I like it. Does that indicate Viney to spend more time in the forward line, taking Hannan's spot and giving Brayshaw more time in the middle? Roll Viney in occasionally to crash into Pendlebury's quad?

    Hannan out and vandenBerg still in.

    Tell me the absolute lie that Goody doesn't play favourites despite form.

    Rivers slightly stiff, but Lockhart has been terrific so he deserves to come straight back in.

    Obviously Preuss in for Jackson is no surprise, and I don't necessarily mind the omission of Hannan for Viney.  When you look at who they have named in the starting six up forward, I wouldn't have him in there for any of those, nor for someone like Spargo on the bench.

    If Lockhart was coming back, Rivers had to go out unfortunately. 
    Can’t believe Hannan is out! ??‍♂️

    Preuss for Jackson and Lockhart for Rivers like for like replacement. Viney for Hannan hopefully means Viney will rotate more through forward 50 and Brayshaw can continue to maximise his centre square time. 

    Ecstatic no Stephenson has a habit of killing us.

    Don’t understand Rivers getting dropped, looked good to me.

    Moore and Pendles, the rest are average at best.

    On the Coll side:

    In: Jamie Elliott, Scott Pendlebury, Ben Reid, Darcy Moore, Will Hoskin-Elliott

    Out: Brayden Sier (quad), Jaidyn Stephenson (omitted), Jordan Roughead (concussion), Tim Broomhead (omitted), Chris Mayne (omitted)

    Every chance Pendlebury and Hoskin-Elliot underdoen and other Key injuriey outs:  Howe, Treloar, DeGoey

    Stephenson out is interesting...who is going to kick their goals!

    We have a much better team than they have and 2 days extra rest. 

    Dees to win.

    I'm telling you, you don't know the reasons why changes are made. This isn't under age football.

    Trent rivers very stiff

    Same as Mitch Hannan more solid than a less than satisfactory Jake Melksham!!!! Goody plays favourites AGAIN!!

    And Spargo did do some good things last week But give me Rivers anyday!!

    Melksham would want to perform this week!! Also Harley I would have thought would have played!??

    Thought perhaps Lockhart might have come in for Harmes, given Rivers has looked great. Unless they have tagging ideas in mind for Harmes. I hope Viney's return doesn't disrupt Brayshaw's recent midfield form too greatly.

    Not a massive fan if I’m being honest.

    Lockhart for Rivers and keeping VDB instead of Hannan are both downgrades in class and ball use imo. And we don’t have much of it to start off with, particularly with Bennell still not selected.

    Not that I don’t rate those guys in the side, I just feel the balance is too much to the inside/contested side of things, but we all know that is Goodwin’s go.

    Seems Chris Mayne is both omitted and on the HBF.

    Rivers is very slight and gets moved out of one on ones too easily. A bit of time in the gym this summer and he will be a fixture in the back 6 in 2021. 
    Happy with the changes. Thought they might manage Sparrow or Jones for Viney but otherwise as I thought.

    Hoskin-Elliot kicked 3 on us in the QB game in 2019. He kicked 4 in 2018. 2 in Round 23 2017.

    He also kicked 3 on us when playing for GWS in 2014.

    He has form against us.

     

    Stephenson has much better form against us.

    Thought rivers was ok last week and Hannan is always handy. 

    I'm guessing Greg Stafford is still our ruck coach. He will earn his money this week in helping Preuss bring down Grundy.

    We win we are in the 8 and knock those giants out. Tomorrow will tell us how much the boys want it.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
