulator similar to powell !!!!!!! but thanks for the insult arswhole.

If we have to choose between Pederson and Frost, I'd rather Pedo for the here and now but can understand wanting to get Frost up and going (he's showing some positive signs). It's a tough call.

When in doubt ... last in, first out is the rule of thumb that the match committee might use as a default method. 

So, the players who came in as replacements for our game against Collingwood could be the ones under consideration to make way for Vince/Garlett/Petracca (if indeed all 3 do come in) 

Brayshaw, Pedersen & Hunt came in for the pies game but I've a feeling that 1 or 2 others might miss because of injury. 

Hard to see them not picking Brayshaw but Hunt & Pedersen might be the unlucky ones to miss out. Regardless, it's a nice position to be in.

I think giving Frost an extended run is more important, he played his best game on the weekend and still has a lot of room for improvement. He is still raw,  he is still a young,  developing tall,  and was drafted to and can be a very important cog in the machine if we're looking for someone who could potential be a swingman or cover for Gawn in a worst case scenario. His marking needs some work,  but so did Gawns at one point.  His follow up efforts are great,  his pace is great and there are signs there. 

Pedersen s what he is (which imo is good enough) time to backup judgement which saw us draft Frost in the first place and back him

Ha! ... it's just an "old school" (pardon the pun) way of dealing with the selecting of a team ... the player or players who come in as replacements are under no illusion that they're going to make way once the established top player or other top players return.  That can be explained to them in advance too - but not always. 

Unless, of course those replacement players absolutely dominate or in the case of Brayshaw, he was returning to the team rather than being brought in as a replacement.

Another way of selecting the team would be to look long term ... Pedersen & Matt Jones may not be seen as the future so both could make way

Or, a youngster or 2 could be "rested" (so to speak) for a number of reasons ... sometimes dropping a young player when they don't really deserve to be dropped is a way of improving that player - you know, see what he's made of and all that, toughen them up etc etc.  Even Bradman got dropped (after his first game)

What starts out as a perceived negative can be turned into a huge positive ... again, it's a nice position to be in EH.  The eventual selected team won't be in a comfort zone - and that's a good thing.

In's - Vince & Garlett

Out's - I agree give Oliver a weeks rest and if Gus comes up, it's either Matt Jones or Hunt both very unlucky. I would not drop Bugg, Lumumba or Frost.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
