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

    Unchanged except maybe Kennedy in.

    I felt we had a good side in against the Hawks and the result proved that.

    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.

    Ins: Lumumba, Kennedy, Pedersen, Viney (hoping for a quick recovery)

    Outs: Harmes, O.McDonald, Dawes, Gartlett

     

    ??? Garlett out - you are kidding 

    Dawes played ok for his 1st game back and the conditions were against the big guys

    3 QTRS we were in it, so I can't see the need for changes. Dawes,Trengove and Vander will be better for the run. If we can win 6 more matches it would be good.

    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.

    I presume your new employment is in a morally corrupt industry Ethan.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
