CHANGES: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn

Best case scenario is McDonald has a scratch on the cornea only. They heal up quickly so he may be available with some luck. Otherwise, bring Brown in.

And Jones for Melksham

 

TMac for Brown if injured. 

If Melksham goes it,  surely Hunt or Jones get first chance? He'd be the only change for me.

Maybe Lockhart for Rivers, but you can't fault Lockharts endeavour or effort.

    Maybe sparrow then. Kid looked great in JLT

    After a win, I'm inclined to go with the absolute minimum of changes.  So, as Nasher said:

    In: Brown

    Out:  Tom McDonald.

    With Chip, Frost and Sicily down there, I think Brown is the way to go with the bigger body.  While Jackson might be tempting, they would out body him all night.  Weid and Brown will at least be able to provide a regular contest.

    Other than that, we stick with the 21 who played tonight.

    Out Melky and Lockhart Tmac

    Would love to play Jackson but not ready yet,

    I think Kossi anit really ready ether but we don't have a better small creative forward

    OUT: TMac (inj), Melksham

    IN: Brown, Jones

    Lockhart and Nev maybe lucky we won't want to change a winning team too much.

    Think Lockhart may  be rested/dropped. Jetta was underwhelming - nearing the end I fear. 

    Jetta looked slow & lost Rankine at two crucial stoppages. It was depressing cause we all love Nev.

    1. Um . . . it's relevant to the thread topic.
    2. Goodwin time and again has shown his ineptitude at the selection table.
    3. There is a reasonable chance it will happen.

    'Goodloss'?

    No offence, but you sound like a five year old saying that.

    Out: T. McDonald (injured), Melksham (should have happened after Carlton game)

    In: Smith (forward), Jones

    Why would you play Smith forward?

    Can someone please explain to me the fascination with this bloke?

    Jetta is cooked, but who would we bring in to replace him? Not sure I'd be bring back Rivers yet.

    Brayshaw might be under the gun. He is a huge worry and unfortunately he just plodded around tonight. Does a Sparrow or Tomlinson come in?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
