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

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
