Changes vs Hawthorn R4

Not sure about frost down back. Did some good things in the 2nd quarter but poor positional sense - why he left Waite on his own in the first quarter for that goal no one knows. Also a few clangers. 

Do we need three talls plus Wagner and hibbo against the hawks? They play pretty small. 

Like I said it would be harsh as he took a couple of nice marks and gave us some rebound for a while. 

If hunt somehow gets his mojo back today I’d bring him for frost

    Barring injuries - The sensible change is no change ! If it's not broken don't fix it because change for changes sake is absurd !

    Melksham, ANB and Harmes at risk if anyone performs in VFL

    BAKER, WEIDEMAN, HANNAN

    Melksham comes in for Vince if injured. Jetta and Frost will get off the tribunal.

    Slightly of topic, do Hawthorn who have 1902 on the back of the shirts now really date back that far?

  • Quote

    Go close to an unchanged team, unless team structure needs to change against the Hawks.

    ANB and Melksham both on shaky ground, but would give both another game.

    Wagner, Bugg, Kent & Frost all played pretty well so deserve to stay in.

    Good to see pressure from Balic,, Weideman, Brayshaw and Pedersen from commentary on the Casey game!

    Hope he becomes a champion, but with just 11 disposals yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fritsch gets a rest.

    They came into VFL 1924 or '25. Percy Cerutty got them running up sand hills in 1960 and the rest is history.

    30+ years without making finals wasnt it? Football Gods repaid them eventually.

    I have a feeling that both Jetta (bump on Brown) and Frost (sling tackle on Anderson) will be suspended.

    Shouldn't we have heard about that by now?  They had given their verdict on Sidebottom less than 24 hours after the game, so do we expect the same or do they go through it on Monday?

    Jetta walking a bit gingerly when I saw him at Coburg today so may not be available anyway. But ai thought his bump yesterday was OK but unfortunately he made contact with Brown’s head that he was lowering into the contest. Not sure what Nev was supposed to do but that doesn’t register with the MRP.

    We are slow. Hawks have some speedy smalls. Gawn needs some ruck relief and we need a tall up forward if Hogan is up the ground. If we bring in speed and Pederson who goes out? Wagner - no match up? One of our one paced mids?

  • Quote

    We looked too small up fwd. on Sat.

    Going by form in the VFL today.

    Pedo or  Weideman should  get a run.

    Harmes would have to make way.

    Melksham may go and Hannan may be the replacement.

    I would love to see Brayshaw in, but I can't see 3  changes.      2  is bad enough

    More than a few sling tackles this round, if the medical comes back clean it should only be a fine. Certainly didn't look like a big nasty tackle.

    Can't recall the Jetta incident but I can't remember a big bump.

    all games are meant to be assessed within 24 hours, so we should be all okay on a suspension or fines state of affairs

    jetta looked super sore in the closing 10 minutes or so of the north game, and we absolutely will need him up and going; he's had a slow start to the year, much as have all our defenders bar o mac, but we need him up and going for the rest of the season - i suppose will it make a difference if he rests for a week in the long-term, or will he simply be managed with that knee soreness for the rest of the year?

    we don't have anyone else quite like lord nev to come in and play his role; he's such a vital part of our defensive structure

    I don't like him because of his football.  He's VFA quality.

    Casey played a VFA side today and there are a few ejaculating about their inclusions off the back of that !

    Stuie-watch (for those who have been baited into thoroughly abusing him and thus banned from his fb page):

    In: Pedo

    Fact.

    At Casey last year Fritsch averaged 12 disposals and two goals per game.  He's not going to do better than that in his first year of AFL.

    He was robbed of his 12th disposal and second goal by an infuriating umpire decision.

    He's playing his role and I'll be surprised if he doesn't close to every game depending on soreness.

    Bugg kicks 4 and you want to drop him? You need to take out that “pro” part of your name.

    Sidebottom got a fine for his sling tackle, I assume Frost will get the same (if he has been cited).

    • 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 final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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?
