Colvin, Magee and petrevski to make way for 

Gay, Lampard n sherriff 

 

Covid paranoia will make the changes for next week. And why would you drop Fitzsimons ?

Fitzsimons has earned another run IMO. Got to reward that.

Feels like the 'protocols' five are walk-up starts though.

Petrevski, Magee and Parry in the mix to miss. Anyone remotely in need of a refresh should get that, though unlikely at this early stage.

Depth is the key this season - early season game time could prove vital for some of the lesser lights to jump in later...but how far can this be pushed without sacrificing team synergy and the form of the big guns?

Agree with the additions but Fitzsimon and Petrevski unlucky to miss out. Very strong squad this year.  

Checked out the training gallery, thinking I might get some insight into whether any of last week's five have served their Covid protocol time already. But no, only players from last week's team included.

However, great to see Purcell up and running. A month away by my count, fingers crossed for no setbacks.

She's unlucky but who would be the 5 you would drop for those 5 regulars.

 

Injury update - Mick gives the timeline of last round's Covid impact. Gay, Lampard and Sherriff were all ruled out just 24 hours before the game, so a great effort to adjust quickly. As we all understand with Covid, seems like some feeling the effects more/longer than others.

The 3 in would be Gay, Heath and Scott. Out would probably be Brown, Petrevski and McGee.

Excellent ins. Unfortunate for Lily. 

Parry needs to raise her game. Contributed little thus far

The saints have dropped Greisner. She was the reason we lost to them 2 years ago so good for us she isn't playing. That said she was very off the pace against the pies last week.

Aside from Mithen it’s a strong line up we will put out. 
The two ex Demons playing for the Saints - Cat Phillips and Bianca Jakobsson - are going to have their hands full. 
It should be a regulation win for Melbourne over an undermanned Saints outfit

Then off to Adelaide to play the undefeated Crows. That’ll be big


Madi Gay must have a decent cold ? It is a pity she is not back in.

Besides Mithen and Gay it's a full strength side should win this game comfortably.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
