Baker was in the best players against the Swans apparently.

I reckon he'll be high up on the list to replace +lingers

Lockhart to

mind the smalls possibly He was 20 plus disposals and in our best.

    TBH, I don't recall seeing much of Lingers all game.  I'm wondering if something happened very early in the game, to the extent he just wasn't right pretty much all game, and not able to offer his usual high level of participation & dash, and they finally pulled him off near the end??

    He went down earlier in the game (maybe the second), so it might have started then and it wasn't picked up.

    Whoever the replacement is, they'll be most likely lining up on Mitch Robinson. That makes me think T-Mac isn't such a terrible idea. Otherwise Gus will have to take that wing and others take Brayshaw's role. Robinson would give Baker a bath.

    I see Lockhart as more of a HBer 58 but you could be right.

    That makes sense.  He just didn't feature much in the game at all, making me wonder if something was wrong with him...

    Mitch was huge for them in yesterday's game.  Would it be a silly idea to put Harmes on to him?  He's a tough nut and is probably about our best match up on Robinson...

    Just on that game. I watched most of it and thought the players to impress in order were Sparrow, Lockhart, Jones then Chandler then Baker. Rosman looks good as a developing player and does some things that you would think can translate to AFL level but I'm pretty sure he won't be called on this year.

    Sparrow deserves a game and I think Lockhart may have passed Nev in the pecking order but he still does some risky things and under extreme heat may be a bit dodgy against a Charlie Cameron so I don't think they'll throw him into the furnace yet, but I would like to see him get a go at some stage and the Salem to the wing is quite a good idea (but dodgy groins and an uninspiring game against the dogs ) may rule that out too. Baker is almost the opposite of Gus in that he hasn't developed his defensive game much at all. You can see he just wants to kick a goal. I'm not convinced with Baker. Chandler is probably third in line behind Sparrow and Jones. 

    I think Jones is probably the best choice against a seasoned hard-nosed side like the Lions.

    Jones doesn’t chase, and against a high-scoring team like Brisbane we need EVERY player to be capable of pressuring when we don’t have the ball.

    I don't think we can afford to have 2 seniors in the team (Jones and Melksham) as they cant play out a full game so 'yung Sparra' for me.

    Saw Robinson star yesterday and yes he would be a long bow for Bakes to take on.

    Maybe Angus tags him if he is on the wing but Harmes elsewhere is not bad unless he gets say McCluggage.

    Other wing could be Salem or Rivers and Lockhart to mind smalls ie Mathieson 

    But structurally Msybe ANB is the best runner and Baker the most deserved I guess if not the most prudent choice.

    • 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.
