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

:rolleyes:

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:

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.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
