Drop Jones. 4 tackles and no defensive pressure for the year. Probably sulking about being put on a wing.

    To be fair why the [censored] is he on a wing? He is slow and a below average kick. 

    Why didn’t they move him to half back, especially with Lewis injured? God knows we need some leadership down there. 

    The wings for us seem a wasteland for shitty or past it players. Or players we don’t know what to do with. See Tyson circa 2018.

    It's time to have a serious look at players like Keilty, Baker, Petty and maybe even Preuss to see if and where they fit into future plans.

    I'm not saying "play all the kids" nor am I suggesting playing them all at once, it's just time to start tinkering because it's obvious a number of players on the list are not going to be part of our future.

    I'm very keen to see who plays well in the vfl this week.

    Out. Omac, anb, Tom mac. He doesn't look fit. His strength is his fitness n workrate. Without it, he is a average footballer.

    In. Petty, stretch, pruess.

    What's the point in naming ANB and Oscar as out. Goody absolutely loves these 2 spuds and will not in the world ever drop them.

    Makes me physically sick knowing they will play next week.

    ANB will be dropped

    He was fphhurken hopeless tonight

    The problem isn't so much the players we're putting on the park, but what they do when they get there. Hard to see them making many changes. Maybe time for Petty?

    On the smaller SCG, I’m tipping us to win next week comfortably. It won’t mean much in the long run, but it will be something at least.

    OUT: OMac, KK, ANB

    IN: Petty or Kielty, Stretch, myself

    IN: PETTY, KEILTY\T.SMITH (WHOEVER PLAYS BETTER), STRETCH

    OUT: FROST, OSCAR, ANB

     In -    Petty, Keilty, Stretch, Garlett, Preuss

    Out -   ANB, O.Mac, Frost, KK, J.Wagner

     

    TMac to the backline this week to play on Buddy.  And he might need to stay there until we get May and Lever back.

    it makes no difference. it's just re-arranging the deck chairs on the titanic. 

    our structure is stuffed. We need more numbers back somehow. I reckon I could kick a bag against us atm. 

    As soon as the other team gets the ball they just stroll through and score...

    The period in the 2nd Q where we looked ok coincided with Tommy Mac going off injured.

    I would persist with Weid, it worked for a short period.

    Drop Tommy or play him back until May & Lever come in.

    Maybe Pruess as the 2nd tall forward/chop out for Max.

    One more loss now, and we're toasted.  We won't get the confidence back in time to do anything.

    It really feels like the gods are against us.

     

    The AFL dioidn't want to change things too quickly via reducing rotations furhter so they go and do a 666... they could not have hurt us in particular, if they planned it.

    Might be time for the Dees to take a look at Declan Keilty as a key defender. Third-year rookie and making good progress at Casey Demons under Jade Rawlings. Named to play against Box Hill Hawks on Sunday....

    Weide isn't doing anything wrong its the supply which is killing him. he needs to know where to expect to run to.  he is being slaughtered by our mids going into f50.

     

    I heard on ch-7 tonight after game,  that TMc had an injection in the ankle ?   he was running flat, like he had no endurance or power in his run.  Maybe this is why they were using him from the goal-square... and not up high.

     

    ... all our strengths of last year, are now our weaknesses.

    This might be worth it in place of Oscar. while we wait for May to come in.  easing the running on TMc.

    Frost will be better with TMc helping.

     

    They should have tried Oscar forward for 10 minutes tonight,  to see how he shaped ?   too late now.

    This. Rawlings left to get Casey to a grand final, while our defence wouldn’t get us out of a wet paper bag.

    "Then it clicked. Just as Tom McDonald hobbled from the field after rolling his ankle following an awkward landing in a marking contest, Melbourne's small brigade came to life." - AFL.com

    We lowered our eyes, began locking it in, and found space in front. And then it unclicked . . . when Tomald returned.

    We've seen the same thing happen with Hogan's absence in the past two years.

    Out: KK and Tomald - send him to CHB if you want to keep him, can't be worse than his brother. And we could undoubtedly do with some leadership down back. Jones should join him there as well, and Fritsch who can jump and mark can play up front.

    In: Keilty and Garlett

    Too vast a job...with far too little to choose from.

    The three who need to go are ANB, Oscar and Jones.

    Unfortunately, Jones being captain makes it nearly impossible for us to get him out of the 22, whilst I fear that Goodwin's stubbornness and favouritism means the other two won't be dropped.

    I agree Jones is becoming a liability always  trying 2 bomb it long. Oscar needs 2 reinvent himself & play forward Frost either wing or not at all. I'm annoyed we sold the farm for Lever & May. May came 2 us unfit gets suspended & injured - he owes us big time. ANB fumbles & runs around like a headless chook..No offence Mr Fowler.

    Goodwin's 2 predictable he doesn't try 2 b innovative during a game it's a big negative

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
