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.

  • Quote

    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 ?

    Someone mentioned that he was sore. Otherwise he is a best 22 for mine

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
