GAMEDAY: Rd 21 v West Coast

Featured Replies

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.

No.  He did the hawks

 

Margetts not on the roster tonight, according to AFL app

Phew.

Edit. Dalgleish (7), Nichols (15) and Howorth (17)

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?

Not a fan of Nichols.

If so, wonder if Weid or VDB or JJ to replace?

Given the weather id be inclined to vanders or jj.

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

 

T minus 4 hours

Been a long day

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...

Given the weather it's not the worst out.

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

This day could not be going any slower if it tried! 

Lockdown is not helping the situation.

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.

Not sure about QD, but I swallow a profanisaurus before each game...

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.

I thought the cheeky grin from Max was great...nichols look was why did you do that?

Max's grin was...i have a problem with authority.

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?

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
