    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.

    Yes garbage, and yes inevitable knowing the utter hypocrisy of AFL HQ.  

    Pinned arms, head hits ground … all ok for 🐈‍⬛

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
