Tmac and hibberd in

Hunt and Jordan out with Jordan being moved to sub and Vanders going back to VFL.

 

Vanders did my head in last night. Fine line between tough and stupid. Give Hunt the week off if needed and same for T Mac. Rest of the team have a score to settle with The Crows.

Vanders back to sub. Jordon retains spot. 

Yep. No brainer.

    Vanders was well and truly on the wrong side of the line last night. 

     

    Did I detect in the presser that Goody is thinking about Weeds for next week in his comments about Tom?  Or am I way off track.

    It would be wise to make sure Tom is fully for for finals and Weeds would be better for the run if needed in the finals.  There may be a lot of discussion at the table about who needs a rest and who needs a run.

    I would bring Hibberd in to replace Hunt. I would not bring TMAC in as even if declard fit he needs another week off.  They could rest a couple of players this week as well.

    Would have to think about if Salem needs a rest but they didn't do it this week and it's now getting really close to worrying about continuity and game time if he plays once in 3 weeks.

    Melksham? He kicked 2 and tagged McGovern and played very well. No way he gets dropped

    Despite his defensive limitations Melksham really does fart through silk. 

    8 possesions (6 contested, 3 kicks, 5 handballs) 

    2 marks  

    3 frees againsts (0 for) 

    2 goals (one quite difficult) 

    79 SC points 

    Few players can impact the result of a game so greatly with so few handles of aggot 

    Don’t like to admit it because he is so frustrating but we are a better team with Melksham than without. Not sure where he fits if everyone is fit but think we have to play him now.

    Will get trickier with Jack back.

    Agree. Vanders, Jordon, Sparrow and Melksham are the only players in the team whose positions are unstable IMO. Everyone else you could pretty much lock in for the rest of the year.

    Haven’t been a great fan but Melk showed his value last night several times. 
    Agree - sadly VDB looks spent. 
    Sparrow and Jordan have plenty of upside.  
    Frittata looking shaky to me but does have some credits still in the bank.

    Jack will take JJs spot and rotate through the forward line. This may even result in a little more time with Trac I50. 

    Presents risk and reward...

    I got the vibe he might consider not bringing another tall

    Because this week he was excellent and last week he was awful?

    Last week =  24 disposals, 8 tackles, 3 behinds, 5 score involvements, 4 turnovers @ 63% efficiency.

    This week = 25 disposals, 4 tackles, 1 goal 1 , 5 score involvements, 4 turnovers @ 68% efficiency

    Hmmmmm

    I know the numbers align but his decision making was far better against the Eagles. He played like a smart [censored] against the GCS.

    I get the vibe they will take no risks with Tmac next week at all. Too important from round 23 on.

    Salo definitely looks hurt. No way he is moving with the freedom he had earlier in the year.

    Speculation only but I reckon it's the groins.

    The very small steps he takes when running might indicate  this. Still covers the ground well.

    Agree with this. Coaches seem to really rate him tho'.

    I don't think a blanket statement like this is accurate. 

    I think we can be a better team with Melksham in it, when he's on song.

    But when he doesn't commit defensively, and particularly when Fritsch is also off, we're a worse side, and for large portions of 2019-21 Melksham's defensive work hasn't been good enough.

    (Presumably this was re AVDB) - not sure they will  rate him as highly after Monday night though.

    Is he any good? Have to say I have never heard of him. But I avoid anything to do with the AFC . The team I dislike the most.

    Don’t get too caught up in the basic numbers. His turnovers the week before were quite damaging

    I agree with the lot that Hibberd should come in. McDonald has to come in if fit. Hunt out injured and Sparrow omitted. vandenBerg omitted from the sub and Jones to replace him as the sub.

    What's wrong with this. Jones, McDonald and Hibberd in for me to.

    I can’t see TMac being ready this week. Best to give his back longer to settle. Great opportunity for the Weed. Would prefer Lockhart to The Pig - much more run and flare.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
