    OUT: OMac, Viney, Brayshaw, Wagners, T.Smith, ANB

    IN: May, Maynard, JKH, Hore, Dunkley, Weid, Lockhart

    If we want things to change, you have to do enough to force that.

    Brayshaw is a shell of his former self. If injured he must be put out to rest for the reminder of the season. If not, he needs time in the VFL to regain skills/confidence. Not sure who the hell you bring in instead. 

    If Melksham gets thru half a game in the VFL I would be tempted to throw him at FF next week. But probably risky and silly.

    So you want a 200 point thrashing? 

    May yes, Weid yes and Hore if fit. Sorry Maynard, JKH, Dunkley and Lockhart are VFL players

    Things can’t get much worse - a 200 point loss may be the agent for change 

     

     

    yeah nah it wouldn’t be good to be in the record books morw

    90 points will do

    Frost, Brayshaw and Harmes coughed it up when the game was on the line in the last five minutes. Out of those Brayshaw could be dropped but it just highlights the depths of our problems as we have far more worries than Frost and Harmes overall.

    If May doesn’t get up for the game we will surely let the Tigers kick 25+ goals. Lynch and Reiwoldt against Frost, Oscar and a barely fit Lever. May god have mercy on us all.

    It’s going to be...ugly

    I wonder whether it’s actually the Tiggas’ smalls that I suspect will destroy us

    Waiting to see how the magoos go tomorrow before thinking about changes

    But...

    IN: May, Weed, Dunkley

    OUT: O Mac, ANB, T Smith

    Brayshaw should go but I fail to see the point in playing Maynard or JKH, who are the only inside mids left

    What a glorious season it has been......

    other teams seem to be able to bring in younger player hungry for a chance, i dont see why we should not it is not as if they are replacing super stars. it is a game that we are going to lose make a statement as a coaching panel that if you do not put in then you will be replaced. Too many players are complacent in their role, getting good money for not doing a lot, they dont show the hunger or aggression that then need to show to play AFL football at the moment. does not mean they cannot recapture that form but they need to be pushed and pushed hard.

    What the hell is going on with KK? He needs games for the rest of year so we can understand whether he’ll be useful at all or yet another list clogger.

    Change in program classification perhaps for next week.

    Although it’s our home game, I think we’ll be outnumbered 10-1 in supporters. Whatever we gained from last year’s season in terms of our supporters attendance, we’ve receded it back to 2015.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
