    Maybe, but there isn't much else at Casey to replace them with for the minute.  We can only go with what we have.

    Weid should be good in the Sydney grass.

    Yep. 

    Serious question... would you not temper the style...a bit ...to accommodate the different levels of ability and experience ??

    Preuss Gawn rotating plus T Mac and Weed up front. Bomb it long at the scg. 70 inside fifties we should win once we don’t leak a goal every two minutes

    I assume TMac will be a late out and Gawn will spend more time floating back to help our defence. Preuss will help in the ruck and rest forward and poor Weids will be saved from the horror of having to take Centre ruck contests. 

    We’ll kick 6 goals if that’s the case, lucky for us Swans will only kick 5.

    AFL360 has just got me pumped for the game, those bastards! Murphy and Nick saying how you can often get a big response when you ‘circle up’ or have an honesty session. 

    On the other hand if no response then there is nowhere to turn

    Exactly and that is caused by injuries and we have a lot at present.

    Is Tmac still subject to a late test ? Just curious

    I just saw on the idiot box slobbo say Franklin will kick 7 goals on us. Karp. Mr Frost will have a field day if he can actually sit tight on buddy and punch well. It can't be that hard ?

    I am not convinced he will play, you take out two medium size mobile players and replace one of them with the tallest guy on the list who is way less mobile! Looks more like a replacement for TMac to me, without TMac we would have had only the Weid as the only tall. With Preuss in we can rotate him and Gawn in the forward line.

    I suspect a late change also

    Seriously? Jeff "zero tackles" Garlett is not the saviour. If defensive pressure is the mantra, he's the last person you want in the team, it's like giving the opposition an extra player down back. As for the goals part ... how many did he kick at Casey on the weekend?

    Having said that, I like Garlett a lot, but he's so far off the pace he's unrecognisable as the player he once was.

    Yes, people need to realise Jeffy has been out of form for the best part of 18 months.

    Yes, if Tmac is a late out, let's hope we have someone who can do well on Allir Aliir.  AA must be one of the best defenders in the AFL now. He's phenomenal, incredible, unbelievable. ( or so people keep saying )

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • 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.
