If fit, one of the first picked.

Based on what? I'm not having a go, and I don't necessarily disagree, importantly neither does Goodwin.

Does TMac play a role that helps this team win?

    I think it'll be TMac for Jackson.

    Probably best if Harris Andrews isn't playing on Weid or Jackson.

    Out: Brayshaw 

    In: Jones

    Gus’s disposal was absolutely putrid today and he had bugger all of it.

    Jones wins it and uses it well and Brayshaw needs a rocket

    Brisbane have a lot of talls at both ends.

    Id be tempted to play TMac, Weid and LJ, which is pretty consistent with most teams.

    Big fan of Lockhart, but he’s not quite right since the restart. I’d be tempted to bring back Rivers or Jones.

    I agree. Why can’t we play 3 tall forwards? They are all pretty mobile and athletic.

    Jackson rucking, means a better performance out of Weid spending 100% of time forward.. no change

    Don’t think you can drop Jackson after today. Started to realise he can get his hands on them so won’t be long until they start to stick. Really like the look of him.

    Joel Smith could be a good matchup for Charlie Cameron. He kept Danger quiet when down forward and quick enough to stay with Cameron on the ground. Lockhart would be the unlucky one to go.

    T Mac in if fit for Jackson

    Interesting to see a lot of people want Lockhart out, I can't see another match up for Charlie Cameron.  I think he might be a little quick for Nev, so I'd start Lockhart on him and have Nev in my back pocket if that fails.

     

    No change for me.

    Lockhart is the only one I’d drop from that side for either Jones or Tomlinson .

    Its a really hard call to drop Jackson for TMac because Jacko was very good today.

    No way Smith gets a spot. The only change down back should be Lockhart for Rivers.

    I think you need Lockhart next week. They’ve got plenty of smalls who can get off the leash (Berry, Cameron et al) so you’re not dropping your quickest lock-down player.

    Jackson in allowed Max to drop behind the ball which tactically worked today. They might want to go down that route again next week. Also remember Brisbane play 2x legit ruckmen .

    My tip is they’ll go unchanged and give Tom another week off (with goody saying ‘it is a sensitive area so we’re going to be cautious’).

    One reason I want Jackson to keep his spot is that, by having him in the side, it allowed Gawn to rest a kick behind the play and do plenty of damage from there.  Jackson rucked most of the time when the ball was in the forward half and did a decent enough job, while also having an impact when the ball hit the deck.  It's the perfect mix.

    I hope that we keep him in the side, but it does make things interesting in trying to fit Tom Mac back in there as well.  Not sure how we do that at the minute.

    Agree on all three point J6. Lockhart has  not got much of it last two weeks but love his gut running to cover outlet marks and his tackling intensity. Just needs to chill a bit and make the most of his touches.

    By the by had not registered you posting name or avatar. Love it. Respect.

    You got it.

    Melk played his best game this season today red. Can't see them dropping him. 

    Can see them giving tmac 'another week to get 100% right"

    How do you fight your way back in? Are they playing scrimmage matches? 

    Scratch matches against other clubs (although I’m not entirely sure one was played this week). Other than that he’ll have to put in some dominant days on the track. 

    Tmac I'm, VDB rested.

    Tmac can play his role and also provides the flexibility of giving us a tall back or tall forward option.

    How will Tomlinson add to our winning team? Who plays Lockhart's role?

    Please get your facts right. Brayshaws disposal was no worse than some others. He is the player who sees options and creates option. (no player has 100% DE especially when he is trying to take the game on rather than playing conservative football). He has ability to dispose on both sides of his body which is a rare skill in today's football. He is also a very competitive midfielder. Viney's disposal often leaves us exposed, but he brings other aspects to the table. Pickett only had 6 disposals today and no tackles yet some are lauding him . I think he was good also and once he learns to tackle he will be bloody brilliant. No player is perfect.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
