    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
