Crumbs!  Is that all??  How are we expected to win with only three players??

Two Vagg. It’s just Tyson’s luck to be the held over emergency.

    Confirmed: Watts not playing.

    Seeing Jack W in the jail cell stripes means I can finally say goodbye to what might have been.

    I have now officially moved on !!!

    Dom Tyson, Tim Smith and Charlie Spargo were on the flight to Adelaide today.

    Was hoping Jeffy was there instead of Spargo.

    So from who is on the plane .. we can confirm the one change ...

    Smith in

    Pedersen: Out

    cannot question that change. Smith offers more at ground level and seems to gel unlike Pedersen with the other two big forwards.

    Big game needed from Hogan amongst others.

    Strangely ambivalent to this game ... the QB game pricked my balloon of optimism well and truly.

    Go Dees

    Just reading that the Netball comp now awards bonus points for quarters won in an effort to maintain spectator interest.

    With our record this year perhaps MFC should get into Gil's ear ?

    Correct Diamond, never made it that far. As you know, I spent time in Italy, Spain, Cuba , France as well as Idaho and other American states, but never Russia.  They obviously know nothing about Hemingway so it’s just a gimmick to get in the gullible tourists, particularly my fellow countrymen who as you know are not all that discerning regarding food choices or literary interests. Probably a hamburger joint.  So should be avoided at all costs.  One thing I did do when traveling was eat the local village food usually camouflaged in casseroles and stews. Enjoy your travels and have a drink for poor old crumbly Hem.

    Fair changes this week.  I reckon they will play Harmes predominantly at half forward with Tyson going in to the midfield rotation.  I know some wanted Jeffy in the side but I don't think his form at Casey has warranted a recall.

    Hannan & Pedders easily fought it out for W.O.G. last week IMO.  Spargo not great either but substantially better than Hannan and a tad unlucky.

    Smith a big improvement on Pedders IF he can stay on the park and he can manage to bring much of the form he showed against the Crows.

    Weid/Smith for Pedo was always going to happen.  Pedo just doesn't gel with Hogan and it messed with our structure. 

    Tyson has been playing well with the main issue being how to get him in the mix without upsetting balance.  This may allow us to play Viney as a stopper instead of Brayshaw and get our inside mid mix right again. 

     

    I'm ready disapointed with Garlett. He is a better player than Casey but he just hasn't clicked this year. I don't think others have gone past him, more that he hasn't brought it. Can he find it again?

     

    Other than Lever, this is our best 22 right now.  Form might push Garlett or Spargo in, but we must be pretty happy with what we've got on the park.

     The more I reflect the more I think this game depends on the ruck and clearance battle. Collingwood worked us out there last week and that cost us the game. Can we reinstate our dominance in that area? Did we learn a plan B for when Gawn is getting beaten?

  • Quote

    Not enough changes for mine Petty should be in we are too small down back.

    Pedo had to be dropped he was hopeless against the pies, I don't think he will get a game again.

    Good to see Tyson and Tim.Smith back.

    Spargo out is interesting because we haven't replaced him, we have no crumbing forward.

    • 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.
