Out -  May, Melksham. Jetta

In -  Petty, Bedford, Hibberd

 

Sparrow, Jordon, Jones, Spargo could easily be dropped too.

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

May is potential out so maybe hibbo or petty in for him

otherwise keep the team as is

    How did Brown go yesterday?

    Otherwise Petty for May seems likely.

    May would have to be very doubtful under concussion protocols.

    I also wonder whether they reckon this game is when BBB gets a run

    It's a winning team so -     Interesting times!

     

     

    Out: May, Melksham, Jetta
    In….: Petty, Brown, Hibberd

    Spargo was great. A 200IQ footballer.

    Think we may go small next week -

    Out: May, Jordon
    In: Hibberd, Sparrow (as a starter)

    Doubt Melk gets dropped but understand the calls for him to go

    Sparrow only played 17% less game time than Jordon, somehow.

    Out - may jordon 

    In - petty brown 

    jordon a bit stiff after a solid first 3 games but was barely sighted today, if brown isn’t ready then jordon stays, melksham seemed to attend a fair few centre bounces which pushed jordon out.

     

    tmac to play as the lead up chf which suits him and brown and fritsch to play deeper.

    Jackson floating between ruck and forward and Gawn to float behind the ball and help out the backline with Mays absence

    Yes, what happened to Jordon today? Unsighted, but he only played 56% game time. Injured?

    I'm sure some people just look at the stats sheet when this thread comes each week.

    The pressure that the likes of Spargo, Jordon, Sparrow, etc put on the oppostion is the difference between last year and this year.

    Why would you change that? Continuity is a good thing.

    Out: May, Jetta, Jordan (rest)

    In: Petty, Brown, Hibberd

    Sparrow stays sub.

    "Melksham to Brown...?!" sounds like the cry of an overwrought commentator. Sweet. 

    May and Nev out. Petty and Hibbo in.

    move Tmac back.

     

    Melksham buh-bye. In: Sparrow

    May (if inj) out - Petty in.

    Jordon looked a tad quiet - if tired maybe rotate him out for Chandler?

    Spargo's not going anywhere, he's been fantastic this year.

    Absolutely a brainy player. Sets up opportunities and tackles like a  trojan. I expect him to play all year. Beautiful foil for kossie.

    They used Jordon on a wing against Blicavs after Gus went down back, but ended up preferring Jones and then had a full midfield rotation with Sparrow.

    Melksham wasn’t good but I still think until Brown or Weid come in we need a proper forward more than extra mids.

    I think it will be 2 out of 3 of Melk, Sparrow and Jordon with the 3rd the sub.

    Petty or Hibberd depending on conditions and opponents to replace May. 

     

    Doubt this will happen but would like Melky out, Sparrow in.

    May to be replaced by Petty or Hibbo depending on matchups.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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.
