I'm not worried whatsoever who comes in or out, We've proven we've got the depth to cover huge losses, personnel wise. I'd be more worried about getting ahead of ourselves. All this talk about finals is just rubbish, we've done nothing yet. We need to bring the right attitude to every game and West Coast is no different. No need to worry about anything else other than who's available for Sat night whoever plays must play their role knowing if they don't they'll get dropped cos there's another 5-6 blokes desperate for a game.

Watts and Jones won't play it would be stupid to risk them but Goodwin would wanna make sure no complacency in the group cos sure as hell if you're 2% off in this league you lose. One week at a time!

Pedo plays all season if he's fit cos he brings the right attitude.

Shuffling deck chairs on The Titanic

No, we have good depth now.

Shuffling deckchairs is a  thing of the past for the MFC thank christ.

Bring back Mat Jones and Mckenzie.

I'd bring in Wagner for Jones with Wagner to half back and Salem to play more midfield minutes.

And someone else out for Gawn, hopefully not Watts.

They would look like millionaires with the current frenetic pressure. Cale Mortan and Jordan Gysberts on the other hand...

Without Jones I'd give Petracca and Salem more time in midfield, both have shown they can add a lot to the onball group when given the opportunity.

Possibly a sign of things to come re Chunk. He's getting older. He'll get niggles, miss a few here and there.

Out: watts jones

in: gawn stretch 

Goodwin said he wanted to reward all the players in a win last week can't see him dropping someone this week 

If they are the only two forced outs I totally agree.

We need 22 fit players. I would rest all players with niggles.

Out: Jones, Watts, Hibberd and Bugg. 

In: Gawn, Stretch, Wagner and JKH/Maynard.

Gawn to be managed 1st game back in the ruck/forward role. Wagner a direct swap for Hibberd.

Hopefully everyone else is good to go, concerns over Jetta?

I feel like this game could be real danger game I'm loving our depth but without our two best key forwards our best mid and our best ruck. We are going to need another team effort with players like bugg , harms and Neil-bullen all contributing.

Why on earth drop Bugg ?

JKH is a lock given how he's played over the past few weeks at Casey. He will replace Nathan Jones (rested/groin whatever)

Max Gawn's selection has already been announced. Dees will play it safe with Jack Watts (rested/hammy whatever)

Billy Stretch and Josh Wagner are chances as well for two others to be rested or whatever.

He trained in a private session and was worked hard. They'll see how he pulls up

We aren't looking at needing a small forward as far as i can tell. JKH whilst playing well in the magoos is no fill in mid at the top level, he just isnt. Stretch is. Hes no Jones but can equit himself ok as a mid.

Posted

Possibly no Hogan, Jones, Watts, Hibberd + Gawnys first game back after a very long layoff.

A lot of sore boys and a long trip to WA.  A win this week would top even yesterdays win.  Time to dig deep again.

Jones and Watts will both play is my prediction. Jones looked like a corky in the collision with Lin Jong and Watts had a little hammy tightness - said he was fine.

Gawn to replace ANB and Stretch to replace Harmes who looked shot. And certainly Stretch if Hunt doesn't come up.

    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
