I wouild have Jackson and Sparrow in the side with ANB and Brown out.

ANB may well end up out-running as a tag on Tipungwuti. He has the recovery and endurance if he is quick off the mark - ie: not chasing from afar. The team is picked but I'd expect it to be variable with several players doing tasks unexpectedly. As part of this, I'd like to see Smith rotating (with someone across the game) into the forward line for some goal kicking-practice or an intercept mark and feed, for example. He'd be handy doing that if we make the finals.

    Tipungwati - he seems to be our danger man.  I’d preferred Lockhart in but we will have to use Hibberd or Salem.  Maybe even Hunt could be an option.

    From what I heard, his hammy was right this week, he was told early in the week by Goodwin that he hadn't earned his spot back.

    Do you really expect the club to tell supporters and media about the reason why 22 other blokes are not in the squad? 

    Lockhart is a mid- range player that has others in front of him, no commentary required.   It’s not like they are leaving Gawn out of the side. 

    Turn it up.
    Was in the squad for weeks in a row, didn't drop in form, all of a sudden out of the team, no mention as to why.

    can count 7 players that you can argue should/shouldn't be in the team.

    Perhaps. But the 7 players who could replace them are in the same boat.

    Brown & Weiderman didn’t kick a goal between them & Weids is goaless for last 3 games .. what’s up with Tom Mac??? Would be good to see him get one on one with a defender as very strong plus a great kick..

    Lockhart, first season last year and has only played about 20 games, some people have no idea.

    Wrong.

    Lockhart supporter. Keep saying the same thing though: anyone who wants an insight into selection go and closely watch the replay of our Bulldogs match. Kid isn't ready yet. Major positioning issues. But I think another pre-season and he will be a main-stay. Hibberd for Jetta (who was injured as far as I can recall) is fair. Jay can take Jetta's spot next year.

    Doesn't bode well for Tmac's future

    Probably better for Harmes to miss and get a clear preseason in than risk doing it again

    Agree... that's why it is a mid level team at best

    plenty of time to discuss in the off season which I think will start in about 24-48 hours

    I must of missed the games where he dominated.  
    I hope they send out of a report to why Dunkley and Corey Wagner aren’t playing.  It’s completely ridiculous they haven’t said anything.

    Tomald having zero agility or the ability to take a contested mark or kick goals and then no confidence didn't bode well for his future. Take whatever we can get which will probably be nothing. The club didn't majorly err in a contractual sense (can't wait for the hindsight heroes on here to pipe up soon), but it's just an unlucky fact of nature where we now need to cut our losses. Chronically injured and never got back. Simples. All clubs cop it.

    Jetta a bit stiff thought Smith would get axed. Hibberd is a good in can't complain about that.

    Will probably be very stiff seeing as he hadn't played for an age.

    Had to be Lockhart (if available) for Nev surely

    Oh wait he is out.  Sorry been on the turps

    Comparing players who haven't played a game this year, to one who has consistently played games, good move.

    Lots of Lockhart supporters.

    Just a battler.

    Agree.

    I'm surprised he's not in the side given opposition goals come overwhelmingly from smalls and mediums.

    Bringing jetts back in a pretty clear sign there are not too many other options.

    And I like his energy and attack on the ball carrier. But he is pretty limited and is another dee with sketchy foot skills.

    Not the team line up i imagined the start of the season aiming for finals.

    Will be interesting to see how we go.

    We still lack some real offensive class but Brown and spargo have stood up in recent weeks.

    Would love Kozzy to kick a bag today.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
