It's probably too early to get this thread going but whatever.

In an ideal world, we'd get back Salem and maybe Hannan too. 

I'd be looking for replacements for Petty, Spargo, C Wagner and T Smith.

So maybe that's Salem, Hannan, Weideman and ANB?

    Was there and stayed till the end. The season is a shambles and is over. I think a couple of high profile players need to be dropped as a statement if nothing else. Gus and TMac come to mind. Work out which of the young ones have the right attitude and stick with them. Thankyou.

    Probably too soon for Hannan, though given what we've currently got on the park ...

    Ins from :  Hibberd,  Salem,  Neal-Bullen,  Weideman, Lewis.

     

    Too soon IMO :

    Lever,

    Hannan

    May

    Kolodjashnij

    Kennedy-Harris

     

    I think these guys need more game time in their bodies,  before selection in our AFL jumper.

    Out - Spargo, C. Wagner, Smith, OMac, J. Wagner

    In - Salem, ANB, Weideman, Lever, Hibberd

    I don’t know if those ins are possible, but that is 5 clear upgrades and makes us at least competitive.

    Ins: Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, JKH, Weids, ANB

    Outs:  J Wagner, C Wagner, Fritsch, Spargo, Stretch, TMac (even if just a rest, he's spent)

    Tim Smith should stay in, only one remotely looking like key forward today

    A few others looked sore... Petty was limping a bit

    For goodness sake anyone but Lewis, the game has passed him by. Ideally he’d retire from AFL now (give us another pick in the mid season draft) and play out the VFL season as an on field coach.

    ... time to re-start this teams evolution.

    Theory is,  not to go in too tall,  up in Darwin.

    For my mind it’s simple now, season is done, so make sure we are best prepared for next year:

    - Don't play anyone unless 100% fit, healthy and with appropriate game time at VFL level under the belt

    - Play everyone who needs to build experience and game time at senior level with a focus on learning and development. Play a really simple game plan that encourages them to use their natural instincts

    - Make sure anyone who will need surgery prior to preseason has it done ASAP so that they can actually do a pre-season

    - Start the search for new line coaches, fitness coach, kicking coach ASAP and get them on board immediately to maximize time to gel with the group prior to next year

    - Cop the AFL fine for not tanking with good grace and move on

    Surely none of Lever (supposedly injured at Casey today), Hibberd or Hannan are ready yet. 

    Fritsch goes as well if we want to play Preuss.

    Weideman was very good at Casey, Lewis was our best... Surely they get picked after the complete Sh!tshow that was presented today

    Smother the balls with vaseline at training all week. This is the humid of the NT games right?

    JKH is a shoe in for next week barring injuries. Thought l would let you know early.

    Oh! the rest of the above look good as well.

    You could make the case for some big changes if the injuries come up:

    Weiderman, Salem, ANB, Lewis, May, Hibbard, Hannan. Goody also mentioned KK and JKH. 

    The only time you make 4+ changes are when you have a heap of players who are best 22 coming back. We could make the case that 7 changes are just getting our healthy bodies back and Wagers, Lockhart, Petty etc are just heading back to the 2s.

    (Jake) Lever, (Mitch) Hannan, (Michael) Hibberd, (Christian) Salem, (Alex) Neal-Bullen, (Steven) May, (Kade) Kolodjashnij, (Sam) Weideman and (Jay) Kennedy Harris 

    All to come back. 

    Hibberd, Salem, ANB, Kade and Weeds were all in the side when we were arguably playing our worst footy for the hear.

    Hannah helps, Lever is obviously a huge inclusion, JKH is okay I guess.

    We have huge depth issues.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
