    Gawn and Viney are automatic inclusions.

    I'd say Jones and Tom Mac are the ones to make way.  I feel as though Sparrow is the future and deserves to hold his spot.

    They love Lockhart, but would they drop Rivers to bring him straight back in?

    It's a nice problem to have.

    Why Jordon? You realise he is another inside mid?

    Edited by Watts the matter


    In Gawn, Viney, Lockhart

    Out Hannan, Jones, Harmes

    Would say Melksham over Hannan but wont happen. I am willing to have a good look at the three talls when LJ moves like he does IF we play two true smalls in Pickett and Spargo. 

    I’d give Gawn another weeks rest. Grundy is enormous but not at hitting it to his mids ...Treloar out & be surprised if they risk Pendlebury. Gawn is pretty sore & Collingwood are pretty beat  up & will be coming off a 4 day break !

    Is it at the gabba or carrara?

    Either way can’t see them going with the three talls plus Gawn

    IN: Viney, Gawn 

    OUT: Jones, T Mac

    Lockhart had a big bandage on his knee but who knows whether he’ll be right; a lot to like about Rivers

    Tmac is quite stiff. Thought he did quite well in his return.

    This is a tough selection this week. It’s a good problem to have though.

    No 'big red'...no more look at.

    We've proven it doesn't work and I sure hope Goody doesn't try to be nice and keep Tommy in the team.

    Our best, most effective 22 has Weid and Jackson forward with Max in the ruck.

    Tommy was serviceable tonight but from here on I see him only as depth.

    If Max is right to go Tommy goes out.

    Viney comes in probably at the expense of Jones...

    Omac has to come back in.

    If Tomlinson stays in, it cannot be as defender. He is clueless down there. The first three goals were all on him.

    Losing Daw and gifting him a goal, free kick to Larkey and then out marked by Larkey

    Had to be moved of Larkey, a  22 year old in his 21st game, 10 minutes into the first quarter and one of lever or may was then forced to play deep on him for the rest of the game.

    That's tow games in arow he has been embarrassed by a kid.

    Just imagine the vitriol that would have rained down on Omac if that had been him.

    Hannan? Gee wiz what game were you watching? Took some good contested marks and really got us going his pressure was up. He stays without out doubt.

    I do wonder whether we need to rest Jacko at some stage. He's played 2 games in a row off 4 day break (doesn't seem to affect him) and eventually he'll need a breather.

    Did McDonald do enough tonight?

    The Pies don't run tall in their forward half and rely a lot on the quicks and mids.

    That's not Oscars go...so a no from me.

    Just like Omac got embarrassed by a kid and got dropped for it. We all saw it and Goodwin did too.

    Tomlinson was good tonight with his run and dash and creates an extra option with his hard running and work ethic. He stays in.

    Omac is just slow. Who does he match up next week Bin? Serious question?

    Spargo?? Are you serious? He had 7 score involvements and barely wasted the ball.

    Did some actually watched tonights game?

    Lever potentially has a hand injury of some kind. Second hand info, but apparently was hoding it behind his back post-match and not shaking hands, high-fiving etc. Fingers crossed it's nothing.

    OUT: vandenBerg, Harmes, Jones, (TMac if Gawn plays)
     
    IN: Viney, Lockhart, Bennell, (Gawn if fit)
     
    vandenBerg with 11 disposals - 4 turnovers, 6 clangers. Must be dropped.

    The obvious ins if available are Gawn and Viney. I'd like to see Bennel back commiting his body.

    Our worst three today were Tomlinson, Harmes and the Melkman.

    I agree. Team high 7 tackles, coaches love that.  I'm not so sure he gets dropped next week.

    He did look a little sore at times though but otherwise I think he was more than serviceable .

    Definitely not dropping T'mac on tonights stats (13 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 marks and a goal). You can't drop a man with those numbers. however the three tall forward did not work against port so i'm scratching my head as to what to do. if he does go, i think that would be very stiff. 

    which therefore means,

    out: Harmes, Tomlinson 

    Ins: Viney, Gawn

    How can you drop Hannan? He was great especially early. Lockhart will have to bide his time. Harmes is playing a different role need to give him more time. We are no good with 3 talls stick with Gawn, Dogga and Weid.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
