    Good effort to suggest changes clearly without watching the game but they should be as follows:

    OUT: T. McDonald, Melksham, Jackson
    IN: Weideman, Pickett, Lockhart

    Smith gets a reprive up forward where he belongs.

    Out : 1 point win

    In    : 30 point loss

     

    Seriously, we are still a terrible team/club. To think that Peter Jackson once said in the press that it was "Offensive" to suggest Goodwin wasnt a good coach.. The only part that is offensive is the length of contract this bloke has.

    We are going NOWHERE with him at the helm.

    Big winner today was Norf.

     

    We cant make enough changes to that error-plagued and lazy outfit to make much difference next week. 

    Beyond disappointing.

    Let’s worry about the changes after we find out who played well for Casey.

    It is not just ins and outs. Look at three big name signing.

    May is not a fullback, dominated games at GC as a half back  

    Lever is only useful as a third  tall.

    Tomlinson is ok but not a wingman, 

    And then there are the regulars, Jetta sadly is near the end. brayshaw is a plodder. Vineys role should be replaced with Harmes. Without the bullocking Viney is a rover to ther best ruckman in the league, Whoever is at his feet should be starring. Old school second rover for mine. Neil-Bullen far too happy with himself. It just goes on and on. Loved Petraccas game but to hear him say the BLues are a really good team is ridiculous. Sire say they gave hard competition, but a good team. No.

    Goodwin is simply not up to it...

    Weideman for Jackson. I'm not critical of Jackson but he's raw and will take time. Weid has to be ahead of him at this point.

    Pickett for ANB.

    OMac for Smith

    Also need to find a way to get vandenBerg in.

    Agree, except I'd keep Jacko in

    Hear you on both Weid and Jackson. Like to get Jackson at least two to three games. Agree on OMac and Pickett. VDB for Melksham maybe. 

    The good news is that Weid reportedly kicked 5 or 6 goals in the scratch match. The bad news is so did Brown apparently.

    melksham and t mac on thin ice

    at this stage i think - on the g - you need some tall targets to kick to, so i'd give lj a reprieve this week

    IN: weed, o mac
    OUT: jones, smith

    sad to see nate go out like he is - looks a shadow of his former self

    anb and hunt did their roles; pickett will need to wait, silly boy

    I dont see why we can't play all 3 of Jackson, McDonald and Weideman.

    Yet instead of having a skinny half forward flanker at full forward why not stick Weid or McDonald down there instead. Use Jacko as the backup ruckman, and leave Weid and McDonald as genuine key forwards.

    Jackson showed there is something to work with. Feel like that more game time and experience the better.

    Gotta get Kossi and Vanders in there as well.

    Gee I'm glad Smith is in for Omac   oh [censored]

    We need Fritsch to play forward   oh [censored]

    Melksham back in makes the forward line better   oh [censored]

    Great to see Jacko in for trade bait Weid   oh [censored]

    Is Petty injured? He looked okay 

    yes

    Changes:

    Need a tall back, not a brainless kangaroo.  That means OMac in for Smith.

    Weid to come in to provide a true marking option forward.  Fritsch to hff to deliver.  Kosi in.

    I have trouble dropping Jones, but he is under the pump.  As is Melk.

    Would persist with Jackson.  Nibbler probably for the chop.

    Goody should make a statement.  That was just weak.  A small amount of pressure and the Dees crumbled.  Our ‘speed’ tactic hardly paid off.

    For what it's worth, and I know some people lament him on here, but I would pick Weid before I picked Tmac, at least he gets involved in the play enough to warrant selection.

    Hope Hannan pulled up well after the scratch match. Takes Melskham’s place for mine.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
