I loved our spine against the Hawks - TMac, Frost, N Jones, Dawes, Hogan. If that group can find some consistency then our developing midfield has a strong foundation to work from. I think Pedo is a vital swingman and we need his utility, but can we fit him onto the bench with that spine in place, Gawn in Ruck, and a very tall Watts playing as a tall forward? Not too sure.

Harmes appears to be the one out of touch. Kent has lost his attack on the ball and tackling pressure.  These two out,  but unsure who to bring in. Probably need Dunn for Cloke.

I don't think we can play Hogan, Dawes, Watts and Pedersen in the same side.

IMO, Pedersen and Dawes are fighting for the same spot and on what I saw yesterday, I'm not sold on Dawes. The more so given Pedersen will do the second ruck duties which is a far better option to Watts.

OMac will not get dropped. Those here that say that Frost is a better defensive option are seriously deluded. I f we are going to drop a key defender, it will be Frost.

For me, I would keep that same team if possible.

Your kidding ? I thought Frost did some nice things AND he is quicker than O Mac

I hope Grimes plays well. Id bring him in for Harmes to play that Wing/half forward. What you will get from Grimes is pressure acts and tackling and he will give you genuine 100% effort.

Harmes is starting to really tire out now and Grimes is the perfect replacement.

I start a new job on QB, would it look bad if I took a sicky to watch the game? Kent out Kennedy in.

Depends who the boss barracks for.

But let them know early that you will be more productive if allowed to go, and if/ when we win you will be ultra productive with a positive attitude that will inspire the company. Of course should we lose you will be ultra productive as you focus on tasks and concentrate on displaying the resilience that all employees need to perform at their maximum.

It sounds like I'd be doing my new workplace a disservice if I were to work on QB.

 Nine day break.  We are a better team and it will be disappointing if we do not smash them.

Please don't make statements like that. We will be a better team on the day if we win. It's a week to week call.

In - Kennedy, Spencer

Out - Dawes, Harmes

I wouldn't mind these changes. It's Harmes or Kent out for Kennedy IMO. At least Spencer could take second ruck, provide a tall target to kick to and is quicker and more agile than Dawes.

I didn't particularly rate Dawes' game yesterday but they're not going to drop Dawes after one game.

Have we dropped anyone this season after one game? I'm not sure. We gave Michie, ANB and Newton at least two games each.

You're probably right, TU, but that's what I'd do.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
