Changes vs West Coast

[chookrat 4,250]

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

F.     Smith        Pruess   Garlett

R. Gawn, Brayshaw, Oliver

I/C. Harmes, ANB, J.Wagner, Jones

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.

 

[DemonOX 8,791]

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.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

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?

[rjay 24,928]

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.

[Older demon 2,741]

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.

Oscar was limping at the end of the game.We can only hope.....

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

Whatever happens, I’ll end up inebriated. 

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.

Really poor post he's one of our own.

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

Surprise in ...Oscar Baker  for  some leg speed grunt.  Have that feeling.   Maybe for Garlett. Not doing enough.

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

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.

[What 18,810]

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.
