We could see a fair few changes.  Wouldnt be surprised if there were 4 or 5.  Some players were terrible and some looked knackered.

    Id call for Melksham out but Fritta may be suspended, others will howl me down and Goodwin will never drop him so there.

    After what Cunnington did today I’m mortified about what the combination of Hickey and JPK do next week.

    We are already a bad clearance side but I can see that getting ugly quickly.

    I’d seriously look at bringing in Harmes to tag him because we can’t afford for what happened today to happen next week.

    The likes of ANB and Spargo will need a rocket too because we know Sydney will try to play keepings-off to beat our zone (like North did for much of today) so our pressure cannot slip one iota.

    We’ve beaten Sydney once at the MCG since 2001. They are officially now our number 1 bogey team and have given us all sort of problems over the last 15 years as we’ve won just twice against them.

    I guess the big question is does T Mac remain down back or does Petty come in to replace Tomlinson.

    Our midfield depth is an issue for me.

    Viney always has this foot problem.

    When Oliver is held like he was for three qrts Trac has do do it all.

    Jones is way past his midfield days.

    Jordan is good but if Trac or Oliver are injured...we are cooked.

    More games into Sparrow.

    Who else is there?

    Sparrow in for Baker (assuming Viney doesn't get up)

    Petty for Tomlinson (or do we go Majak for some X factor?)

    Chandler for Jones

    If Fritch is rubbed out, Weid in.

    * I'm not keen on going the TMac back route - this isn't a stopgap - Tomlinson will be out to mid 2022 if it's an ACL. Time to get some time into Petty for that role.

    I saw the Fritsch incident. A fend off elbow to the head.

    If the MRO charge him he’ll be missing at least 2 you’d think as the North player was hurt.

    So I expect him to miss unfortunately.

    The North player played out the game.

    If he missed the rest of the game due to concussion then yes I'd be worried.

    I would rather see Petty come in and Keep TMac forward where he has been very good.

    That helps in terms of a possible punishment.

    Do you think it was a reportable incident?

    Petty in for Tommo is a must

    Conditions will determine team structure.  If the weather is ok, Weids in for Melksham. Viney to return for baker.

    So can Tom play back and we just bring in weiderman to play forward? I'd have a bit more faith having McDonald down back than Petty.

    For the love of God, yes. I can't fathom how he continues to get a game.

    • 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.
