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.

    • 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.
