Spencer in for Gawn the obvious forced change. 

We cant afford to lose this game it would be a huge early blow to our finals chances, and Freo have started very well vs the Doggies in the game just underway in Perth.

In:  Spencer, Pedersen

Out:  Gawn, Weideman

Hannan may also get the chop for someone like Ben Kennedy.  I'd love to add Hibberd to the list as well but he needs a week or two at Casey.

They should be breathing fire after today.

Spencer gets his chance.

Would have loved a Casey game for Pedersen, Frost and others to push their claim, but the ridiculous VFL fixture has robbed them of that chance.

Have a look at how the young Moore is going at Collingwood without Cloke.

Neither he nor Weideman are ready for the number 1 backman and nor should they be.

The Weed is the future and unless you think he will improve playing with an unco-ordinated system on a windy oval such is the VFL... we need to keep playing him

I know you want to keep running with the OMac theme, but deep down you know it won't happen.  Nice try.

Is Frost not a better option?

I didn't say that.  They may bring him in as the third tall, but whatever happens, it won't be at the expense of OMac.

Spencer for Gawn is obvious.

I'll keep my powder dry on the 'ins' until we have some feedback from Casey's 3/4 practice match today, but Hannan has struggled for the last two weeks as has Weid.

I thought Neal Bullen poor today and that chip back into the square dropable alone!!

Harmes also not the answer. Stick with Hannan and Weeds

Bring in Spencil, Frost, Kennedy and Bugg

I think you *are* basing it on that chip back alone.

Think about it... everyone says we played well etc etc

next week we play Freo

The replacements are not match fit (practice matches in the VFL are not quite the same)

So .. why change unless forced ... Spencer in

Time to show faith

Brayshaw for Harmes, Bugg for Hannan, Frost for either Weideman or Smith, Pencil for Max.

I'll like to free up vince to go forward/mid. We desperately need some class up there. Really don't think vince is suited down back 

Bring in Wagner or hibberd if ready

I can't recall too many games where a player is virtually unsighted and you start to look at the team sheets to check if they are actually playing. Sam Weiderman had one of those today. Needs to go back to Casey for a bit.

Gawn and Hogan are arguably our two most important players and we won't have either of them next week, it's a worry no matter who we play.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
