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.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
