It doesn't matter who comes in a loss is a certainty. Most mentally weak club in the comp and everyone knows it. I'm furious at the club. They let us down time and time again no chance of a flag this year they are cooked.

    Six changes

    Ins  

    1. smart footy 


    2. accurate goalkicking 

    (Jackson Spargo Brayshaw Pickett to have 50 kicks for goal as detention homework ) 

    3. tackling to stop the player getting the disposal free  

    4. Disposal to a target 

    5. Winning centre clearances

    6. lower the eyes to a target in forward 50

     

    out  

    1. irrelevant disposals by midfield 

    2. little handballs by oliver and Petracca to no one !!!! 

    3. Kicking to the pockets all the time 

    4. Bombing into contests in forward 50 

    5. Ruck tap to the opposition 

    6. Key forwards playing behind their opponents

    In - psychologist +/- psychiatrist (who could also be offered to long suffering fans), and a goal kicking coach. 
    Hoping the former can get into the minds of players who think playing bottom teams NB 15,16,17 is going to be a walkover. 
    Oue - bath water, egos.

    Ins - Wiedeman, Bowey, Harmes

    Outs - Jackson, Rivers, Viney

    Am sure to get howled down about Jackson, however, he isn't providing enough and I thing right now, Wiedeman would deliver more in that Ruck/Forward role.

    Out: VDB

    Rivers is looking like he needs a rest so I wouldn't be opposed to him going out for Bowey.

    Not a bad thought with Jackson for Weideman. Jackson will be awesome but his output is waning and gave us little when around the ball tonight. Weideman should provide more of a threat forward as well.

    Need some big changes:

    In: Weid, Harmes

    Out: Jackson, Viney,

    Jackson just isn’t having the same effect anymore. Viney is a liability.

    We need to have a serious conversation about Jack Viney. His skills are just not good enough. He butchered every disposal tonight. I love his hardness and attack on the ball but Vanders can do that.

    Need some skill in the team, that was extremely apparent tonight.

    I'm with you on Jackson. Give him a spell. Does not impact the game at all.

    I’m flat, not sure where to start.. our centre work isn’t working, so need to start there. I’d like to bring Bowey in, Viney needs to go.. Max looked so flat tonight, was taking pills at half time.

    This isn't about changes to personnel, it's about changes to attitude.

    We need to work out why we don't apply ourselves against bottom 10 sides the same way we do in prime time games against top 8 sides.

    In saying that, we need to think about Viney's role.

    Spot on.  All the basic thinkers will go straight to AVB to be dropped, however, please look at his disposals tonight that resulted in 3 goal scoring chains, plus a beautifully weighted ball for Fritsch to run on to late.

    Viney doesn't provide you with that.  AVB can give you Viney's tackling pressure and hardness around the ball as well.

    Also, got to find a way to get better ball users such as Bowey into the side as Viney, Langdon, Brayshaw & just constantly kill you with their disposal.

    If we're going to blood a couple and give a rest to others then I'm all for a big list of changes

    Declase in also

    Tmac rest

    Time to start preparing for Finals, ensure there's some fresh legs

    Viney needs to go. He is making our midfield too defensive and he’s a liability with ball in hand and can’t get off the ground fast enough to defend. 
    I don’t think we need another inside mid to replace him, especially with Vanders playing well enough to justify getting another game next week. 
    Maybe Melksham can help us hit a target going inside 50, but most likely he just won’t do anything for 98 minutes. 

    I am guessing no change. 
     

    Edit: lol at people suggesting we drop Brown. Literally the least of our problems. Had a better game than Tmac.

    My god Viney is an absolute mess of a footballer.

    People saying that he'll get dropped are kidding themselves. Goody absolutely loves him and he's just picked up 32 of the most useless stats ever. So they'll look at that as a win.

    To think the club signed him up for 5 years..

    Luke Jackson needs a serious spell. Love the kid but he's done nothing for about a month and while he's ruck work is good he's a wasted space up forward. I'd bring Weideman/Daw or if we need to go bit smaller then bring in Melksham.

    Out: ANB sick of him prancing around with shocking disposal. 

    Viney with 32 ineffective disposals but Goody won't do it.

    In: Melksham & Harmes.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
