Changes vs Pies (Queens Birthday)


What

Recommended Posts

you beauty.  we need Viney on Monday.   if we are to get anything out of this season we need a win, otherwise itll be 4 losses on the trot and all momentum gone

if he is 50-50 - for Viney that is pretty much 100%. unless the docs pull him, he wont pull out due to pain

The Legend continues to grow!

Viney won't get up, Two Changes 

Grimes for Omac

Kennedy for Harmes 

Yeh Viney was doing light duties with H this morning. Pretty sure he wont be a late Inclusion.

How dare the cub misinform us supporters about how long Viney would be out.  I'm outraged that playing with Buckley's head is considered more important.   Off to the microwave. I go....

I also agree but where to fit him in is the problem.

The two that immediately come to mind is Wags and Hunt but they've hardly done anything wrong. Maybe a rest would be possible but with the bye just around the corner it would hardly be warranted.

Replace Kent.

Defensive pressure Solid body. Experience.

Nor can I, but I cant imagine that will please too many on here

I wouldnt see him dropped either... more the case for whom ? 

Harrmes is off the boil, Benken  is bubbling over.  Youd expect maybe an ex Pie to revel in sticking the boot in ( again )

How the defence lines up is more about how their fwd lines up.

I believe the forecast is for a reasonably fair day, no rain. Perfect for footy at the G 

Go Dees, tear then one...

In: Grimes, Harmes

Out: Wagner, Kennedy

 

Cant see how Viney could get up. If he does would expect Bugg or VandenBerg to be out.

:wacko::unsure:...ummm.

hmmmmmm

I think that one change makes the most sense 

If Viney gets up (doubtful) could change to Viney for harmes and BenKen for Kent with Trenners to spend time in the forwardline to keep midfield rotation up. 

Fair day no rain? Puts big expectations on Garlett and Dawes to improve from last week. Conditions won't be an excuse if it's dry

but he is (very much) left handed, lh, with a high % of handballs

My bad, dc. It is his right hand.  Viney saw his surgeon on Monday and received a positive report on his right hand.  I guess this means he can handball: splint and bandage around his middle fingers - nice platform to hold the ball to handball with his left. :rolleyes:

I'm sure nothing fazes FIGJAM but I like that he has something extra to think about. To really mess with his head we can name Viney in the final 22 and when final lists are submitted 1hr before the game, replace him with an emergency, if necessary.

Edit: Don't know what to say dc.  Just saw this pic on our website.  It shows his left hand strapped.  So I was right the first time... 160609_Viney.jpg

Maybe this is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing...:wacko:

Surely if Viney plays he'll wear some sort of protective glove.

If he gets up he is a freak. I'd rather not risk him to be honest, even though we have to win this game to keep our season relevant.

Now we're really messing with Buckley's head.

Viney has a knuckle injury doesn't he? Whilst having surgery suggests lengthy recovery time in order for the bone to fully heal, I imagine the risks involved in breaking it again are less than other areas of the body. 

He'd have to hit somebody again with his hand or someone would have to kick his knuckle or something for further setback.

I feel like it's super important for him to play this week for a must win game for us. He can miss next week because I can't see us beating the swans in any way. And then there's the bye so that's two weeks off.

Yes, I'm a doctor.

Viney plays.

If he had played last week those two scenarios would have been probable.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
