No change, the right call.

Perryman out for GWS with illness, hes a good player.

Perryman is a massive out. Sam Reid being suspended as well.

    I know they don't usually line up as selected but seeing Jones on the wing is the stuff of nightmares.

    I suspect they just wanted to name him in the 18, reward for his much-improved game last week.

    The back six (May, Lever, Tomlinson, Hunt, Salem, Jetta) and forward six (TMac, Jackson, Fritsch, ANB, Pickett and Spargo) are settled. Langdon, Petracca, Oliver and Viney all get their midfield spots. So there's the last wing, which is probably where Jordon or Brayshaw start the game, or Jones gets named on the bench.

    In other words, it's signalling more than anything I suspect.

    Good call by selectors. Reward those that have got us to 2 and zip. Make the others work even harder if they want a game. Turn up with correct attitude tomorrow and we should be 3 and zip as we seem to have them covered in most, if not all areas of ground. That little rough nut (Toby Greene) is only one that worries me.

    Who’s the sub? Baker again? 

    One of the four emergencies, sons.  It will be either Melksham, Hibberd, Petty or Chandler.

    Baker, although not getting a run last week, is omitted from this week's squad.

    Right decision to maintain the same 22. There will come times when form wains or injuries occur that will create opportunities for those that are ready to take them. I suggest Milkshake will be sub being he offers the most versatility.

    Good call IMO. Opportunities will likely come during the season for Melksham and Hibberd but not right now.

    I hope so. Especially for Hibberd who haa been an outstanding player for us. More so than a few currently selected is all I say.

    2 wins...I understand no change. Go Dees.

    I wonder, I’m glad they’ve sent Baker back to Casey. No need to keep him with the sun with no match practice (though I think there’s no matches this weekend!). Either way it’s good to get someone else in the sub role, I reckon Hibberd or Melksham should go in there. 

    No change is the best thing for the team.

    Neville Jetta has had 9 possies in each of the last two games and has gained a total of 7 metres. Interesting stat.

    He's also rated 'elite' for defensive one on ones, one percenters and disposal efficiency, as well as 'above average' for spoils and contested marks.

    Interesting stats also.

    Also, according to the AFL website, he's gained 31 metres this year. (Not that that's anything to write home about of course).

    My guess is the coaches don’t judge his performance on either of those stats.  I thought he looked too slow pre-season but his pressure has been good first two games.

    Neville “the blanket” Jetta.

    Any other year I reckon Melksham and Hibberd come straight in. No working off past performances anymore.
    I like this from Goodwin and the match committee. Make them earn their spot.

    Has his direct opponent kicked any goals on him? that's the stat i'd like to know.

    Anyone else see Lever limp off in the third quarter? He landed awkwardly after a contest and then immediately raised his hand to the bench. Everyone around me noticed it as well. He came off for maybe 10 minutes then returned. 

    Anyway point of my story is that I'm glad it's unchanged because I anticipated potentially a rest for him.

    Anyway I don't have a newsletter you can subscribe to but if you want more my hot takes I'm pretty active throughout the season.

    Every team needs a gun defensive player who competes well in one on ones. This is especially important with the pace and space  the ball is being moved  in. 50/50 wins are great and so are the 50/50 spoils to ground.

    I like the unchanged team call also.

    Hope we play well, the hindsight police will be waiting if not....

    • 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.
