    Looks to me like Vanders or Jordon for Viney, Weideman on standby for TMac.

    Harmes named on the field just to troll everyone who made the laughable suggestion that he’d be dropped. 

    Oh come on Nasher, it was hardly laughable to question whether he had a good game last week. Just because you disagree doesn't make it a ridiculous suggestion.

    I'd go Jordon for Viney and vandenBerg the sub. But it wouldn't be ridiculous to try Melksham in Viney's role, with a greater portion of time spent in the forward line.

    Weideman the late call up if TMac doesn't make it.

    J Smith named just to frustrate me.

    I’d bring in Vanders for Viney, let him play his 50th in front of a crowd.

    Meanwhile West Coast has made a big statement by dropping Xavier O'Neill and putting Waterman, Hutchings, Rotham and West on their extended bench...

    But seriously, if Vardy plays (and I think there's a fair chance he will, to provide ruck support for Naitanui who will blow up after 15 minutes of trying to follow Gawn and Jackson around the ground), I hope we're into him from the first bounce. For whatever reason I cannot and won't forget him mocking Gawn after Ryan took mark of the year on his head in 2019.

    Also means no Barrass, Ryan or Shuey for West Coast this week.

    I know it was always going to happen, but I love that they stuck with Bowser.  Looked completely at home in his debut last weekend, and adds a valuable touch of class.

    Wasn't that long ago you thought Harmes might come out for Melksham or vandenBerg mate...

    Nah, I did actually laugh when I saw those suggestions and I did think it was ridiculous. His game was imperfect, and he’s an imperfect player, but there was a massive overreaction on here to one or two poor bits of play. He was never going to be dropped.

    So? I never said I get it right all the time, in fact I most certainly don’t. I just thought this one was a pretty easy situation to read.

    Alright mate, bit 'sharp' lately compared to the chill Nash we've always known, hope things are ok.

    Will be interesting to see what happens with TMAC. I don't think he would have gone if they were worried about him playing.

    According to Ben Gibson, T Mac hasn’t taken part in full training just yet over there but they’re confident he’ll be right.

    Can the Monday teams be fiddled around with or are Shuey and Barrass certain non inclusions?

    Shuey usually kills us.

    Not if they're not named in the emergencies.

    no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

    Pretty sure you could arrange a training mishap   and then put up another emergency, probably be a fine but they would not be stopped

    Unfortunately I think he's finished. His past couple of games he's looked cooked.

    Then what? They have to arrange another training mishap to get them into the side.

    not convinced that Bowey is the right replacement though. Could be interesting.

    Seems Lockhart has missed his chance

    • 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.
