With a four day break and a few passengers today, there are a few options on the table here.

Jetta was really poor and I wouldn't be upset to see Rivers return.

Each of Jones, Brayshaw and Bennell struggled IMO. But is there anyone outside the 22 who is an improvement? Does TMac get one of their spots? Are we going to see players like Smith or Hunt or ANB coming in to bring some extra run after the short break?

Perhaps a rotation of minutes rather than players. Not sure what is happening with Harmes. Jetta looks in trouble.

Need to stop kick outs to Max. At least bring in Mc Donald as another tall option!

    It's where you bring your best guns.

    Not sure we can put out a much better side.

    I suspect we will have plenty of time to experiment for the rest of the season.

    No one is dropping Harmes, even if he did have a poor game.

    If Harmes isn't holding on to a jumpers and giving away a free, he's then trying to break tackles and gets pinged for it.

    Dead set so predictable.

    Jones was OK, not the worst. Equal most I50's, which is what you need from a wing.

    Amongst the rest, time for Tom Sparrow?

    Jones gets another week.  I still think the game is passing him by but he did okay.

    I think Jetta needs a spell.  Give Rivers another crack.

    I'd also not be against Gus getting dropped for Tomlinson.

    Also, I hope they stick with Jackson and Weideman.  Outside of the dodgy kicking for goal from Weid, both are doing a good job right now.  They deserve to keep their spots.

    That would be my out.

    Bring in Tomlinson and perhaps Rivers.

    The head is a bit big at the moment 'dazz' & there's no reason for it...

    Needs to get back to basics or take a break.

    I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
    Goodwin gave him a special gee up at 3 qtr time but he didn’t respond at all.

    Harmes is having an ordinary season and there wouldn’t be one game this year where he’s been in our best 6-8.

    Like Brayshaw, he’s probably struggling with a clearly defined position on the ground.

    Possibly (he was pretty good last week IIRC), but he's barely been in our bottom 6-8 like, unfortunately, Jetta and Brayshaw were today.

    I don't think we adapted to the wet (they did get 160mm of rain an hour before the game). I doubt Goody will make too many changes. I was pleased for Jones on the wing he did his job. Sadly the game has passed Nev by, at the moment and he will be rested. I would like to see T Mac back and would replace Fritsch who just isn't doing enough.If he doesn't mark it he does nothing on the ground and is out of form IMO. I also wonder if Bennell will be rested on a 5 day break.

    Out Jetta Fritch

    IN T Mac definite Smith or Neal Bullen  (latter 2 were emergencies for this game so they must be close)

    Depends on the weather. If it’s another wet slippery pitch I  would not play Kosi or Pickett. dont misunderstand me I think both are future stars but in these conditions Tom McD and ANB would have been better 

    TMac back to provide a mobile big man around the ground to take some predictability off Max (who is doing a great job)

    Jackson was great in first half, but I think a young player would find it hard to back up after a 4 day break. Having said that , just like we have a million inside mids we seem to have a lot of medium fwds in Hannan, Melsham and Fritsch. SO maybe one of them may be rested.

    Unfortunately I feel Nev Jetta is struggling with pace of the game at the moment, Lockart was good tonight so maybe Rivers gets another go.

    Surely Gus has run out of lives. Almost anyone would be an upgrade atm. Wouldn’t mind seeing Sparrow get a go

    Sparrow is good. Tough quick and competitive. He shouldve been in tonight

    Both give us something we don't have.

    That first Pickett dangerous tackle free was a joke...the 2nd one maybe but...

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      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.
