    Jones was horrendous and must not be gifted a game next week. I dont care if its his 17th game or his 300th.

     

    In  -  Weideman, B Brown, Bedford

    Out  -  M Brown, Jones, ANB

    Angry again P2J?

    No ecstatic.  5-0.

    A few changes needed though as the Tigers have an extra 3 day break than us and will be fresh as a daisy.

    IN: BBrown, Weid

    OUT: MBrown, Jordon (stiff) 

    jones is only hanging on due to the media surrounding 300 -301 might be some time away

     

    Drop Jones? FMD. What better extra motivation for the boys to get over the line for Nate’s 300th?

    I would take out Jordon, M. Brown and ANB for BBB, The Weed and Bedford. Sparrow stays as sub.

    No way Jones is getting dropped for next week. After that ...

    I think he was playing the first 6 games this year regardless

    I actually agree. We can't carry him against the Tiges. Hold him over for the North game.

    Yeah good point. We need some fresh legs to come in, would actually justify his omission well, to save a bit of face and bring him back in a few weeks for a deserved milestone

    Jordon had a great game. Would be very stiff. 

    I have been a Demon supporter since 1959. I was nine years old then.I went to the footy as often as I could. I stopped going as often as I could after 1965: I mainly went with my brother and my son who were both Fitzroy supporters. I listened though, followed them, went to a few games in 1976 and when Barassi first came back. Then came the Northey and early Balme Resurrection and I listened to most games. Then the cruel last two years of Balme when injuries decimated us, then that weird but often great Daniher period, when I still listened. Which is a long winded way of saying I can't listen or watch live any more, not even in 2018. I watch the replays the nest day if we win. I do keep up with the stats though.  In the meantime, I was glad they didn't drop Jordon after an ordinary game last week and was thrilled when I saw he got a bit of the ball today: I felt really happy for him. In the meantime, I'll watch the highlights tonight, the full replay tomorrow and I will cast my 6,5,4,3,2,1 after that. Go Dees.

    OUT: Petty, M. Brown, Melksham
    IN: Jetta, Wiedeman, B. Brown

    McDonald to wing, with a defensive mindset if the Tigers get on top, but an attacking mindset if we're controlling the ball.

    In Tassie? For his 300th?

    Yeah. Fair point

    I worry he'll be exposed badly v the tiges

    AnB fought back really well in the second half. Did some nice things.

    Agreed. When a player redeems early mistakes within the same game as ANB did today, you don't drop them.

    Would like to think that one of May or Fritsch could be ready again - though the shorter turnaround doesn't help.

    You can't not put Weideman in, but Ben Brown was playing more up the ground apparently, so goals not everything. Hard to see us having Jackson, Tom Mac, Weideman and Ben Brown in the same team, especially as you'd have to drop a smaller forward to do so. But ...?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      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?
