Clarrie was below his best.

Might need a spell in the twos.

How much Shiraz have you put away? 😄

 

No change unless Maysy doesn't come up. My hunch is he will, but who knows what might happen.

I feel a deep sorrow for Jonesy, been through all the [censored] times and couldn't work his way back in.

was looking the goods until he pinged his calf my heart goes out to him.

He has been one of the main drivers behind our revival.

God bless our Jonesy boy.🇭🇹🔴🔵🤴👏

    May will be fine, its 15 days away and he went back on, before the game was in hand and they took him off. 

    Depends on our opponent, Smith the only change but neither side are really tall like Geelong.

    An exceptionally Smart move by Goody bringing Maysie off very early after halftime.

    He did not need to extend himself at all which my works in his favour.

    A smart move to be smashing them by enough to be able to have our entire AA squad on the bench with 10 minutes to go. Very good planning 😂

    Would normally agree.

    But given there is no VFL.....

    Should have said, if May's injured, I think it will be Joel Smith (assuming he's fit). There aren't any other reasonable options.

    Majak Daw in a fairytale story?

    In a like-for-like scenario, if Joel Smith is unfit, that's a possiblity right?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not pushing for that line-up in a GF, but who is the replacement in the hopefully-unlikely scenario that neither player is available?

    I'm so drunk. Took me ages to type that.

    Out: JJ 

    In: Hunt (sub)

    Agree with this. That's the only change.

    Port are tall though, they will have Dixon, Ladhams and Marshall, and possibly Georgiades as well.

    Probably not Georgiades unless there is an injury...

    Will be interesting to watch how they set up tonight.

    They play their best with a smaller forward line but I think at least 2 of their players are suspect.

    Grey's knee didn't look stable last game, he took bump that forced him to put lateral pressure on in the last Q and really struggled from then. He will be a watch.

    Fantasia is always a risk and was subbed out last game...

    If one of those goes out then Georgiadis will come in and that usually over balances them.

    The 4 get in each others way.

    If May is out then Jordon in.  I don't think we need another tall def for Port or Dogs.

    This allows Chunk to be Medi Sub.

    If May is fine,  then no change.

    Id love Chunk to get in, but would not like to be the one telling Jordon that he is dropped and not because of form.

    Plenty.

    Ooh ...well ... that is a problem.  Maybe give him another chance.

    Can I nominate myself for tenth-in-line medi-sub?

    Obviously no change if possible.

    However if May is a bit iffy, even 90 percent he'd still play but we have to pick Hunt as sub.

    Smith has the speed and is better in the air but Jayden has more flexibility playing roles up forward, on the wing and proved himself down back this year as well.

    Id probably have him as the sub even with no change over JJ who clearly hasn't done anything wrong.

    I don't envy the selection team next week. Hearts will be broken

    Goodwin will give his medal to chunk. Rest easy legend.

    Max might even do that - he is such a great leader.  
     

    But if May isn’t  right then Hunt would be the likely very lucky guy.  

    If Hunt is fit then he's ahead of Jordon and Jones as the sub, and what a tantalising sub he would be.

    Maysie will be right...I feel it my bones and waters, the tarot cards and tea leaves are in agreement, and that [censored] octopus (whatever it's name is) is a Dees fan. Maysie treat that Hammie like your first born!!!

    Chunk carries too much risk 

    - potential recurrence of calf injury

    - sub par in last couple of games

    - no match fitness from recent Casey 

    - JJ or Hunt as medi - sub

    - JJ has recency, earned his stripes

     Jones would be first to say, “ if I’m not best 23, don’t pick me”

    Depends a bit on who we play...but both teams are likely to be small in the forward half.

    If that's the case and May doesn't come up then it might be Hunt in.

    Otherwise no change.

    Yup my thoughts too. Although if we do play Port they may try to stack up tall to exploit it using Dixon, Georgiadies, Marshall and Ladhams. But tbh I’d me more worried with a more balanced lineup that has Fantasia, Gray and Rozee in there.

    Not the right thread I know but I want to put the spotlight on Sparrow. He played a solid game … I wouldn’t trade him out. Let him get to 50 games and reassess.

    No change for mine, love everything Chunk and Jetta have given for and mean to this club, but unfortunately for them they aren’t best 22/23 anymore

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
