Agree Chandler looked a mile off. Sparrow to replace him

    I reckon we need to give Chandler a run. Loved his over the head handball to Spargo for a goal. Dropping him after a week won’t be great for his long term confidence.

    In a winning side, playing against a lower side, Chandler gets another week to find the pace of the game. 

    Melk was sub, so needs to perform at Casey to push back in.

    Chandler another week unless Viney is ready ahead of schedule

    Chandler has to get another go. But if Jackson is fit - who goes?

     

    I was all for getting BBB but he is slow and very clumsy at ground level.

    Yeah does LJ come in for Weid or Brown or Chandler?


    No change. You can’t drop a player after one week. 
    Viney needs to be 100% against the Dogs.

    Any idea how far off Jackson and Viney are? 

    no change, unless those guys are fit. 

    if they are 

    Chandler, Weideman out 

    Viney, Jackson in

    I liked the idea of Chandler but I think he makes way for Sparrow.

    It will be interesting to see if Jackson is available because I did like what Weideman brought to the team.

    IN: JACKSON AND MELKSHAM

    OUT: WEIDEMAN AND CHANDLER


    I'd be tempted to move Tom McDonald up to the wing, get Brayshaw into the middle to help with Clearances and keep Weideman, Jackson and Brown all forward when Jackson is back

    Yep. Move our best forward by far out of the forward line. Brilliant.

    I expect Chandler to be given 3 or even 4 games. It seems consistent with Goodys changes. The only difference was when Mitch Brown came and went and Id say that Mitch was well aware of his backup position. Id also think that Majak would be under no illusions if he got gifted a game. Different for youngsters and seasoned veterans.

    Given he regularly played on the wing when he dominated in 2018 and spent the entire pre season training for that role i'd probably look at knowing what i'm talking about before getting too sarcastic ?

    Viney and Jackson are best 22. If fit they both come back in.

    i thought the Weid was competing with TMac. Reckon its actually one of the Weid or BB. 

    If the club consider Chandler best 22 potential then he deserves another go.

    I think it best we go no change unless Viney needs a game before we play the dogs

    Actually you don't know what your talking about.  Firstly he didn't play on a wing in 2018 except for brief periods he played as a permanent fwd.

    Secondly Goodie has stated ad nauseaum at every presser that McDonald will stay forward & not go anywhere else.

    And move Lockett to CHB and Hudson to full back.

    I'm shocked how controversial this is, McDonald trained during the pre season as a wing, his strength was his ability to run hard forward and provide a target. and also push back and help the defense. 

    he's doing something very similar now, it's just his starting position is slightly different, he regularly pushes right up the ground and runs forward hard.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
