    Don't all start screaming but I would give Max a rest and avoid the flight.

    Pedo could come in and he and Bull could do the ruckwork.

    They are also both capable of a goal while forward.

    Max has done a ton of work and it is a long season.

    I would also try and get Jeff in for this one as it should suit him perfectly. Maybe Bernie could have a rest for a week.

    Can someone tell me why the player dropped from last week would be made cary-over emergency this week?

    Tyson was obviously dropped for performance reasons, yet he isn't given the opportunity to work on those areas the following week in the reserves.  And to add insult to injury, they (Casey) were playing an insipid team which would be the perfect chance for Tyson to work on his game.

    I rarely criticise the coaching/selection/etc, but this decision is just plain poor.

    Maybe Tyson was rested, ahead of this coming week?

    Agree this would be the perfect game to rest Gawn. If it is going to be slippery then Pedo would be the ideal replacement

    It was slippery today, and Gawn was close to best on. 

    Byes are for resting. Preseason is for creating monsters like Gawn. 

    Sam Jacobs would slaughter the cannon fodder thrown at him, why would you want to give Adelaide a head start?

    People we are playing in Alice Springs during the day not Darwin at night.

    Mid to low 20's for most of the week. Sunday is 27 degrees with 25% humidity. It won't be slippery. It should be pretty similar conditions to the Brisbane game last week. Very similar conditions to what the players were playing and training in every day only a couple of months ago.

    There's really no reason to pick different players based on the conditions.

    Are Alice, fair enough.

    PS:   We'll need more runners for that heat. more smalls?

    That’s a crap idea. Max is the fittest he’s been for yonks and is dominating every game against all opponents. He’s loving it and he’s hungry to smash in every week. He’s getting enough chop-outs now.

    The bye is in a few weeks time and he’ll get his rest then.

    No, no PS!

    Our midfield are all runners - of course. Our backline has runners and I'd expect Vince to be replaced by Hunt. Our forwards - well the 2 big guys in T Mc and Hoges are very good runners! As is ANB. Spargo, Melksham, Bull, Hannan, they are all in the side to chase and pressure and run!

    If there's selection changes it's surely based on form not conditions.

    I don't share that view as a concrete rule.

    In adverse conditions i'd pick for those conditions.

     

     I did think it was in Darwin this week.

    But the Alice will be hot, so we need to protect for this game, and the match following.

    I know Buggy isn’t Mr Popular but it’s a bit grim when he’s the one that kicks 5 goals to go along with 21 disposals and 9 tackles and he doesn’t rate a mention..

    Maybe he will get a gig in the next couple of weeks...  we only have a short break on the return game from Darwin vs the Doggies.

    Only an opinion but maybe it had something to do with Oliver’s broken finger suffered last week and surgery on Monday. 

    If there was a chance Oliver couldn’t come up Tyson would be the most logical replacement.

    finally a post which makes sense.

    That is why Pedo should come in. Another mature big body. It is not always about recent form but matching up on the opposition.

    you do realise the bye is not far off

    besides, the slightly warmer weather at the alice should be a tonic for him

    if he is tiring and we are doing well we can park him in the square

    Jacobs has done a ton of work too

    We should break even on the fatigue bit and win on gawns superior rucking over pedo

    Some Adelaide fans are saying Jacobs should be rested because Gawn will smash any ruckman they throw out there anyway.  Quite a surprisingly sensible lot compared to the Carlton fans from last week.  No way I'd rest Max, he's a huge part of why we are winning at the moment.  Apart from Steph Martin, who almost broke even, he has flogged every ruckman he has come up against.  Let him wait for the bye for a rest.

    As much as I love Hunt and Garlett I can't see them taking anyone's spot after the Carlton match.

    No way Bernie gets rubbed out either, there's no charge for a fair bump.  His shoulder was at head level but there was no contact with the head.  It was all in the hip.  More good luck than good management though I reckon. 

    Gee I enjoy a good shirtfront., or watching a good shirtfront I should say.  Kudos to Thomas for getting straight up and getting involved in the contest again.  It would have hurt.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
