    Smith not good enough out MAY in

    T Mac in

    Kossie out Jones in

    Melksham stays

     

     

    Agree on Melksham.  He's shown enough since back and a proven goalkicker.

    All of that post-hoc world salad could equally be used to describe a sling tackle the likes of which would see an ANB or similar being handed a 4 week holiday.

    Hawkins laid his tackle from behind, driving the player forwards with his hands pinned to his sides so he could not protect impact of his head with the ground. Hawkins made ZERO attempt to lessen the impact. As is his modus operandi, he showed f-all duty of care to the opposition player.

    If the Dogs win on Friday night, we are locked in for first or second. And if the pre finals bye is scrapped, I would be willing to rest some of our big names for the following week.

    Hibberd was not fanatastic today but I didn't see anything wrong with his game.

    If TMac is to come in could it be Melksham out or is it Jordon.

    May for Smith and Viney for Sparrow are almost certainties.

    Hibberd fell over so often I thought he looked weird when standing up.

    To me, He looked off the pace badly.

    Goodwin in his presser confirmed that May, TMac an Viney will play. He also mentioned Jones playing well in the Casey game ? Significance.

    In: May TMac Viney  Jones 

    Out: Melksham Sparrow Smith Jordon.

    Hang on Chook. He also said Weid played well kicking 4 or 5. Take what he says with a grain of salt.

    Not Jones, rather leave Smith in or bring in Weed as back up

    Just put Brayshaw in the middle for a bit - he's a natural midfielder, and I know he's been doing a great job defensively on that wing, but I reckon he'd be better in the middle than Harmes/Sparrow combined. Who goes on the wing? Harmes? Viney?

    I think we rate that wing role as super important to our game plan. I can't see us experimenting after finally locking down two functional wings.

    Hibbo is the best replacement for Hunt we have. He has loads of experience. Good pace. Can do good lockdown roles when required. He is certainly the best option until Hunt is back.

    Without Hunt, Hibberd is the only one that doesn’t go right back in that shell that we all came out of, when the game is tight and we ain’t doing much.

    Reminded me of Jordan Lewis in his final year. Constantly going to ground and falling over

    Added to that Lynch had 29 possies, the second highest of all players on the ground.

    I hope we pick Lynch up next year. No way he fails to play AFL in 2022.

    Viney to play a down & dirty lock on Selwood

    So Hawkins not even charged. How the [censored] does that happen. How can anyone think something sinister is not going on. What an absolute [censored] up.

    I think it's a tough one. 

    It's similar but nowhere near as brutal as this which received 1 week in 2018:

    Natanui dumps Amon

    What should Hawkins have done? He's running at full speed then has to lay a tackle. There was no second motion.

    I'd be furious if one of our players was suspended for that.

    Hibberd was ok. But agree needs to stand up more in the contest. 

     

    Kossie needs a rest in my opinion 

    Maybe Jones for Kossie  Looks off the pace to me

    If Hawkins got rubbed out for that then the AFL is a joke nothing in it pure football accident.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
