Out: Jetta (inj), T Mc (?inj), Weideman, Lewis, C. Wagner, Spargo

In: Stretch, Keilty, T Smith, Sparrow, Lockhart, Garlett (shudders)

FB: Hore  Hibberd   C. Wagner
HB: Brayshaw  Frost   Salem

HF: Petracca  Keilty  Melksham
FF: T. Smith   Preuss   Garlett
Foll: Gawn  Oliver   Harmes
Int: Jones, Sparrow, Fritsch, Hunt

Badly need some fresh legs. Try Gus at half back, he's getting exploited in the midfield anyway. Fresh runners through the middle. Try something different up forward. Keilty to hit the packs, Tim Smith as the 3rd tall who gives more at ground level than most in our side.

 

IN: STRETCH, NEAL-BULLEN, LOCKHART, GARLETT, MAY

OUT: SPARGO, LEWIS, J.WAGNER, C.WAGNER, HORE

In - Stretch, Lockhart, Garlett - runners, some even with speed.

I haven't been overly enamoured with Kielty but he cant be worse than TMac, or for that matter, Weideman - equally horrible and cant mark the footy to save himself at the moment.

Don't really care who goes out - we stink

I’d drop Spargo who has no idea what he’s doing out there defensively. 

I’d also pretend to “rest” at least one of Hibberd, Jones and TMac. 

Forget pretending, Tommy Mac must go (at least Jones and Hibbard got near the ball) along with Lewis and Spargo...

Where are all those calling for Lewis to come back into the side to add some experience. For Fu.......sake.

He is a liability, the pity is we don't have anyone to replace him.

Play him at CHB FFS the forward line has failed him.


Out ; my interest in this unbelievably disappointing club for the remainder of 2019

In; more golf as my frequent disappointments are entirely of my own doing 

Edited by monoccular

Our best at delivering inside 50 are Milkshake and Angus.  Play them high half forward.  Bring in Jeffy and Lockhart to rove, and to lock the ball in the forward 50.  Tom Mac will be persisted with but he is terrible ATM.  We really need Aaron Vandenberg and Hannan back at half forward, and Lever/May in the backline.  Frost did OK tonight, I thought.  My guess is we will not be as brutal as we would like.

Ins:  OMac, Petty, Lockhart, Jeff, Maynard, Kielty

Outs: Spargo, Jones, Jetta (inj), TMac (desire, but unlikely), J Wagner, Take your pick of 7-8 others. 

 

Jones out. Time for an effing huge statement.

Wingman

Yes, I am old and understand there has been many changes to game styles but could someone explain why the Club that produced Robbie Flower, Alan Johnson and Stan Alves in my time has no belief in the need to have a talented wingman  who can play at the MCG


Outs. Lewis. T mcd.  Spargo. J.Wagner

ins. Garlett Stretch Lockhart Jordan 

Jetta. Frost. Hibberd

Salem. Hore. Hunt

Brayshaw. Viney. Stretch

Petracca. Weideman.  Melksham 

Garlett. Preuss. Fritsch 

Gawn. Harmes. Oliver

Jones.  Jordan. Lockhart. C-Wagner 

Hunt and T. McDonald to the backline for starters.  We need Hunt’s pace to defend the opposition rebound and TMac needs to freshen up and find his form again.  Hunt if not a forward.

Jeffy gets a run in the forward line and must be demanded to tackle everything that moves.  

Give Jones a defensive forward role in the pocket and tell him to make every ground ball a contest.  Hopefully snag a couple too.

Lockhart back in.  I like him; things seems to ‘happen’ when the ball is in his hands.

Weideman and Preuss stay as the talls up forward; not expecting a big bag from either, but hopefully a contest supported by Jeffy, Jones and Lockhart, will see a better outcome than today.

 

 

Um... don’t really know after that.

 

My worry is that with how much the tigers will destroy us by and how insipid we are, our performance could cost us anzac eve.

Play the kids

I've watched Casey enough times to wonder why Oskar Baker isn't getting a run. We desperately need pace and I'm bamboozled as to why he wasn't given a run last season. Now's the time.

We do have Bailey Fritsch ..... but he is, I believe, being played as a defender. 

Desperate times, season all but over, time to see who we have on our list.

ins: Stretch, Lockhart, Jeffy, Sparrow

TMac goes back or out, Fritsch to a wing or half forward

outs: Lewis, Spargo, the Wagners

Anyone for a goddamn crumbing defensive forward. FML how many times can 17 players fly for the same mark up forward and watch a lone opponent run away with the footy?

Petraccattack, I've probably gone early but he couldn't do worse than Spargo.

Both captains on notice also. 

 

For now.

In : O Mac, Lockhart, Garlett.

Out: Wagners, Spargo 

O Mac surely gets back in if Jumping Jack plays. Frost to Lynch. At least with O Mac the Richmond talls will be forced to jump to mark the ball. Fritsch and Hibbo are not key defenders. Hore can go to Caddy and try to run off him, Hunt can go back to play on their mozzie fleet.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
