Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 1

Featured Replies

Another match lost at selection. Wagner ahead of Tyson or Brayshaw is mind numbingly stupid stuff. Did the selection panel not learn anything from repeated mistakes last year?

If Viney was in, it would have been the other way round.  Big crash and bash boy.

Does Maynard do much of that though? Or do we just expect him to because of his size? I haven’t seen him play all that much.

I think Maynard will tag Selwood but Wagner ahead of Tyson is unbelievable.

 

Final teams announced and Tyson and Brayshaw are NOT playing - can anyone enlighten us why? Are they injured?

Seems a strange decision for such a big game!
 

Wagner gives us another back, which is good for team balance as it could free up Jones or Hunt to move onto wing, Salem into middle, etc...

Maybe Maynards in to do some bodywork on the tag the Cats will try to put on Oliver or Petracca..?

So Josh Wagner is the difference between winning and losing?  Have some faith my friend.  Let's allow the game to play out before we curse and moan about a choice at selection.

I hope so, seeing Vince, Jones and Lewis are all selected.   Bernie as tagged, perhaps?  Lewis and Jones rotating off back pocket?  Will then need Maynard to get the pill.  Lets see how it plays out!

 

Surely one of them will come in...   we are lacking midfield depth looking at that team.

Wagner over Tyson? Absolutely ridiculous. I was hoping Goodwin would stop playing games at the selection table after he cost us big time in the last month of last season.

Brayshaw being left out is clearly to do with his emergency tooth situation during the week. There's no doubt it would have put him out from a preparation pov.

If they are fit, which we must assume they are as they are emergencies, I am staggered by this decision and not so confident of a win now!

Can only suggest that Brayshaw might not be 100% after the wisdom teeth and they might like another week of training with Tyson after that minor injury hold up. Although I think there's a chance one will come in if it is looking being wet Sunday arvo.

Shout-out to the "Dom Tyson is best 22 lock" lovers.

They’ll all be proven right come this weekend. It appears the selection panel haven’t learnt from their repeated proven mistakes made last year. Frustrating to not put our best team out on the park and give ourselves the best chance of winning.

We will [censored] this side.. They got stuff all other than duckwood and Ablett.

10 goal win...

Don't stress my fellow demons. The coaches know who's 100%


Being discussed in team selection thread. Wagner ahead of them is a mistake. Multiple time top 5 bnf midfielder is clearly a better selection than a rookie listed half back flank battler who should be delisted come years end. So frustrating!

We'll see.

Please don't blame a loss on the fact that Dom was left out though.

 

Thought Tyson and Brayshaw showed far more in the preseason than Wagner or Maynard.

Wagner’s decision making skills are poor and I didn’t think Maynard got enough of the ball for someone trying to break into the side. Maybe a tagging role??

Tyson is a jet in the wet. If it rains Sunday he has to be a late inclusion.

Wags must certainly be impressing someone down there. 

Not in my best 25 or a particularly powerful fast or skilful defender. I will trust the club that see him every day, more than l trust myself. 

We'll soon all be able to assess his on field performance. I really really hope he has a strong game, as do the other 21 players. 

As for Dom and Gus, what would any supporter know? 

I feel somewhat misled on both Jack and Tom by the club's public statements prior to this week. 

"Cloak and dagger"  has never been a strength of our player management and it appears not much has changed in 2018.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
