Interchange to be Brayshaw, Pickett and Jetta plus one out of the rest for me.

    From that extended bench I hope we take in Lockhart, Pickett, Brayshaw, Jetta. 

    Smith should play forward or warm the bench.

    Omitted or managed ? Has the club explained it? 

    Yep. Goody talked about it in the presser today. Managed.

    “Obviously selection’s tight, so we’re still working Harley back to his full fitness and his full match condition,” Goodwin said.

    “There’s clearly a lot of expectation on Harley to be in the team every week – that certainly won’t be the case.

    “He’s a player that we want to see as a long-term player and … we want to make sure he can sustain the full rigours of an AFL season.

    “He’s still working his way back to his full fitness and full form that he knows he’s capable of and we know he’s capable of, and he’s progressing well.

    “But clearly we’ve got to continue to limit the expectations of selection every week.”

    Gawn said Lockhart was excellent in the intra-club last week , so it will be interesting if they play him.

    I expect only one of Lockhart/Jetta to get a spot. Could be in for a surprise here. I don't expect to see Hibberd.

    I also expect Jackson and Pickett to play.

    I'm therefore guessing we'll see a bench of Jackson, PIckett, Lockhart/Jetta and Brayshaw.

    ANB, Hibberd, Jones and Lockhart/Jetta to miss.

    The only one of the 8 interchange players guaranteed to play is Kozzie.

    We have some regulars on thin ice, thats for sure.

    I reckon Jetta, Kozzy, Lockhart and Brayshaw from that extended bench 

    Bennell clearly managed and not omitted

    They have only had 1 game back geez, I think thin ice is a stretch.

    Absolutely laughable... even by MFC standards Bennell dropped from..a side that didn't even play..... A non appearance.VS Essendive!! Garbage selection if he doesn't play.  [censored] MFC CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!??

    Managed after one game and a week of ... Something is seriously amiss!

    I wonder how much Match Committee thought the drop off against Carlton was brought about by having too many "new" players playing at once. Bringing Pickett in would make that worse unless a "new" player goes out. Of the newbies, it's hard to make a case that Bennell should stay in ahead of Jackson (for structure reasons) and Rivers (performance and position)

    The club has said that Bennell was left out as he’s not quite at match fitness and is still being managed.  Fair enough considering he only managed 50% game time in round two.  He’s building.

    he played last week and he is long-term...calm down 

    If Gawn can dominate the ruck we should control the game. Our forward line is a touch shaky but we can expose their backline if we lower the eyes going inside 50

    Changes from the proposed Round 3 side:

    Smith takes Jetta's spot in the 18, putting Jetta on the extended bench

    vandenBerg takes Brayshaw's spot in the 18, putting Brayshaw on the extended bench

    Hannan moves from the bench into the starting 18

    Bennell moves from starting 18 to being dropped

    Lockhart takes Bennell's spot in the 22

    The changes are from Round 2, not Round 3.

    And he's not named on the interchange bench.

    Why anyone is surprised at Bennell being managed is beyond me.

    You are kidding!! How can a player be selected in a non game and then be dropped?? Nope beggars belief!

    On what basis does one week of not playing, and then training be "Managed"??

    What has he done or not done to be dropped??

    Is anyone else with me here??

    As Brayshaw played all of the interclub match in the 'white' shorts while the selected team played at least half of it in the blue shorts, I wouldn't be surprised to see him dropped.  Hope I'm wrong

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
