Out: M Brown, N.Jones 

IN: B Brown Weid 

 

Weid to play CHF up the ground. TMac on the wing for the release mark. BB for the leading forward from the square 

 

Although i reckon were a chance against the Tiger save Jones 300 for the Roos. (that's how to sell it to him that he misses next week)

 

Also need to make room for Bedford he was great. Too good for VFL. Not sure who's spot he takes though

Jonesy hasn’t made it easy for selectors unfortunately. However, there is no way he will be dropped imo.

Unfair on Bedford and Chandler who have been great all preseason and dominated for Casey today.

Edited by leave it to deever

OUT

Petty - good 2nd half after an atrocious 1st

M. Brown - Unlucky, tried but didn't influence the game til the last quarter

Sparrow - Melksham drops to the sub

IN

May for Petty

Fritsch for M. Brown

Weid for Melksham

B. Brown unlucky miss.


Weid and Bedford played well. Thought BBB needs another VFL run

go dees

No way Melksham gets dropped, even when he's at his best he's been like that - kind of invisible but then by the end of the match he's managed 2 or 3 goals and had a hand in a few others. A couple of those kicks across the body to find targets were sublime.

If Fritsch and May are ready, they both have to come in. Jones would be the obvious out but not happening, at least for this week.

Surely Tom Brown is mistaken - just said Fristch & May available for next week?

I get it, and as I said, it’s a pity Jones didn’t make it an easy decision. He’s been serviceable so far this year, but today was absolutely sub standard. But I still don’t think they will drop him.

Do we think jones would get dropped for his 300th that would be a ruthless call 


It was a 50 point win, so as few changes as possible.

Weid for M Brown

May for Petty

Fritsch for Melksham.

These 3 are only out of the side because of injury so should come straight back in. 

In: Weideman, Bedford.

 

Out: M Brown Jordan

 

If Fit: May for Petty and Fritch for Melksham.

 

It's a good problem to have.

This is a real conundrum !

Jones has been a wonderful servant of the club and deserves the honour of 300 games. I love the guy.

However, he was ordinary today and exposed for pace in both leg speed and disposal. If we were playing Norf next week there is no question he would retain his spot ....................... but against the best performed team of the last several years ??????????????

Anyone thinking Melksham should be dropped is clearly not considering his 9 score involvements, not to mention 3 goals.

Thats role playing perfectly

So much for 'a few more weeks'

Good so we can stop the nonsense now. Goodwin has said Jones will play next week so lets celebrate it. 

 

This week

Weed in

Brown out 

Next week -sideshow Bob in for Melky and dependent on recovery - May for Petty. when Fritta ready probably Jones makes way. At some point JJ and sparrow may get rested -although this can get done by medical sub now.

We have to play Jones as it is a landmark we havent had except for Neiter.

But 2 of Spargs, Jordon and AnB need to be considered for a rest.That is if May and Fritsch are available. Hib showed his worth immediately but the Melk will be there for 3 more weeks unfortunately.   We have shown that we always give players a group of 3 or 4 games when back in the team, but BBB needs a red carpet for his 1st block of games, he is only going to get better. The Weid just hasnt strung a few games together so if we brought him back, we are committing to 4 games for him. Id like him to prove his spot by another bag in the VFL. Brereton said that if we were a really hungry team we should be ready to chop players more readily.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
