Other than May, Max, Hibberd, Jack and Trac and a special mention to Lockhart you can take your pick

And Lever.

The rest are fair game.

If this team were stock you would unload it asap.

 

 

 

No mucking around by Goodwin, and enough last chances.

Brayshaw, Harmes, and T. McDonald,  have exhausted their previous good records and MUST be dropped.

Others like Fritsch, Weideman, Jackson, Pickett, Jones and O. McDonald still have some credits left , for various reasons, and should be given the benefit of the doubt for at least another week.

As Bartlett alluded to, it’s time for the club to stand up and show it cares, and only select players who give a crap!

Jones, T.Mac

I will never renew my membership if Nathan Jones is selected next week. Bloke has been a fantastic player but the game has passed him by and its time for him to retire 

Jones is done. TMac is done
 

Put Brayshaw in the middle, Viney can move through the fwd line

 


Last year when at we where able to go to live games I noticed AVB constantly encouraging and praising players even though Viney was the Captain and hardly ever saw this from him. Have seen it from Bennell, all be it from the box

We are well and truely a mess on here.

I think Action my need to have a rest his body isn't quiet there yet should do a Weideman Apprenticeship, 

The one thing i truely don't understand is the acquisition of Tomlinson to play on a Wing, sure its a problem area for us but he's not suited to it.

I've mentioned this before along with others, why not throw him at CHF and try and clunk a few. He's not bad above his head and has a reasonable tank.

Really upset for H.Petty that he is not availible, he is the future CHF that lad.

I'm already genuinely nervous about next week. Imagine the media frenzy if we lose. 

I think the term ‘Catharsis’ comes to mind if we fall next week


You'd think Vanders would be a straight swap for Jones. T-Mac would make way for Harley, trading height for mobility and speed up front. I wonder if it might also be a good week to rest Clarry and bring Gus inside for this game and replace young Sparrow with Tomlinson on the wing. 

After such a p!ss poor game last Thursday    There is every excuse for changing players position and personal    and  no one would criticise that,   just be prepared to do it during a game as well.   or try a Planet B,   i forgot there is no planet B

Add Jones to that list of to be omitted.

And drop OMac, Salem, Harmes replacing them with muscle and pace - who are hungry for the game.

Surely Jones and Oscar don't have any credits left?


OUT: Fritsch, Brayshaw, Harmes, Jackson, Hannan

IN: Bennell, Tomlinson, Rivers, vandenBerg, ANB

Jackson fan, but he needs a week rest, you could possibly argue the same for Kozzy some time in the next game or two. 4 disposals, 4 hitouts and 0 tackles is a tired young player. Not TMac's fault the structure was all wrong, give him another game to show some form otherwise he's out indefinitely.

Hannan has had 0 impact for 2 games in a row. Fritsch not providing enough pressure and doing some dumb things, could argue Melksham has been the same, but his kicking for goal saves him.

Gus and Harmes out so we can try a more 'traditional' setup, hopefully our stubborn coach has started to learn we play better when he doesn't try to be too clever for his own good.

Tomlinson has hopefully had the tweak needed to bring greater physical intensity. ANB and vB for pressure. Bennell and Rivers for kicking.

I noticed every time Lockhart tried to kick the ball he'd kick low on  an angle and invariably got cut off by the opposition.

I notice this as well, It's intriguing to see that technique. Works well to get the ball where you want quicker but I don't think he's got the efficiency to do that yet. 

Amazing to think that we are upset about someone kicking low and hard rather than up and under. He'll get there.

Still worried about our key forward set up. TMac appears done, Weid has been ok, just, and first year player in Jackson. So we are relying on Weid suddenly becoming Tom Hawkins or Jackson having a breakout game.

Not upset, but I would hope he’d be instructed to play within his limitation and honesty if he’s going to turn it over I’d prefer it be 50m down the line than 15m inside the corridor. 

I like him though and could even be the long term replacement for Nev we’re hoping for. 

Edited by Pates

wow North beat the Crows by 70 today and we have an extra 2 days break .   They are winless.

I think we know which way this is going...

Its worth noting that the rest of the remaining players have finally joined the the rest of the crew.

I was a fan of some of Oskar Bakers work on the wing last year. Quick and agile and is a good kick also.

I would bite the bullet and bring him in if it meant that Jones or Brayshaw don't have to play on the wing every again.

I am a fan of Baker.   He is very fast and he likes to kick a goal too. Just what you love from a wingman.

Maybe he and Bedford could breathe some life into the team.

Low meaning it bearly cleared the opposition player who a couple of times actually got a hand to it, which meant it didn't go to one of our players as intended

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.

  • 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?
