    Out: May 

    In: Petty

    Melksham was woeful but they won’t drop him after one game. 
    We will continue with minimal changes and so we should. 4-0 and you need to reward the players. 
     

    Gut feel is Ben Brown in for the Richmond game. A massive game and Jonesy’s 300th should all go to plan. They’ll rush him in if he gets thru a full match next week.

    may out petty in is the obvious change to make, but like others they may choose to 'go small' and bring hibberd in instead

    those calling for spargo to be dropped make me laugh

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

    A tad harsh there P2J.

    Petty for May.

    Give BB a run if he's fit. He's the only player currently not playing that's a cert to start if fit. I reckon it'll have to TMac that gives way. He's done a good job, much better than i thought he would, but BB has to play. 

    Possibly Hibberd but i reckon it could possibly be Rivers than than Jetta although i'm perfectly happy if Hibberd has to wait a while longer yet to get a spot.

    Ben Brown won't come in.  He's played half a practice match.  He's not ready yet.  While we're winning there is no pressure to rush him into the side, so he's going to keep building up at Casey for now.

    I wonder if the AFL's pet Richmond having an extra 3 day break than us before the Anzac game affect our changes vs the Hawks at all

    Apart from May I can't see any other change required.

    Bring in Tom Petty, leave Sparrow in the side - he did some nice things today.

    Jimmy Jords med sub.

    • Thanks 1

    Has anyone seen or heard how Petty has been going in the practice matches? He is a good prospect but we need to bring in blokes who are match fit and ready to go and Petty has had many injury worries.  I am not against him coming in but he just needs to be ready. Hawks have very little tall fwds so we might just bring in Sparrow for May. 

    Obviously no other change aside from May

    Hibberd for May and Sparrow for Goodys best mate

    Spargo was great. A 200IQ footballer.

    Spargo has a high footy IQ.

    Spargo was brilliant? Sparrow was medical sub and brought the heat when he came on.

    Only people who are in contention to be dropped are Melksham and Jetta. But both will keep their spot for now.

    Hibberd for May

    I think Jetta is in big trouble with that sling tackle.

    Yeah I was still angry after the win when I posted that, have calmed down now.

    I think the May for Petty or Hibbo change is the only one, but Melksham continued where he left off last year, trying too hard to do the impossible, rather than just play the percentages. He’s infuriating to watch, particularly when the team has really started to click and play for each other 

    Edited by BW511


    Goodwin said on 3AW before the game that Brown and Weideman are another week at Casey away from being a chance. 

    Petty in for May. 

    Melksham will be good for the run, and I prefer having some leadership in the forward line.

    Broken eye socket, Uncle Bitters. He’s definitely gone for a few weeks.

    Jesus Gnash - obviously we don't know the details but, depending on severity, that is a potentially long term injury.

    Lever demonstrated that he can run the show down back but Petty is a long way off like for like for May . He will probably get a chance but could we consider  Tmac back and BBB ?

    May out and Petty in. That is probably all that will change.

    I would however drop Jetta and bring in Hibberd. I would drop Melksham but that won't happen and we know why. I would like to see Ben Brown come in for Melksham as hawthorn will be an easier run in than Richmond.

    Melksham NEARLY played well. I’d expect him to nail some of the kicks and marks and tackles that he missed today.  Should be better for today’s run.

    • 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.
