    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.

    IN:  May, Viney, Macca & Baker

    Viney to play a down & dirty lock on Selwood

    Harmes to run with and off Danger

    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
