First thought is, will we see Weideman again?

Second is, (and I don't recall the other team selections where he was positioned vs where he lined up) with Trac at Full forward, resting in the midfield, could be quite interesting.

    From that lot, I'd like to see OMac, Hunt, Lockhart and Brown in the final 22.

    Poor old Weideman clearly still struggling.

    I hope for Rivers, Hunt, Brown and Lockhart as the bench, meaning Brown takes vandenBerg's spot.

    Weed is so gone - yeah I get Brown is maybe a bit more mature but Weed could be our future?

    Like most I'm amazed he's not even named....

    Must of hit Goodwins car at training or something I dunno

    on the bench i'd be tempted to to jackson - avb - hunt - lockhart

    o mac must be a shot to play on one of riewoldt or lynch too, i'd guess

    i dunno, it's all just a bit...uninspiring

    no viney vs stack re-match either, as the latter has been dropped; they also omitted ross plus astbury is injured too

    carnage for our (former) opponents too; gawn would've been going up against a first-gamer or possibly aliir

    Bennell, seriously could the club stop the BS and tell us whats up,? on one calf he is ahead of: Spargo, AVB, Brown, Melk, and Hannan. That said I think Petracca is a much stronger unit that Fritsch, a'la Dunstall, and like the idea of him at FF.

    Yes, we will.

    I don't think until the team is ready;  and also,  his body is bigger, so I reckon they want to encourage him to be a lot more physical now.  I suspect this is a lot do with it and also I wouldn't play him until we are in-form.

    If Weid is not injured, then it is starting to get very concerning he has not been considered for the first third of the season.

    Spargo ahead of Bennell?

    You've [censored] lost the plot Goodwin.

    And ahead of Jones and ANB, too.

    Did he play well in the scratch match?

    we need to give him a run - far out even if we name him then he doesn't play is a better sight than seeing Spargo

    Jacko will be great but we need a tall forward right now

    Good thing we re-signed him last year.

    Definitely shouldn’t have traded him last year when his value was still relatively high like I suggested.

    Don't know.

    But its by far one of the most uninspiring team selection in a long time.

    I noticed that as well, had been looking for part 2, but I think Sydney has been living off that for a while and playing like crud in the meantime, not a surprise he's dropped.

    Bennell isn't fully fit. Not complicated.

    Again, Weide is rucking at lower level,  and Brown is a high half-forward,  not so much a contested mark against the big fellas.   Maybe a contested mark against midfielders.?

    So I think we are playing small,  because most opponents are playing small.

     

    I don't think,  I would play OMac this week if only Lynch and Riewoldt are the tall forwards for the Tigers.

    I reckon Smith can take Riewoldt,  and Lever can cover them off.

     

    The Tiges smalls again will need to be kept under a blanket.

    Spargo won't play.

    It will be Brown or Jackson in for possibly AVB.

    Goodwin spoke of continuity, so I can see us making just the one change and adding a little extra height to the side.  That's fine with me.

    We can whinge about Spargo coming in all we like (even though he won't play), but Jones and Jetta were both way out of form and Bennell could barely get through 50% of a game while avoiding as much contact as possible.  I know that's to be expected after so long out of the game, but they clearly want him to get some of that confidence back before they give him another dip at AFL level.

    Changes are fine by me as we're potentially adding in a tall player, which is what we need.

    But they played him round 1. When you take the field you are deemed fit.

    Don't give me that crock of [censored] bing.

    Even a half fit Bennell is better then someone like Spargo.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
