Changes v Weagles


Elwood 3184

Recommended Posts

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.

What does it matter, anyway?

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.

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.

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.

Channel 7 saying Jones will miss at least 2 weeks with a quad and showed Hibberd badly limping at recovery today. 

Watts sore.

West Coast Bigfooty page saying Kennedy again did not train today. Still hasn't done training since the injury. I'd be surprised if he played

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
