    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.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
