IN: May, Salem, Hore

OUTS: Wagner, Spargo, Oscar

May, Salem and Hore come in and add much needed experience and intercept marking down back along with Salem who will give us much needed drive and composure. 

I'm  still in the camp that they won't risk Lever after limited match fitness. In fact i dont think he even trained last week?

Which our season officially over, it is now time to just get games into Weideman. Their were glimpses last night that showed the Weideman of old from last year finals campaign. We need to go into next year knowing that Weideman will be nearing that 50 game mark but also start to build a working relationship with McDonald.

I put Mitch Hannan in the same boat, lets just get him AFL match fit because we have seen what he is capable of and adds such a whole new dimension to our forward line with his speed and tackling pressure.

I know some were anti JKH last night, but i thought for someone in his 2nd game of footy on the back  of 9 weeks off he was qood in patches, he was rusty at times but was also able to lay 6 tackles. In fact he topped our tackle count along with Jack Viney.

Viney out?  Are you being serious here? Did you watch his endeavour and good play last night?

i'm also in the camp that doesn't think lever has enough footy under his belt yet; but, then again, they played hannan and jkh off not much more of a footballing base, so....

IN: May, Salem, Lever, Hore
OUT: Spargo, Stretch, O Mac, J Wagner

B: Hore - May - Lever
HB: Salem - Frost - Hibberd
? Jones - Harmes - Fritsch

I/c: Brayshaw - Hannan - JKH - Baker
Emerg: Spargo - Stretch - O Mac - J Wagner

if lever does get left out, j wagner would be the in i'd have for him

Lot of sense in that post but perhaps Garlett out instead of Spargo.

Jeff G on present form is not part of 2020.

I'd also rest Jones for a game before or after the bye.

JKH and Stretch need to be played. Looking forward, one or both are essential depth players for 2020.

Lever definitely needs another run at Casey. His first up game was very rusty and while his first half last week was better it wasn't a full game.

Melksham is due back a week or two after the bye. (Sorry make that 3-4 weeks post bye.)

And then there is Preuss. Hopefully has a decent a game for Casey next week against the Pies. I would have played him in Darwin due to the conditions but his form against Werribee does not command a QB spot.

If i were a betting man, with our history of foot and toe injuries, melksham will be pushing to be fit round 1 2020

Disagree. If Garlett played all year at his current standard he’d bank another 40 goals like he does every season and be our leading goal kicker... again. I’ll take a bloke who hits the scoreboard every week and generates opportunities over a bloke who hits the scoreboard once a month and doesn’t create opportunities.

On form, Spargo is the least effective player in the AFL. I was a fan when he was drafted and last year, but this season he has been beyond pathetic. At least Garlett kicked three goals and set two other goals up last night.

Spargo needs to add more strings to his bow if he’s going to survive and have a career with us because he’s currently a small forward who doesn’t score, doesn’t tackle and doesn’t find ball. He needs to work on his game at VFL level and cannot be carried anymore.

I suspected there would have to be at least one fool suggest Frost be dropped. If Frost were to be dropped, which won’t happen by the way, there would never have been a player dropped previously that has come off such a solid bank of games. Last night he soundly beat Tex Walker, a 400 career goal kicker, and you want him dropped. WTF. 

Ha yeah Tex has in great form hasn’t he? Been like a mannequin all season. He should be dropped himself. 

Frost has upside but still has regular brain fades. My in and outs were based on not having too many talls down back. If frost stays in you’d have to drop hore who is a great mark and been very solid  

so you would play lever May Hore frost and Hibbo together? (If all fit)

cheers for the insult too. classy.

I agree...  one more  'full game'  with Casey,  before coming back.

Get along to Casey where we play the Pies on Sunday. Good chance of a win and the bacon and egg rolls are wonderful. :)

Lol sounds good, even egg and bacon rolls would be way more satisfying that what Goodwin and co are producing.


Out Pert,Taylor,Rawlings,Goodwin,Wagners,Jones,Lewis,JKH and Mission for starters.

Out Oscar and Spargo. The rest don't matter.

In Salem and Hore. The rest don't matter.

Do you reckon we would have heard from the sainted PJ if he was still around? We miss him as much as anyone...

Oscar has to be dropped.  Pies will be licking their lips at the prospect of giving us a bath.  Those who bother to turn up will be for NDs cause.  Why else would you go.

Jeffy has kicked 7 goals in the last 3 games cannot see anyone else doing that. He stays till the end of the season. If he finishes well.. He gets another Gig.

Oscar Baker is the best recruit we have had in a long time outside the high picks. Looks all the world like a 200 gamer.

As most know I have not been a fan of the Weid however I thought last night was his second best game other than for that crap shot for goal he could have been the hero of the night. It should have been well over by then but such is the life of a Dees supporter. Back to the Weid, I watched his game against Williamstown and thought that day he actually looked like a AFL player playing at VFL level. I am hoping he can have a good second half of the year and go on from there because he is right now the only KPF we have of any worth.

Could not agree more pf.

Agree re Garlett. Hard to know how to judge that game. he did kick 3 but critical errors prob coast 3 more. He stays for now.

But too early to dump JKH he wasnt our worst. Id give a Hannon a week off instead as he clearly wasnt ready. Preuss played a shocker on the weekend so I wouldnt be picking him either. 

Ins May, lever, Salem, Neal-Bullen, Hore

Outs OSCAR!, Tmac, Wagner, Spargo, Hannon

The VFL write up on the AFL web site said he dominated and had 40 something hit outs???

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
