Hogan gets another chance and petracca would want to lift

Hunts out injured and as for Garlett, there's a position there for him if he pulls the finger out at Casey tomorrow. Same for Weideman...

Hunt is out injured for 4-6 weeks. Agree Garlett needs to come in. Our forward line is a shambles and needs a spark. He can provide that spark and is a genuine goal scoring option.

Petty and Baker must come in we are too slow and small down back. Garlett must also come in.

Forget about the 3 tall forwards and drop Tim.Smith, drop Joel as well and drop Petracca he's been disgraceful. Hogan hasn't been much better the last 2 weeks he must lift.

 

IN: Petty, Baker and Garlett

OUT: Tim.Smith, Joel.Smith and Petracca

Doesn’t matter who plays well at Casey tomorrow. Garlett can kick 10 and the usual suspects will bob up to say it was against an amateur side in Coburg. 

Love it when people suggest Garlett doesn’t do enough in the VFL but we bring guys straight back in without playing VFL.

I would like to see Garlett back in the mix. I feel we're throwing away an asset due to a stubborn insistence on performance at the secondary level - which is reasonable, but you also have to manage your particular players in terms of their specific strengths/traits/personalities, and Jeff has never had the mojo at lower levels. 

Kicked nearly 120 goals in the last few years - a good many from rewards for forward pressure - and that potential doesn't evaporate overnight after a couple week performances. Charlie - love him - won't be offering anything anywhere near that in the short-term. 

Injured/dropped (I can't recall - but I think an ankle) in 2016 and came back and kicked 4 the next time out. Dropped (this time pretty sure) later in the year and - after doing nothing at Casey - came back and kicked 4 on recall. 

Missed last year after West Coast (I think again as a wake-up - and did nothing in the reserves) and came back and kicked 3 against Carlton. Won the match for us this year v Brisbane with 4, backing up with 3 the following week, and two weeks later he is gone (when we got hammered in the middle by Hawthorn and Richmond). 

We simply can't afford to leave him in the wilderness based on some strict KPI's - one of the league's classiest finishers. Please, Goodwin and co. - be flexible in your approach and bring Garlett back in.

Next week probably isn’t the week to bring in another tall back like Petty, there isn’t an obvious match-up requirement. But I’d like to see him sooner rather than later in a game with two big opposition forwards.

I’d swap Tim Smith and Tyson for Weid and Garlett.

Weid in because, while I like Smith’s endeavour, he just doesn’t impact the game and was smashed by Dixon and Westhoff in the relief ruck role tonight. Garlett in for Tyson as we are already balls deep in inside mids but someone who can add some spark would be welcome. We were crying out for an opportunistic goal almost all night and Jeffy seems to have that ability. ANB hangs on despite the awareness and skills of my 16 month old son because he adds a little bit of value with his F50 tackling.

Out. Trac or Hogan 

sorry a message needs to be sent

Hogan probably stays on this years form. Love Trac but like Hunt needs some time to get himself right in the magoos

I think its nearly time for Garlett again,,, but also it could be Spargo who may come back in, after a week off ?

If not Spargo, maybe Baker to a wing ?

 

I wonder if Petracca needs a week, to rest his weariness off ?

I would not drop Tyson after just the one game...  and similarly, Joel smith. I like his size difference down back flank. And he needs all the in-game development he can gather.

 

We very nearly, (and should have) taken the points over in Adel' town.   And we had so many players just a bit off touch, because of intensity.

 

So thee is very little to do at the moment.  Except continue getting games together as a unit,,, while they deserve them.

FB: Hibberd  Oscar  Jetta
HB: Salem  Petty  Fritsch
C; Tyson  Oliver  Jones
HF: Spargo  Hogan   Melksham
FF: Petracca  Tommy Mc  Hannan
Foll: Gawn  Brayshaw  Viney
Int: J. Smith, Harmes,  T. Smith, ANB

Bye bye: Vince, Lewis
In: Petty, Spargo

Very open to dropping Harmes and Petracca but the forward/mid stocks are light on as it is and we have to redeploy Fritsch to half back to replace Lewis and bring in Spargo as is.

Petracca's fine. He had more disposals and more marks than his fellow forwards, ANB, Melksham and Hannan, and I don't see too many calling for their heads.

People should stop expecting him to be the second coming.

Im calling for ANB's head.

Does absolutely nothing in tightly contested matches, aside from running around creating packs.  Has great effort and tries hard and clearly loves playing for Melbourne which is great, but an incredibly limited and over-rated footballer, who the opposition would be putting no time into.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
