    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
