That would make far more sense.

Would be happier to drop Tyson, Play Fritta on a wing and use Smith up back!

Not a defender at all Winger or smart HFF For mine!!

I remember Smith last year against Saints before he did his shoulder and playing pretty well on Rooey! 

Gets my nod!

Tyson very fortunate!

To be honest I think I would prefer Fritsch to Hannan up forward. To me he offers far more.

 

I feel for Bailey if he has been dropped, but Smith gives us the best chance in defence of negating WC's talls. If we win the midfield battle, they won't be getting any easy ball in there and winning one on ones may be important

I think other than the Petty selection, the FD IMO has done pretty well and we are in a Prelim after all.

Frost not playing for so long might be the other one.

Hannan is a much more dangerous player and harder at it.

Think Goodwin said today that if Melbourne win on Saturday a number of players will be pulled from the Casey game on Sunday for back up should anything go wrong during the week. 

Why on earth would you do that? The whole (uninjured) team will be available, albeit with a 6-day break, further, all will have a VFL Premiership under their belt! Stupidest idea I have ever heard! I want to see two Demon Premierships in 2018! ?

Channel 7 just confirmed Fritta got dropped for J.Smith

 

Official Smith for Fritsch:  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-09-20/preliminary-final-team

The emergencies Jay Kennedy Harris, Jayden Hunt, Fritsch and Tim Smith two of whom will go to Perth

Bad luck Bayley....   maybe back in for the Grand Final.

Sheppard out for the Eagles.

Heartbreak for the kid, but Joel is a better defender and a good intercept mark.

We need our best possible defensive set up to combat the likes of Kennedy,Darling, Rioli, Ryan and LeCras.

We've lost one of our best kicks.

In a game that will be hot on a fast track, who would you prefer kicking the ball into the forward line, Fritsch or Tyson?

Tyson isn't as bad as people make it seem. Like i said Fritsch was guilty of blazing away and not picking out a target.

Can only feel for Fritz, has had an amazing year.

Hopefully Joel steps up to the plate!

The kid will spew but I suspect it's a decision based on aerial defensive skills.

 

Well. I feel a bit better knowing we have now given ourselves a plan B incase darling or JK gets off the leash. 

 

truth be told...how nice it is to be in the position to have to make heartbreaking decisions...


Well I gotta say Tim Smith AS EMERGENCY IS EVEN A BIGGER SURPRISE!!

Jeffy? Pedo?? Bigger call!?

Well there is no room for sentiment. Feel for Fritta but cest la vie...

feeling confident our pressure will pump them. All the pressure is on them really...

Very tough on Fritta, he’s had an excellent year and has done very little wrong. 

Big call from the selection committee but I’ll back Smith in.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
