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.

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
