I expect Kent to get another chance this year, it's not a particularly tough team to break into at the moment.

That said, I hope the selectors don't reward Dean for another one-off effort at Casey. He needs to put in three or more consecutive weeks of 100% effort and intensity before they should even think of bringing him back.

    I'd like to see Hunt started at half back. Let him work himself into the game and if he can't, then try a wing or half forward. Without Salem, I reckon we'll need more half back run, so he'll play mostly off half back.

    Valid point. But with Frost showing more run out of defence. Imagine him being able to kick over the top or kick to Hunt on a fast break?

    I think Hunt down back earlier is a must. One of my beefs with many games to date is we seemed to want to jump out of the blocks... We continually tripped up esp as we never seem switched to "100% attention" til the 2nd qtr :rolleyes:.

    Letting all settle into their game/roles and tempering to the tempo seems the best approach at present. We're undermanned. Caution is required.

    As game develops you can 'up' things.

    Tbh Hunt seems naturally aware and adjusts, but start him back. His thrust off the hb is important.

    He's looked off all year. Pure speculation but it seems something is not right with him mentally. He's never been consistent but he just looks a mile off his best atm. Hopefully his heart is still in it.

    That was climbing the mountain before skiing down hill. I wonder what juicy incentives the players have to get them to turn up this week?

    Injuries aside he would be under no illusion what he needs to work on and he would need to repeat that over several weeks.

    Kent has become a revolving door player,he offers currency thou small and can be traded.

    Looks overweight to me. Which is odd, because for most of the last decade our payers have looked undersized, rather than the reverse. I wonder whether he needs to change his body shape to be less Colin Sylvia and more, say, Christian Salem?

    Dean Kent needs to change his brain and application shape to be less Sylvia, more Salem

    Actually it is. The players being dropped generally fall into the Kent-ANN-Bugg-Harmes-Stretch group. Our midfield is settled. We have 5-6 guys fighting for those 2 additional flank/wing positions. It seems like we're "shuffling deck chairs" as they say but it's clear that Goodwin is trying to get consistentcy with this group. Kent needs a solid 10 weeks at Casey. Not as punishment. He needs to work his way in now. I assume the reason Stretch is having a, ahem, Stretched out time in the VFL is for this reason. We won't see Kent for a while. Whoever is in the side when Gawn and Hogan come back I assume will be there for a while.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
