Garlett was good in VFL so he has at least put his hand up.

Spargo cannot be dropped on today's form though.

 

I agree with above:

Viney and Hannan in.

Tyson and Kent out. 

Simples (chipmunk squeak)

    Hannan and Viney in,hope we don't get anymore injuries though cupboard is starting to get a bit bare. Don't want our finals campaign to be derailed.

    Spargo will benefit the most from a week off, so he stays in.

    JKH made a few critical errors and it was painfully obvious most players were looking for options other than him, even when he was the open player. Other than that he was ok.

    For me it's Tyson and Kent out for:

    Viney and Hannan.

    Would also look at JKH for Garlett but JKH applies way more pressure and covers the ground. Garlett, on song, kicks goals. Tough one. 

    Do not want Bugg

    Watch the highlights and look how many goals Spargo was directly involved in ... he is a silent assassin.  So many important touches.

    With two weeks to freshen up he will play vs the Cats....  not bad playing your first final at 18 years of age!

    Spargo was far from great today

    Crumbed well, distributed well and set up a few goals. Will be playing finals on today’s effort, take it to the bank!

    It looks as if there will be two compulsory changes.

    I wouldn't be so sure. 2 weeks is a long time in footy, especially come finals.

    The AFL clearly giving the viewers what they want for Friday night footy.

    Just you wait. Fast forward 12 years and we'll have won 5 premierships and it'll be the first non-finals year of his career. He'll be the reverse Jones.

    There's a job to do for sure.

    I suspect one of Tyson and Kent will get up. So for mine would be:

    Viney for JKH

    Joel Smith for either Tyson/Kent, then move Fritsch up the ground (wing or forward).

    If Garlett plays another decent game, selection could get tricky, especially as the logical out if he comes in would be Spargo - which would be a bit stiff.

    Going to throw a curve, what if Hunt passes his test and plays in VFL unscathed on Saturday? Would you put him on the short list of ins? Geelong aren't known for being a quick team and his pace could be handy against that mob.

    Could possibly be:

    Ins: Hannan, Viney, Hunt

    Out: Kent, Tyson, JKH.

    Didn't mind JKH today, but I do like hunts pace. The cat's have been a tough assignment for us, I think we need to load up with whatever weapons we have.

    What a great run from vanders to be entrenched in that side. Amazing.

    If Tyson is done then Viney and Hannan.

    JKH survives as he is serviceable and is more use than Bugg. 

    vandenFyfe is showing why I fell in love with him from that first NAB Challenge game.

    Having said that, I really doubted his body would hold up like he has but so good to see him back in the team as a vital contributor.

    He is also a big effing unit and uses the whole apartment.

    I think Spargo is underrated a little round these parts.  He had a hand in a number of goals today with his crumbing work.  As others have stated, with Kent and Tyson both going out, there is no chance that Spargo doesn't play.  

    Spargo really showed his worth for mine today especially in the second half. I know he’s probably feeling it but he’d be pretty stiff to get droppped based on today.

    Humility and Hawkins are not even close. 

    Frost should get the matchup this time.

    • 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.
