    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
