Awesome INs this week.

They all have pace to burn...

I still think there is a spot for Bernie though!

    Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s.

    Better Ins this week. Let's see how the balance looks with more pace and smalls in the team to provide pressure.

    Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

    Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

    Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

    Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

    I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

    Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

    God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

    Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?

    Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

    Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

    Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

    He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

    I see a common theme in the inclusions...

    Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

    Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

    I don't mind this team...as such

    From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game.

    Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

    Great job Goody. 

    Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

    Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

    Frost in was a must.

    Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

    Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

    Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

    Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

    Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

    Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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.
