I mooted that Lewis might be rested well not after today well done.

And Lewis said on SEN he has only played 7 games this year after his enforced layoff so he said he is on that plane!

Goodwin was just on SEN 1) Gawn will play 2) Watts's scan came up clear. As long as he gets through training tomorrow will play. 3) Hibberd will 100% play. Always pulls up sore with his

Going to really stick my neck out here: In: Gawn Out: Injured player If no player is injured, I quit.  Too hard.

It's only natural after such a bitterly disappointing loss.

Goody said Jones and Watts were kept off in the last as a precaution.  What a luxury to be 50 points up!  Would suggest these two are in if they pull up.

If Gawn is in, I have no idea who goes out.  TMac goes back onto Kennedy, OMac on Captain Darling.

Watts is so valuable.  Really want him to come up.

Great to have real pressure on selection.

Isn't it funny - 2 weeks ago everyone was pushing for OMac to be the 1st dropped with Bugg hot on his heels, but both have had very good week. OMac is in a lot of peoples votes tonight (including quite a few who have him as BOG). Also interesting was that I thought TMac had his best game since he's been pulled out of the backline.

Personally I think it'll be an unlucky injured player (Jones at worst). Watts in an interview with Fox straight after the game said he was only off as a precaution, so I doubt it'll be him.

If Jones is OK then it'll either be ANB who played better today, but still had some of the worst disposal for the team, or else Melksham if the selectors didn't like his shutdown role on JJ (but I don't see that happening). Whoever is out will have to consider themselves unlucky, but then again having players good enough that don't play is a sign of a good team.

Summary:

In: Gawn

Out: ANB

Might be a bit controversial but Vince is just going. Could he be the one to make way?

Yep it isn't going to happen but Bernie has been in the bottom few for me over the last bit. Maybe still suffering from his dodgy toe but a long, long way from his B n F form

While I don't think ANB did a whole lot wrong, it wouldn't surprise me if he made way. Doesn't seem to be all that damaging to me. Not saying I desperately want to see him dropped but he'd be a name I'd throw up as a possibility. 

Vince I agree with a few others, he's not doing a lot for me. His kicking is letting him down (is his toe still giving him problems?) and appears to be a bit fumbly at the moment. Again I wouldn't say I'm desperate for him to be dropped and he's still one of our best taggers so perhaps give him a role on a WC mid next week. Otherwise I'd be thinking about bringing Trenners in for him.

Can anyone tell me how Spencer went this week? Did he put his hand up for selection? 

I feel in the wide expanses of Subiaco a ruckman is quite important, there are question marks over bringing Gawn straight in for a trip to Perth and a 6 day break. 

If someone gets dropped this week they are very unlucky and should be given a pat on the back.

Goodwin doesn't think so as he's said Gawn will play next weekend.

I agree with the last line as well - whoever makes way is going to be very, very unlucky.  I'm glad it's not my job to make that decision.

Gawn comes in...but no necessity to play all game in ruck. He can play some time rotating through the tapwork with stints up front.

Stretch is more a top up in the middle than JKH at this level.

They're my thoughts.

Oh wow. Jones out is absolutely massive.

Head says Stretch in for him as we need the engine on Subi.

Heart says Trenners.

Trengove is done! 

Lets place some serious footy nous here! No room for sentiment when  place in the 8 is now a real posibility!

Melksham actually played ok up forward today. 

Taking Maxy across on a plane for a 3hr flight and back on a bigger ground makes me nervous. Id be happy to keep him for the swans game, but I guess if he is ready then I trust the medical and coaching staff. 

I hope JOnsey and Watts are ok.

Thought he was faultless today-he did his time at Casey last year-why should he step aside.He's ready.

Interesting; I am a fan but thought he had some really poor moments today.  inaccurate kicking on goal, poor disposal and decision making for the first three quarters.  Did some good things in the last.

Assuming no injuries perhaps Vince goes out, has points in the bank but on form over this season he should surely be out before bugg, anb or any others

Maybe Vince will be out with "soreness".

Melksham or ANB for mine. I'd also like to know when Joel Smith is returning. Seems forgotten...

Joel will surely need a few weeks at Casey - no way he will be rushed in, and for whom, where?

Jones and watts will both play, just taking no risks 

If there is any hint of a hammy tear, and he'll be scanned, he won't play for 3 weeks. Sounds harsh, but is non-negotiable these days, and for reasons of reducing recurrence and chronic behaviour. Jones quad another story. If it settles and he gets through training, he'll play.

I didn't hear that, that's fantastic news! I think the selection committee is going to need a lot of Panadol to sort out the headaches at selection!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
