With May, Lever and Jetta already out, losing Hibberd and Lewis will be difficult to cover. Looks like Fritch and Hunt to the backline.

Hibberd out is going to hurt he was just starting to find something.

Hoping Melk gets up, need to go with the mobile forward line and get the ball in quick and low locking it in. Wouldn't mind big Pruess giving McGovern something to think about by making him earn one

Hibberd out injured. ANB will come in for him as he's the next in line and we don't really have any defenders left uninjured unless we go with Petty.

Keilty out for Smith or Preuss, both kicked goals today and will make us better: Keilty has had no real impact. 

Melksham and Lewis may not come up, if they don't no idea would come in.

 

 

IN Preuss, TSmith, ANB

Out Keilty, hibbo, Omac ( my 6 yo has more body strength than him).

According to commentators we had 6 listed afl players for the 2nd's this weekend.  The rest are injured.

So its slim pickings.

We need a smart game plan going into 50.  what worked the last 2 times and even the GC was not kicking it in high, it was almost ground balls to take their markers out of the play.

The other is shutting down darling, when he plays well  they generally play well.

Either one its my 1 live game a year so hopefully we go for three win H&A wins in the west in a row.


For the love of god T Mac cannot be moved back to defence next week. 3 out of our 8 goals tonight. Maybe that’s the confidence boost he needed. We’ve stemmed haemorrhaging the other way lately, we need to recapture scoring power.

In : Preuss, ANB

Out: Hibbo, Keilty

Petty’s form has been good. OMac has to go.

Totally agree chook. Oscar just doesn't man up and keep his opponent accountable.

He completely missed 3 spoils tonight.

Needs to go back to vfl and find his form.

West Coast will monster him if he plays.

Thanks for the input Saty. Where would the changes thread be without you?

 

Been calling for this one for a few weeks but time to try Sparrow back...

Doesn't get enough ball for a mid but has attributes that might be better suited back.

With Jetta, Lewis & Hibberd out nows the time to try it.

In anyone who is fit and able. Only 6 MFC listed players available for Casey today (and still won). Hibberd definitely out and doubt on Lewis and Melksham doesn’t leave a lot. Only outs are the injuries just for stability

Coach loathe to make unforced changes but Pruess was BOG today at Casey.

If we move Hunt to the backline, I will legit chuck a fit. He is our best forward this year by far.

If I recall my last visit to Optus Stadium, that was the only positive that came out of it. $900 to get drunk, get a Max Gawn cookie, and watch the end of what was really a very good thing while it lasted.

Post like this and others calling players spuds says a lot about a poster's knowledge of the game

Can not stand this sort of comment.

Sure, don't rate a player. But to hope a player who goes and out and gives everything they have for their team (my team - and i assume yours Martin) is injured and is not up for selection for the next game is pathetic. I hate it. With a passion.

I have always hated demons fans who bag our own. And i have called out many at games over the last four decades.

Demonland is like a virtual outer. And like the outer if you are are true fan there are lines you don't cross. And the number one line you don't cross is satisfaction when one of ours is hurt. And you crossed it.

I have had no issue with  your posts Martin. And in my nearly 10 years on Demonland i have ignored a very small number of posters. But  in the immortal words of L7 you have just made my [censored] list

Edited by DV8

Regardless of who's out, we have to replace like for like. If it's Lewis and Hibberd, then we've got to find a way of either bringing in two backs, or playing others in those positions.

Given that Lever, May and Jetta are already out, the cupboard is getting very very bare. With Hibberd gone, it'll mean that 4 of our first choice back 6 are out.

 

No team could cover having their entire backline out.   We are depleted.

We would need a 1998 like Perth  miracle to win next week....    but never say never.

West Coast will kick 30 goals against that backline.

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
