Baker has not shown anything and does not run as hard devensively, I’d give someone else a go.  Push ANB to the wing and bring in Bedford 

Couldn't agree more. Langdon isn't just a foot soldier that does a job on that wing he brings things to the table that almost no-one in the team has and that is his aerobic and anaerobic ability. Big loss, will need to find a way to simplify the role for whoever takes it.

Sparrow in for Melksham's role, Melksham to Langdon's role?

 

Well I know what I’m doing if I’m Brisbane. Run off Melksham. The man has absolutely no defensive running in him. He can kick a footy, but Jesus he is soft as butter.

Left field thought but could we move Salem to the wing for a week? He definitely has the tank and works hard both defensively and offensively. 

Arguing against myself we need our small defenders at the top of their game next week and Salem is pivotal there... Jetta is past it. How has Lockhart been performing at Casey?

I’m just not a Baker fan. Maybe it’s Jones.

Maybe, but does Melksham have the required tank? I'd like to se him on the wing to find out...otherwise I'd be confident of ANB filling the role...

Don't fully get the lack of love for Baker.

Yeah he's no #positivelingers (let's face it other than the man, who is?), but I think he showed good intent and attack on the ball when we played him late last year and again against North.

If his Casey form is decient enough (mind you that's hard to evaluate with the lack of games) if we are not prepared to play him in scenarios such as this, you wouldn't think that fairs well for keeping him on the list.  However I doubt that's the case, since he was promoted for the North game and an advantage of Casey not playing this week is that he'll be pretty fresh as opposed comming off a six day break that Brisbane will be.

Gus to offensive wing

That's robbing Peter to pay Paul 2 potential Losses there on both wings.

1. ANB to one and Angus to  continue his team defensive play on the other.

2. If not then Baker gets a chance.agsin. 
 

3. If we are very brave Rivers to Langers  wing and Lockhart to  mind the Lions smalls. 
 

DONT MOVE Angus he is going fine in his side of the oval.

Interesting that no-one has suggested T-Mac to the wing and Ben Brown forward. What a difference 2 months makes.

No  it doesn't Tommy  i s not a wingman NEVER was and NEVER WILL bE 

He played  about 3/5 mins on the wing  to get mobile then went forward in 2018. 
 

How any one thinks he is best in our team on the wing full time  as against a KPF is not watching the game very well.

We have had a number of players off for 1 week like Salem and Jackson.

Could we be low-key resting players in a distributed way under the gause of injury?

Gee what rubbish Salem was listed as soreness but we don't really know the real meaning of that.

Jacko did have a real hand  injury and Ed let Sparrow on who I believe is concussed also.

Salo didn't look his usual busy self last night. Doubt he missed for 'general soreness'...

Sparrow concussion too? He was on for all of 1 min?

Huge loss because the reality is we don’t have an adequate replacement.

We’ve seen Baker and chandler this year in cameos but I’d like to see Bedford brought into the side. See if he can step up. He’s done enough at Casey so has earned the right.

I’d try Hunt on the wing. His tank has improved (particularly remember the tandem running he did with Langdon vs the tigers) as has his defensive game. 

bring Lockhart in to play defensive on either Bailey or McCarthy. Hibbo for Cameron.

Ed Langdon cannot be replaced like for like. He’s a HUGE loss for us - devastating news from an incredibly impressive win last night. 

Baker very unconvincing in the North game…and no chance this weekend to make his claim with the VFL cancelled. 

ANB or Hunt on the offensive wing for mine - all have a good tank and have improved their disposals.

Did anyone notice how and when it happened?

Not mentioned in the commentary as far as I recall.

No one has a tank like Langdon, so it's probably likely a couple of players rotate in that role. Gut feel is they'll bring in Baker, but it worries me having him and Gus on the wings, neither are great with the ball atm.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
