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.

    It's a good day when there's no clear-cut out for Viney!

    But yeah, it probably has to be Tyson or maybe a rest for Spargo?

    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.

    I would say Tyson for Viney but Vince could be rested.

    I’d love to see Garlett back for Carlton but there’s no chance in hell of that happening

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
