Bugg did his hammy didn't he?

 

So that's one. VandenBerg looked sore and Stretch and Oliver came into the game as it went on but the latter in particular looked to be running up and down on the one spot at one stage.

 

Bugg for Garlett? Grimes? ANB?

 

Depends on the role required on a small ground I guess.

No changes.

Except 90 less fuc%$^n handballs. Against the Swans, they will destroy us if we continue to f$^^k around with the footy

Some people are never happy. Come on mate enjoy the big win over the enemy.

Wagner out for Grimes... Wagner is supposed to be in the side for his disposal and its been fairly average lately & his descion making is just as bad. Go back to Casey & work on those areas.

With Tippet out we have on serious advantage going into next week, which is the ruck. 

Do we exploit that and bring in Spencer? 

Just a thought.

I agree. Wagner has been pretty poor for a couple of weeks now. Needs a rest. Grimes or Lamumba if fit.

IF there's a change, the only player that deserves to come in from Casey, is Matt Jones.

Strech needs a rest?

No he doesn't. Next to Watts is our best by foot. Still had 18 possessions and was very good in the 2 previous rounds.

Getting to be a very good disposer, good by foot and hand. I'd keep him. Even if he's not taking the game apart on a weekly basis, he's not playing all that badly.

Agree that next two cabs off the rank would be Grimes and Matt Jones, but short of injuries, I don't see them getting a run.

I expect at some stage Harmes probably comes back for Trengove. I love Trenners, but the speed just isn't there right now. At the SCG against a contested ball team in Sydney I'm sure he stays. 

Swans might bring in a ruck and Sam Reid, so the 3 defenders stay. 

Wagner's made a few mistakes but I can't see him going out for Grimes. Grimes is a midfielder/wingman now. Should never play again at half back. So unless Grimes came in and Bugg went back I can't see that happening.

Mitch White might come in for Wagner if he was eligible for promotion from the rookie list but as far as I know he isn't.

Wagner was actually pretty good early, but he's the only one who had an average day overall. Oliver was a bit scrappy at times. Pretty much everyone else played well.

No unforced changes this week.

Wagner might not have had the best game......  But he breaks or threatened to break the line very single time....... unlike  many others, or any other that could take his spot

I think Sam Reid got injured in their reserves, was mentioned by the commentators if I recall

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
