That's 8 changes shows how far we are from the rest of the pack.

July 5, 20205 yr

I don't want to drop TMac until we've seen how he goes with proper support.

At least one of Melksham, vandenBerg and Hunt has to go, preferably two. At least one of Weideman and Brown has to come in. Bennell, Jones and ANB could also get a gig.

I think one of Rivers and Lockhart has to go as well, I don't think we can carry both. Maybe opens a spot up for Jetta to return.

But even with these key changes, we won't improve until our midfield improves its kicking and decision-making and our forwards lead into space, hold marks, create opportunities, and work better together.

July 5, 20205 yr

Tomlinson out for me.

Bring in Bennell for him.

July 5, 20205 yr

I'd bring in Jetta and Weideman for Rivers & Vandenberg.

Melksham is lucky because he at least hit the scoreboard and we really don't have many other options.

During the off season I said I wanted Dan Butler and I think we missed a golden opportunity to inject additional leg speed.

I really feel our coaches and recruiting team overrate our existing players.

Oh and Bennell is a must have, likely for Hunt.

Musical chairs (?) Pin the tail on the donkey(?) Whatever!

No point playing Brown, our season is cooked so its about getting games into the future.

In Jackson, Weiderman, Bennell, Bedford

Out Melksham, Hunt, AVB, Brayshaw

ANB kicked two goals vs Carlton but got dropped because the rest of his game was poor.

The same standards should be applied to Melksham.

That would help but it might be beyomd the realms of possibility for such a stupid side.

This the wrong attitude. It's about putting the best team on the park every week and trying to win. That's the best form of development for any footy club, let alone ours.

Goodwin spoke of starting to get continuity with the side through the week, but there are plenty who are straight away on the block, and some other bigger names who are not giving us anything, so there just has to be changes.

Jetta in for Lockhart - I like Lockhart, but has struggled the last 2 weeks, and Jetta is ready to come in
Jackson in for Melksham - Jake has frustrated me no end the last 2 weeks, so has to go, and we need another tall
Bennell in for VDB - if we have an injury plagued player being managed through games, we desperately need Bennell's class over VDB
ANB in for Hunt - bit of a deck chairs change, but Hunt has given nothing the last 2 weeks
OMac in for Smith - can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe this frees up Lever to play the role we need him to

If Brown is in our best team we are stuffed. Jones and Jetta yep for sure they will make us better. Jones comes in for Viney, jetta for Rivers. But i would like to see Jackson Weiderman, Bedford and Bennell as well. Some height speed and skill

The problem with that is we played our best team and got flogged. Time to look at the future that's all we do at Melbourne. We have an overrated list and a terrible coach.

I don't think we played our best team at all. Our best team doesn't involve Tom McDonald as a sole key forward, or playing Jake Lever as a second tall back when he should be a third tall. Harley Bennell is in our best team. There are changes that need to be made and I don't think it should involve throwing first year players into such a poorly drilled team or before form warrants it.

Out: Picket, Hunt, Melksham, Smith.

We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

REPORT: Hawthorn
REPORT: Hawthorn

The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
