    Wonder if they'll pull a surprise selection? Dropping Hibberd for May instead of Joel Smith?

    Hibberd dropped

    No j agree. Just know the club rate Smith enormously and would be finding ways to fit him in.

    You were right. Hibbo out. Smith still in. 
    I’m confused.

    I don’t know how Sparrow is in ahead of JJ. Unless JJ is sore he is just a better player.

    The committee is clearly intent on getting game time into sparrow…

    very strange team to say the least with Jordon and to a lesser extent melksham out.

    Playing Viney and Sparrow in the same team is a very strange move

    I disagree with Smith holding his spot over Hibberd and Sparrow holding his spot over Jordon.

    But, neither is an egregiously bad decision.

    If Port wins, I truly hope Smith proves me wrong.

    Smith was excellent last week until cramps got him. He offers more flexibility and speed on the game than Hibbo but lacks the footy smarts. Can see why you would want him against Rohan.

    Thought Hibbo would be the natural choice to play on Rohan. He could have a field day if he gets hold of Smith

    So do we go:

    May - Hawkins
    Petty - Cameron
    Smith - Rohan

    ?

    Smith might be worth a try on Cameron.

    His athleticism would give him a show of keeping up on the lead and in the air.

    Surprised we didn't bring in Daw ahead of McDonald based on these changes

    Looks better than Hibbo on Rohan. He’s get carved up for pace

    I reckon Jezza would get him for height and reach though, prefer Petty.

    I still think I would have preferred Hibberd over Smith, but I don't absolutely hate the matchup of Smith on Rohan (I may eat my words there though).

    Yeah can't say I agree with the team selections to be honest. Hope we are not playing with fire.

    Really thought Jordon would be still in and Sparrow out. Though Sparrow did have 7 tackles.

    Problem is also the imbalanced of the midfield. Dropping Jordon takes away outside spread where as now we are just too one dimensional with Viney back in.

    Backing Goody with this one but [censored] I'm extra nervous now.

    I thought Smith did well last week but didn't think he'd hold his spot. Big show of faith from the selection committee. Hibbo on the outer for finals i reckon

    Fantastic to have 3 leaders back.

    the team looks excellent with a great mix of youth and experience and some good pace.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
