Weid can't hold a mark in dry, still conditions. He would be a liability tonight.

I'm not writing him off altogether. The guy has had no chance to regain form with the reserves not playing etc.

Please don't play him tonight!!!

    Margetts (6) is the one we have to worry about.

    A wonderful opportunity for the Deez to stamp itself as a professional, mature, resilient, dominant, big-time, legitimate, serious, credible, imaginative (hang-on, Goody's coaching), heavy-weight, premiership contender. Should work out well. 

    Did you swallow a thesaurus for breakfast?

    Would be good if all three could lose their hearing just for 3 hours at the 1st bounce

    I remember a few years ago at the MCG, Nicholls performed a rather errant centre bounce to the side, and Max a little bit cynically punched the ball a fair distance away. The look Nicholls gave to Max...

    They never forget when the 50/50s are in question...

    I would suggest bringing in JJ and playing a smaller forwardline with Jackson spending more time at CHF.

    I reckon JJ comes in. We tend to play kozzie in the midfield sometimes but if it’s raining chuck jordan in the mid and let kozzie stay up forward and get ready for the ground ball. Weids can’t mark as it is so being wet will guarantee he gets 0 marks. Pointless I reckon

    was he the one got upset when max smashed a bad bounce up?

    Our 22 from the 2018 prelim:

    B Neville Jetta, Oscar McDonald, Jordan Lewis
    HB Christian Salem, Sam Frost, Michael Hibberd
    C Mitch Hannan, Nathan Jones, Angus Brayshaw
    HF Jake Melksham, Tom McDonald, James Harmes
    F Aaron vandenBerg, Sam Weideman, Alex Neal-Bullen
    FOL Max Gawn, Clayton Oliver, Jack Viney
    I/C Christian Petracca, Charlie Spargo, Dom Tyson, Joel Smith

    Bolded aren't playing tonight (assumes TMac plays). That's 12, more than half the side. An almost entirely new backline, too.

    For comparison:

    B Shannon Hurn, Tom Barrass, Will Schofield
    HB Thomas Cole, Jeremy McGovern, Lewis Jetta
    C Dom Sheed, Luke Shuey, Chris Masten
    HF Mark LeCras, Jack Darling, Mark Hutchings
    F Willie Rioli, Josh J. Kennedy, Jamie Cripps
    FOL Scott Lycett, Elliot Yeo, Jack Redden
    I/C Liam Ryan, Liam Duggan, Daniel Venables, Nathan Vardy

    10 for them not playing.

    Pretty relaxed about this game. We only need one win to secure top 4 and we're not playing any home finals anyway so top two pretty irrelevant. I also genuinely reckon we're the best team in the comp and we'll roll this mob comfortably. 

    That's not certain snd if finishing higher will be given probably option of venues as in home and away.

    So we need to finish 1 or 2,to get that advantage of choice wherever.

    Also winning breeds confidence and self belief. Or haven't you played sport much over the journey.? 

    haven't time to read whole thread but has there been any team changes today?

    Just a rumour that TMac won't play.

    Nichols nooooo! From memory he’s not great for us… 

    He’s the one who had the Hawks themed Twitter account that got found out right?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
