Building โ€˜cohesionโ€™ as the coach puts it. ?

Come on,ย  we lost 3 to injury and we had to drop a bunch as they were horrific.

I would have dropped Melksham and Smith too to bring it to 9 changes.

No McDonald.ย 

Very interesting.ย 

Why would mcdonald get a game? He's useless and slower than preuss

I was initially puzzled at the inclusion of Preuss, but looking at the other inclusions, it makes sense for a few reasons:

- Provides a genuine, strongย forward target, meaning itโ€™s harder to double team Weideman.

- The forward line is now packed with a mosquito fleet, which can feed off Preussโ€™s crumbs

- Crucially, Preuss is a good tackler and puts a fair amount of pressure on for someone his size.

- Obviously gives Max a chop out.

ย 

Not sure how this is going to play out - Tomlinson will obviously play back with Baker on the wing. Brave selections, certainly wonโ€™t die wondering!

7 changes normally rings alarm bells but off a 4 day break I reckon itโ€™s not a bad call.

Not sure the Gawn-Preuss combo is a good idea.ย We tried that a few times in 2019, and it didnโ€™t work outside of one quarter against Sydney.ย 

I think Bennellโ€™s career is on thin ice. You can make all the excuses you want, but the fact heโ€™s not one of the 7 ins and not even an emergency speaks volumes. Hope he gets 1 more year, but I am expecting thatย he wonโ€™t.

Glad OMac is out. Iโ€™m sure heโ€™s a nice guy and tries his best out there, but his performance against Sydney was one of the worst Iโ€™ve ever seen. Maybe the worst since Gillies against Essendon in 2013. Never again please.ย 

ย 

Just because Bennell isn't there doesn't mean he's on the outer. I expect him to be a regular in our team in 2021.

Any one know what is up with Bennell.?ย  Likely just resting him to get him right for next season. Not on injury list. Last time he played he looked very tired.


Is the pace of Hunt, Pickett, Bedford and Baker compromised by the inclusion of Preuss? Maybe the plan is to play Preuss out of the square and the let the smalls do the chasing work for him.

Hopefully theyโ€™ll play Smith forward

Not sure about the Brown omission, he's been pretty handy the last couple of weeks.

Also Melksham must have pictures of Goodwin.

ย 

Finally pretty much every change I asked for, bit strange on brown I think he has been competing pretty well.ย 

I think we will win this one.ย 

Expecting a big game from Viney with Brayshaw being out.

Demonland after the Sydney loss - the team stinks, drop everyone!

Demonland after the teams drop - I can't believe they made seven changes, what are they doing?!?!


Wow. This is a totally different side

Now get them fired up

First 5 minutes of the game will tell us a lot

No. I think they are great changes and you see these players will give 100% instead of the spuds we had in last week

Yes, correct. Mate of mine, who's a big Dees fan, has a close knit business group with a bunch of former Demons. They have a busy group chat where they talk about MFC. One of the former players is till involved with the club a bit and passed on some things Burgess told him including the Bennell management and that Burgo is a big fan of Petty.

TBH don't care anymore if posters who seem to have willy measuring contests here believe me or not.

Same person passed on Friday morning that Brayshaw and Harmes were injured, which I posted here and came out correct. Didn't see you reply to that post though strangely enough.

I don't think those two views are antithetical - it's a third of the team.

The only reason I am not on here ranting and raving is because it is a 4 day break but make no mistake - we stank against the Swans and 7 changes doesn't fill me with confidence for tomorrow night.

We should win well, but we should have won well last game...

With Hibberd back in, is there any chance we see Smith have a stint up forward and Gawn go behind the ball, rather than go up forward?ย 

No

Keep posting LN - appreciatedย 

life too short to get wound up about itย 

Brown the unlucky one but his inclusion is clearly to give Gawn a chop out off the 4 day break.ย 

Rest of the changes Iโ€™m happy with. Surely this has to be Huntโ€™s big chance, I was really hoping he would make a place for himself in the team but he just doesnโ€™t seem to do enough.ย 

I hope we give Baker a real license to run hard on the opposite wing to Langdon, Iโ€™ve been wanting to see him in for a while now.ย 

Bedford and Kozzie back together, would love to see these two buzzing at the feet of Weid and Preuss.ย 

Off a 4 day break and a poor game I think these changes work. I wonder whether they have reassessed that position earlier in the year about managing these breaks.ย 

ย 

Don't like it.

Too many changes lately.ย 

They bring in players that haven't had a run this year (Bedford and Baker). There are only 3 games of the home and away left. Why haven't they been picked in earlier games? How are they supposed to develop match fitness, cohesion and be given time to cement a spot,ย (short term fixes), setting them up to fail.

Those that have had a run are not picked,ย Jetta,ย  Bennel, Lockhart, Hannan.

Selection committee really have no idea of developing a core and stable playing group.

Freo go in unchanged.ย 

Four of the changes all to the bench. So not much enthusiasm for them.

Hoping, Pickett, Hunt and Vanders make an impact. We need them hard, intelligent and motivated.ย 

Preuss and Hibberd should do their jobs.

I do like that we have pace.

A few lucky to still be there, Smith, ANB and Melky. Too many passengers this year.ย 

C'mon Dees finish off the home and away season with some momentum.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
