Would like to see the Casey results first, but Weideman almost certainly to go back. Melksham has been ok this year imo, but was shocking today. Hannan probably due to go back for a few as well.

Hogan > Weideman

Hibberd > Melksham

Brayshaw if he plays well a chance to replace Hannan.

Just as the op suggested.

Backing up the other posters. I'd like to keep Weid because he looked promising in the first 2 matches with Hogan. But it all depends on Casey and if Hibbard is ready to go

Agree with first two

  Weed looked injured as well as lost - time to reset

  Melksham ? another Essendon Trojan Horse?  Turns over far too much. Hopefully Hibberd may be different

  Hannan - depends on whom is pressing from Casey. Let's see how Tim Smith goes, and Brayshaw and even Trengove

Corkie or not, Weed can stand around watching his team mates contest at Casey.

What's with Jake? His field kicking has been ok up to now.

A brayshaw or Trengove in for Hannan would have given Goodwin some more flexibility. Against the tigers we will need this.

In: Hogan, Hibberd, Trengove 

out: Weed, Melksham, Hannan

Big chance for some players at Casey this weekend - Brayshaw, Pedersen and Kennedy to name a few.  Their performance will go along way to deciding the changes for next weekend.

You would think Weideman has used up his chances for the time being and will be straight out for Hogan.  Will Hibberd be right to go after one week at Casey?  Most of us would hope so but we know what happens when you take in a player who is underdone.  Hannan is another who might be on the chopping block and if one of Kennedy or JKH can impress then they may get a run as well.

Indeed that last spot is a toss up. Quite right to see what happens at Casey

Lets wait until Casey have played. Still can't understand the dropping of Brayshaw last week.

Hannan was a very good contributor today. He will not be dropped.

Just saw Melkshams stats..

10 disposals 0 contested 10 uncontested 3 tackles and 7 turnovers.

Under Paul Roos he wouldn't get a game with those numbers. Will Goody drop his mate?

Look to this weeks emergencies first and see how they go on Monday as this has been the hint each week as to who is next in line for promotion.

Trengove, Oscar and Smith were this weeks emergencies so I would not be at all surprised to see Jack back. I expect Hogan to replace Weed. It may be Weed and Melksham for Hogan and Trengove and hope there are no further injuries.

If I remember correctly, he had zero contested and 18 uncontested possessions last week, bit of a pattern there.

As much as I want to see Hibberd in, just can't see it yet.

The one JLT game he had, he was way off his best.

Probably needs a few runs after missing a season.

Cant wait to get Hibberd into the side, but I doubt one Casey game will be enough especially if he doesnt play a lot of game time

Hope I am wrong though.

Out

Weikaspissernam Melksham Tyson Hannan

 

IN

Hogan Pedersen JKH/Kennedy Hibberd

 

IMO a lot of people are fooled by Tyson irrelevant touches.. he is a slow accumulator who's foot skill are ordinary and too slow to actually use it..

Agree, plus toss in the lack of defensive pressure.

But being an ins and outs thread:

Out Weid,, Tyson

In: Hogan, Brayshaw

Hibberd in next the following round for Melksham

This week:

Hogan for Weid. Thats it.

BECAUSE then you've got Jordy and Hibberd ready the following week, and Brayshaw hopefully in touch and knocking down the door. He's too good for the 2's.

I also think our midfield need to be held accountable for that loss and be given a chance to atone. They were nowhere near it in the 3rd and they owe us a 4 quarter effort.

Still not convinced about Hannan, but if Hibberd and Lewis go back, Vince and Salem can go to the wings and everyone rolls forward one spot pushing Hannan and Melksham out.

I still wish we had another forward target. Watts and Hogan are good, but that 3rd versatile forward option is what we lack. I think the long term need for that and the Hogan suspension is all thats kept Weid and Hannan in.

I've been a massive Weid critic and wanted him dropped last week. I wasn't able to make it to the game yesterday but on the radio they were reporting he copped a heavy corcky to his right leg in the first quater.

Wouldn't be surprised if he is out injured rather than ommitted. He's normally an accurate shot for goal and he couldn't even strike it from 25m out.

He is defenintly more effective when Hogan is in the team but i don't think he'll get the chance to prove that next week.

Could Kelty come in for Melksham?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
