If the most unskilled club in the league can't fit in a highly talented (albeit not at peak fitness) player such as Bennell this week, then I suspect that club and player have unofficially parted ways. 

 

spot on. He's so skilled that he stood out big time when he has played doing things most of the team can't execute and should be in for that reason alone.

Melbourne Prime Time TV Game on Saturday night as we fight to make finals.

 

What could possibly go wrong.

You do understand that we can't afford players in the team that apply zero defensive pressure?

Didn't watch the GWS game last night but I have watched them several times.

In general the teams that are successful against them force the game to be played around the boundary line and deny room to the outside runners by blocking the corridor.

It makes for an ugly game but so be it.

Will Goodwin back his usual gameplan or go defensive.

 

Exactly what is Goodwins game plan? From what I have  seen this year for the most part is get possesion and just blast away into the Forward line

It would certainly be a good time to play a blinder - it might save a few memberships !

I don't think we blasted away into the forward line against Freo.  We kept trying slick handballs with the slippery ball, and losing possession. Surely we should have roosted it whenever possible in those conditions.

Don’t think so. One, he is contracted. Two, he is undergoing surgery and will be sidelined up to 3 months. Really don’t think another club will come sniffing under that scenario.

While that's his reputation, I didn't see it in the games he played for us.

I'm not saying he shouldn't remain on our list, but I also think he's still some distance away from his best footy. Will he get there? I don't know.

Why do people even want to make finals? Do people think you get a trophy for coming 8th and losing first round? 

we lost to Sydney and Fremantle. convincingly. I'd prefer to lose the next 2 games so change occurs.

I think so, we need to see what he offers, essentially he is our midfield depth.  If Preuss isn't going to ruck 30% of the time not sure why you would play him, the question is will Brown or Tmac offer more.

My side

Hibbard May Lever

Rivers Tomlinson Salem

Langdon Oliver Sparrow

Bennell TMac Fritsch

Pickett Weiderman Melksham

Gawn Petracca Viney

Smith AVB Bedford Baker

Out Hunt, Pruess, ANB

IN Tmac, Bennell, Sparrow


FWIW, quite a strong wind in East Brisbane today with some significant gusts.  Had some showers earlier and perhaps a little more on the way.  Supposed to be windy again tomorrow with a chance of a shower but the Gabba is fairly well protected from the wind.

I am hoping for a fast track for tomorrow evening.  We seem to be hopless in wet conditions.

We are desperate if we are getting excited and rushing Tom Sparrow back in. I think he has been fairly disappointing in every game he has played this year. I don’t think he has contributed anything to the side this year. Very young kid, with a potentially bright future, not going to make a difference this week.

in 2018, it didnt look like we'd make the finals with 2 rounds remaining then we made a prelim.

so, anything can happen 

 

Oh christ, Leon has dropped the skipper.   he is sending a message and calling for a big effort, they will set themselves for this one

Goody can’t drop Melksham because they are buddies, but Leon Cameron is prepared to drop his captain on the eve of finals.

There’s some actual ruthlessness

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
