    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 ...?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
