Rest: Hogan

In: Weid or Bull, both been good at VFL level, don’t think Pedo has he’s been playing as a defender the last 4 weeks

Id want Keilty to play too but it ain’t gonna happen

hogan definitely needs a rest. and maybe petracca too, but less so?.. fingers crossed trac's shoulder is ok. next cabs off the rank should be tim smith to play petracca's role and i'd be happy with either sammy or pedo to replace hoges. i am pretty sure pedo won't have forgotten how to clunk those forward 50 marks ? 

 

Likely no change

I like to seee the team settled but agree perhaps Hogan rested and may put JKH back to Casey.  

Vanders might need at least another week at Casey to build up fitness so JKH may still in. 

 

We need to manage a few if we're to have a decent crack at September.

Rest Hogan....or he's cooked. A no brainer really. 

Personally I'd like to see Pedo in for Smith. Can at least understands the game.  Now is not about games into NOOBS...it's about assembling a finals team. Let's not cut off nose as they say.

I still think JKH is not up to it..

Some might suggest no change but I think it's imperative to give some a rest and tweak what is an imperfect line up.

If we're to do this...well... let's get serious mum ;)

He'll be fine

Which player doesn't have a niggle or two this time of the year?

He gets (several) best defenders jump all over him, week in and week out and our current style of play relies on a big forward

Ice and Vaporub all week for Jesse, methinks.....

That'll fix his marking ?? ?

Petracca shoulder?

I think he just copped a stinger.. played out the game pretty well afterwards. 

I would like to see Kent come in. I had JKH’s pampers stamped at half time but he impressed me in the second half. Likely no change tbh.

Jesse has never had much spring but he can't get off the ground at all right now. I'm with the rest brigade. Tmac and Pedo should be able to get it done.

T Smith for Hogan (Managed)?

No point risking Hibbs for GC even if ready.  Save for the big one agaisnt Swans

No Fritsch is a gun and his kicking alone is needed. Hunt hasn't played any football.

Absolutely W .

Fritsch was our only small medium forward standing up in first half. Mandatory he stays in. 

i'd drop hogan. i wouldn't even call it a rest. hogan was a disgrace last night and squibbed about 3 contests, well before any 'injury'.

No change unless someone is sore, no VFL Hurts anyone pushing for a spot and everyone played their role last night so should be a simple week for selectors

Clearly not right is he. Didnt look like himself at all. He draws an extra defender which is why they left hm on the ground I think but, like many here, I think we need to rest him. We need a fit JH in the last couple of games.We also have Smith and Weid and Pedo that can all play his role better than he played it ( in the state he was in) last night.

100% correct except no Weid please we want to win

Need Hogan fit and not sore if we are to do anything in September,   I still have not counted any chickens.

JKH  was in my mind poor for the first half but improved for some important touches and moves in the second. Almost a confidence thing.   If the selectors thought enough of him to put him in, there will be no change. His second half gets him a bit more time.

So my only change   rest Hogan  bring in Pedo  to keep the structure the same.  Cam can at least do much the same as Hogan, and Jesse gets a rest and recovery period.     But I though we were toast 15 minutes first quarter   What Do I Know.

GO DEES!!!

He copped a knock on his hip (knee in a marking contest) against Geelong.  The commentators mentioned it at the time and said if he could keep moving it should be fine, but he'd feel it during the week.  You could see it being worked on during the game and he was clearly inconvenienced by it and then he copped another knock to the knee.   

I don't think it's a given he needs a rest as it might come good during the week.

Surprised on the calls to drop JKH, that was just about the best game I’ve seen him play from memory.

Only change (non injury enforced, ie Hoges) would be Smith. Killed us regularly. I wonder if it’s worth it with Hibbo only a few weeks away though given his replacement (Wagner) would only be a temp.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
