I'd argue we were painfully close to being "on" vs WCE, the last piece of the puzzle is converting goals and we're back on track 

Yes no doubt. However there is still our "chain" play. We turn the ball over at important places and guys like Cameron love those fast entries from opposition turnovers. We need to do a lot more than convert our shots against GWS.

    My preferred final bench

    - Harmes, Lewis, Preuss, Fritsch

     

    Fritsch lucky, but id give him one more game to turn it around.

    I would guess most people dont want Lewis in, but we have a  quicker team now and his slowness can be covered much more easily. We need his experience out there.

    How can Spargo get a gig when he didn't play last week was dropped for poor form a fortnight or so ago and gives little.??

    That is true. I see Preuss (in support of Gawn) strengthening our greatest asset: Gawn's rucking to feed Clarrie, Brayshaw, Jones and Harmes to feed the forward line. Without some respite, some shorter-term alternative roles for Gawn, he will wear out mid-match. Preuss has a dual role in this function. Firstly, to relieve Gawn of the huge responsibility to last as the key ruckman for a whole game, week in and week out, and secondly, to be a viable target deep forward and thus drawing key opposition defenders away from TMac, Smith, Hannan, Tracca, Garlett, Hunt, plus others when required. He could also be a protector of teammates, a shielding screen, and bring the ball to ground - he is a massive unit to get around, through or over. With the new '6' rule, it may be a legitimate possie for him between rucking tasks - and might also represent a marking and/or clearing role for Gawn down back in 'rest' periods. 

    If it rains cats and dogs or just a little, he gets wet. If there is no rain, he stays dry. Seempill.

    Doesn't have a gig yet, they are just including options in case something goes wrong with a number of players before sunday

    Bit of a joke selection. Spargo, Lewis, and Weideman have done nothing to justify a recall and have been in poor form all season. If it is going to be wet like the forecast says, I would go small, Fritch, Stretch, Harmes, and Wagner.

    He was dropped for poor form, played a poor game at Casey, out injured the next TWO games. They must be pulling our legs pf.

    Fritsch needs a few weeks at Casey to find his mojo.  He is that far off AFL level at the moment it will be like playing a man down.  His confidence is shot, at least down back, and Goody has shown no indication at all that he's likely to shift him forward to his preferred posi.

    He'll probably kick 6+ now that i bring it up, but i think Frosty is a good option to put on Cameron. He's just as athletic and quick and he has the rangy arms to match.

    I'm more concerned with what the likes of Green will do to our defence.

    I received an email for the MFC yesterday saying I can bring a friend for free on Sunday.

    They must think the numbers going are going to be low.

    Probably because we are playing GWS and our form is ordinary on our best days this year.

    No joke with this but I asked a friend if he wanted to go and he said " will you buy lunch and a few beers"?

    Hmm rapidly becoming an x friend.

    Reminds me of the late 60s. Every second Friday the school was given tickets to the Hawks game at Glenferrie Oval. No one ever took it up. It was all Melbourne, Essendon and Collingwood in those days and to go to the G rather than suburban grounds was gold.

    Yes his 15 possessions and 3 goals 2 was utterly disgusting last week.

    Lets face it OD, it's hardly match of the round.  You got off cheap.  I'm surprised he didn't ask for a 3 course a la carte in the Long room!

    We Have Petty, Frost, Omac, Tmac as talls on a certain wet day. Would be madness to play Preuss.

    Can’t imagine anything aside from Lewis for ANB.

    Salem plays more wing/mid

    Don't worry it will be Lewis that plays. I think we will get smashed. Cannot score enough and the extension club badly need a win at the MCG. We don't play it well.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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.
