One of the lighter bodied talls because they usually don't do well in the wet.

Id list these as out talls.

Hogan, Watts, Dawes, Gawn, Tmac, Omac, Frost.

who would Spencer replace, the lighter frames I'd say are Omac and Watts, possibly Frost. Spencer is not going to play key defence so that rules out Frost and Omac which leaves watts...

You would swap Spencer for Watts?

    I'd have Hogan as the CHF, his more natural position. Weed at FF, Watts is too valuable to be stuck deep forward so have him on a high roaming flank, Hulett as a FP maybe?

     

    Petracca               Hogan          Watts

    Garlett/Kennedy    Weed          Hulett

     

    It is very tall

    No. I didn't say that.

    It's not slow though. I was going to initially put Hogan at CHF. I actually now think I'd have Kent at HFF with Watts on a wing.

    Whats that got to do with the Casey VFL Match?

    I'd be reasonably happy if they just wrote Gus off this year and made sure he was super-fit and ready for next.  We're not feeling the loss too badly so no need to rush with him.  He's only in his second year.  Plenty more to come if we manage him well now.

    That goal was pretty special.  He still has injury and fitness issues, but if they get them sorted out he's going to be a great addition to their side.

    That's two huge games from Spencer and Matt Jones in a row now, gotta be knocking loudly on the selection door.

    Today I would say the same. Tomorrow, after knocking the Swannies off, and with a spring in my step, I say get him back.;)

    Fair point.

    He looked a bit overweight for me personally. Saw bits of the game but not all of it.

    Matt Jones was shocking against Collingwood last week.

    Yeah, but who actually wants them in the team ?

    It's good to have pressure from below though.

    Great win from the boys! It's a pity that Garlett doesn't seem to have got much form back though.

    On Hulett - does he do any ruck work?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
