Outs: jones, Hibberd (inj), Spargo

 

Ins: Harmes (to play Jones role), Jetta, fritta

 

Have to look at Jones, Hannan, vandenBerg, Pickett, Spargo and OMac (depending on Sydney's structure).

With so many mid/small forwards on the chopping block, surely now is the chance to get Harmes back into that half of the ground?

Fritsch also gets one of those spots.

TMac doesn't get back for Brown (or anyone else). Wagner holds his spot, I think. Lockhart replaces Hibberd if Hibberd's injured. If he gets up, not sure what we do with Lockhart. He probably misses again.

I want Oscar McDonald out and never picked again. Sydney aren't tall, and I thought he was terrible. 

His turnover kick, inboard from half-back/wing with no pressure on him + my subsequent reaction, abruptly ended the life of my Sony Bravia television.

Fairly short break going up to the hot and humid Cairns.    Luckily the same day break as the Swans. 

There will definitely be a few changes.

OUT:

Hannan cannot hit a target. Pickett, runs to wrong spots and cannot keep his feet, just too costly to keep him in.

 

Bennell in for Pickett who was terrible tonight

Fritsch in for AVB

Harmes in as a forward for Hannan

Oscar out for Lockhart possibly or Jetta  

May to Canberra as Minister for Defence !

He is perhaps the worst AFL player right now.  Never to play again. 
But goody loves him. They were laughing around after the siren. 


Out: Hannan, Kozzie

In: Bennell, Fritter

If Hibb's ankle doesn't come up, maybe Lockard (for Papley)

Would keep Rivers, Wags and Brown for the time being

 

Pickett seems overawed and gets few possessions and has little idea of what to do ball in hand - replace with Hunt.

Harmes to replace Hannan.

Spargo has lost his Sparko, replace with Bennell.

Oscar is never going to be a gun but having him improves the impact usually from May and Lever. It also allows them  to get a bit more aggressive on the rebound so I’d rather him in.

I love Jonesy for the warrior he’s been for us but his lack of speed and turning the ball over is really hurting him. I think he might be nearly finished which is very sad to see.

Maybe him out and allow Harmes to take his role on the wing or forward of the ball.

Fritsch back in for Kozzie. I’m a fan of the kid but his brain is working too quick for his body. I’d rather give him some games in the twos and kick a few bags. 

If not Kozzy then Hannan out. Not his best night but someone needs to make way for Fritsch

I said this in the game day thread and I’ve thought it for a while now: he’s not good when the ball hits the ground which is a huge issue for his position.

He simply doesn’t get down low enough to pick the ball up cleanly.


I’m sorry to say this but I’m thinking Neal Bullen will get recalled. 

Ins. Lockhart. Fritsch  Bedford  Baker  Bennell Harmes 

outs.  Hibberd (inj). Hannan Pickett (managed) Vandenburg Spargo omcd 
 

Lockhart May lever
salem. Tomlinson. rivers
langdon. Viney.  Brayshaw
Melksham Brown Bennell
fritsch. Weid Bedford
Gawn  Trac. Oliver. 
Harmes Baker Jones wagner

Out: Jones, Spargo, Hannan
In: Harmes, Bedford, Fritsch

 

OUT Jones nearly lost the game for us,

Pickett to much flair & no footy basics

Omac not up to it

 

INS Fritsch

Bennell

Hunt (bit of run might help)

 

Don't be surprised if Corey Wagner gets a call up for Kozzy. Has apparently been dominating in the lower level and could slot in to give Koz a rest.

I know Spargo only had 7 disposals but he made some crucial tackles and I thought his pressure was better then most forwards.

No Way Do Not Want GIF

IN : LOCKHART, FRITSCH

OUT: OSCAR, HANNAN

Jones lucky 2 costly turnovers he's playing for his career.

Fritsch, Bedford and Hunt/Jetta in

Picket, Hannan and Hibberd (managed) out

I don’t like Wagner ball in hand I just don’t trust him, but probably did enough to earn another game

 

Need to see a lot of changes IMO. I would prefer fresh depth players to be picked than our tired fringe players. We have to back up again 4 days later. 
 

Harmes, ANB, Tmac, Lockhart, Fritsch, Jetta, Bennell and Hunt should all be strongly considered for the Sydney match.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    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.
