Changes v The Blues


WERRIDEE

Recommended Posts

Weideman will not be dropped. End of story. Once we are all past that for this week we can start talking about who will really make way for Viney. 

ANB and Harmes in particular almost excluded themselves from the conversation with their efforts tonight. It almost has to be Tyson doesn’t it? I’m a Tyson fan but who else do you drop that plays a similar role? Hate to be a selector this week.

After watching Goody's presser I think the Weid stays but Vince is in trouble, I would like to see Tyson stay I like him as a footballer.

I think so as well Werridee

Weed won't be dropped. Played a handy role in some early goals and was decent in the ruck. I think the coaches are happy to give him some time so that he can find his feet in the side, similar to Oscar McDonald over the last year or two. Plus he can allow Hogan and McDonald to roam up the ground when required. 

The answer is:

IN: Viney

OUT: Tyson

Well, someone has to make way for the skipper. I've always liked Tyson, but its becoming harder and harder to defend him after a mixed performance. His disposal has continuously let him down and he isn't hitting the scoreboard as often as he once did. Both ANB and Harmes, whose spots were probably under the most pressure to keep their spots played their best games of the year and deserve another week.

Whoever gets dropped next week will be unlucky.

Let's wait and see how the Casey game unfolds tomorrow. 5 goals or more to Garlett could pose a fascinating conundrum.

The problem with garlett isn't so much his goal kicking ability. It's his ability to apply pressure when things aren't going our way. I am not sure dumping a Spargo or ANB for Garlett after the past few weeks is a good decision. Jeffy needs to bring the non negotioables for a few weeks to be considered imo. ANB is struggling but he still competes and brings pressure. Unless Garlett is running in a straight line, he's ineffective.

We need to start thinking outside the box

the Rules of The Game Committee has already come up with numerous interesting changes to the game and it’s time they considered 19 players on the field to make the spectacle better

I just had a look at the highlights and Harmes sling tackle doesn't look great he may get a week.

What do other people think?

That was a great tackle.   The kind of great perfect tackle the AFL love to punish.

He didn't hurt him so that is in his favour but the AFL are trying to stamp that tackle out.

I said it early in the week that this is the best side we have had since '98.

We are currently 5th and I truly believe we can go all the way with this side.

Hannan saved himself in the last quarter I thought he done nothing for 3 quarters.

IN: VINEY OUT: WEIDEMAN

You are slightly hopped up on goof balls. We haven’t done anything to suggest we can go all the way. We do have the best side we’ve had in a while though.

There's another option - give Viney another week. Why not? I'd rather err on the super cautious side.

Yep, this is a point most wouldnt have considered. Heaven forbid he may even have a poor game tomorrow. At least wait to see how Viney plays before demanding he be promoted. ( Although i personally cant wait to see him in the seniors again )

Hard to change a winning team and all that...........

That's true we haven't done anything yet. Call me crazy but I can just see it. When I see the rest of the sides I think we can beat them all especially with Tommy and Viney back in the side.

Tracc hasnt looked that good since the dog incident. I'd drop him for Viney. Hopefully Jeffy does what he has to do and can come back in for either Spargo or Hannan.

Jeffy will have to kick 10 to get in. Viney will be the only change.

Easy this week. 

Out: Tyson

In: Viney

I believe that if Viney gets through this game unscathed and his foot stands up then he will compliment Tyson's game. Wasn't at his best  today but his last 2 weeks have been  very good . With Viney back, he gives leadership and strengthens our midfield.

I think its time for Weide to go back and practice what he's learnt.

Viney in.

I don"t know who the player was but his head  never hit the ground got up immediately and played on. His tackle seemed ok IMO.

No we play the blues this week, but the Crows the following game.

Viney needs an AFL hit-out, prior to the big game against the crows.

Viney needs the game at Casey tomorrow, then come in against the Blues.

 

Then he should be better prepared for the Crows the following game.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
