    I agree I’d think about Harmes out for Sparrow.  
    Harmesy fumbles and seems to run back into trouble.  But he’s heart keeps him in.

    Harmes and AN are the 2 in question. But on tonites performance probably none.

    ANB out for Sparrow?

    Vanders/Melksham in for Harmes who is medi-sub?

    Edited by ProperDee

    Only one who could possibly go is AnB. His fumbling was horrendous but he was a bit better in the second half.

    Harness, maybe, and ANB would be those under serious question, but will depend on who does what for Casey as well. 
    Of course there could be “niggles” and “management”, but thank the lord that those who advocated Kozzie being “rested” tonight went unheeded.

    I can’t see them dropping ANB. The mix of smalls has worked pretty consistently all year. I’m not dropping him after one average game just as I wasn’t dropping Pickett after several.

    Harmes is the only question mark for mine, and it’s just a question of if we want something a bit different in that final midfield spot with Vandenberg or Melksham. I see no point in dropping him for another like player in Sparrow.

    I’m thinking no change though after that result.

    Harness and Maybe? Niggles and Management I don't know these nicknames, is Maybe Maysie, Niggles Nibbler. And Management, Goodwin? ?

    No change this is the best team we have got.

    Do they sacrifice ANB's defence stuff for Melksham's offence upside if he tears Casey to shreds? Maybe, but doubt it. 

    No change i wouldn't have thought, if Nathan Jones were fit, i wouldn't mind seeing him come in for Harmes, better ball user and more clean/one touch. 

    Harmes needs a negating role or he doesn't seem to play as well, wouldn't mind seeing him run with Mitchell or O'Meara and maybe Viney the other. 

    It's great to beat Port but we simply can't afford to drop any of our games against the Hawks, Suns or Crows. we need at least those 3 wins to feel pretty safe in top 4. if we can win 1-2 of the other 3 games happy days. 

    On tonights form we probably go very close to winning 5 or more of our remaining games. potentially all of them.

    Harmes has been very ordinary the last two weeks but at his best, he's a good player. I'd back him in to find some form over the next couple weeks.

    Alex Nearly Bullen - out!

    In - someone better, which can't be to damn hard to find.  Chandler, bedford, lockhart, the crazy looking rednut that has played a game or three, Vanders FFS.

    No change. 
    Sparrow probably won’t be sub again. Maybe Melksham sub.

    • 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.
