Featured Replies

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.

    B. Brown unlucky miss.


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

    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.

    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

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
