JKH laid 8 tackles and had 4 score involvements. He would have done what the coach had required of him to earn his spot for another week. 

Depending on how Casey goes, might be Hannan for Tyson. 

9 tackles I think.  

No way he gets dropped 

 

No change.

Though I still dont like Vince and Lewis in the same team.

Weideman for Hannan. Apart from anything else, lets us leave Tom McD up forward the whole match as Weideman would cover  for Gawn.

Tyson for Viney seems obvious, perhaps they wanted more pace against the Dogs, but do we need more grunt against Geelong?


Tyson for Hannan will be about it!

Given the dimensions of Geelong’s ground, longish and skinny, maybe it is more grunt in the middle that is needed, rather than leg speed, so maybe it’s Tyson and he played well today.

I think you can have both as long as they keep the rest of the pace in the team.

I don’t agree with needing more grunt.  Geelong are an average clearance team and we have inside mids to punish them, keep the pace in.  Hannan stays, no change. 


This game will be won or lost by our defence, if we leak goals it's game over. Menzel always gets hold of us. I think any changes now will be experienced players only.

Especially after Goodwin bear hugged him after the game.

The bear hug is the kiss of death, just ask Jack Trengove! It implies you've worked so hard to get on the team and earn the hug and next weeks selection, so that when you fail the next time, it will end up being the last.

Viney didn't play so are you saying Tyson instead of Weideman to replace Hannan? Otherwise who do we drop in addition to Hannan?

At any rate, I'm not sure about playing Weideman. The forward line balance feels much better since we went smaller and given we're prone to running TMac up on the wing at times anyway, we may as well make that stint a ruck stint and keep some pace in the side.

Menzel is a lurker who preys on mistakes, minimise them and it limits his influence

I watched a bit of the Cats-Crows game. I'd be shocked if Menzel got a game after that effort. It was pathetic.

 

Smith in please.

I need some mid cover in my supercoach team. Dropping like flies.

I thought it was Jetta (39) he bear hugged

Hannan has been a real disappointment this year. Hasn’t progress at all. 

I get that hes probably not having the same impact as last year, but hes played 11 games this year and has kicked 16.14.. thats already 30 scoring shots at goal..  but to say hes not progressed at all is a bit of a stretch...

Personally i think he's developing just fine.

Hannan probably the only one in the mix to be dropped for mine, everyone else was serviceable enough at the very least. 

Maybe Balic could get a run. 

I'd rather Vanders but he needs another week or two at Casey (or at least a game in normal conditions to see where he is actually at).

Please no Dom Tyson. Please. 

No Change in my opinion

Hannan is going ok. He needs to clean up his kicking for goal. No poroblems with his endeavour.

He gets plenty of opportunity to score  butneeds to improve accuracy. He will kick a small bag soon.

No Tyson please!

Someone said to me, that JKH, like players who are given a chance, often play with the fear that a mistake could see them dumped. This clearly would restrict their natural instinct and ability to play well. On that basis, without any better player being available, he gets another game. 

Fritsch spent most if not all of the last quarter on the half back line and played very well there. That might be a hint that Vince is in trouble and that the match committee believe they've got a replacement for Fritsch on the wing. Of course, as someone mentioned earlier, that might just have been to cover Jetta who I hadn't realised spent a lot of time on the bench in the last quarter.

Anyway, I think Vince and Hannan would be the only two players who might be replaced although I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no change.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
