    Apparently Hunter isn't in the Doggies' side.

    Possibly practising his limbo dancing? Or driving practice/lessons? 

    Am I the only one that can't stand that bloke?

    Someone broke into our house on the weekend and stole our limbo sticks .

    With Rivers and Petty missing from the GF side Gus’s selections are Hunt and Smith to replace them and Max has gone with Hunt and Tomlinson. This is from their ‘selection segment’ on their podcast unless there’s a left field selection. 
    Pretty obvious it would be those 3, interesting to see who misses out. 

    I would say Max is more on the money with Tomlinson over Smith. Both played the entire pre season but you'd imagine they'd go with Tomlinson who has had more runs on the board and is probably more dependable than Smith.

    Hunt would need to dramatically improve his performance from the Carlton game if he's selected. However we need a medium sized defender to replace Rivers.

    Jordon would have to be some sort of chance given he's always the 22nd/23rd player in the mix?

    I just read Hibbo has been ruled out today, he hasn’t overcome some calf issue from a few weeks ago.

    I can not believe they are still going on about that song! It's one thing to get inside the oppositions' heads, it's another when they seem hellbent on keeping us in there. 

    I hope we put them to the sword on Wednesday.

    It's really just embarrassing for them that it's still coming up. I'm sure they've got a lot more to worry about than some song. FFS

    Thanks for the info.

    As long as our 'Generals' (May, Salem and Lever) are fully fit (they all missed one practice game) I'm pretty confident our back line won't miss a beat.  Bowey is still in.  Tomlinson is a strong addition and Smith/Hunt can be the role players.

    I just hope we don't put Gus down back like against the Carlton game.

    so that's 3 of our premiership back 6 missing in petty, rivers, and now hibberd

    it is amazing that a premiership team has never played together again across the course of the history of the vfl / afl competition


    Hibberd's calf not too bad apparently, confirmed will miss, but not too far off.

    Also interesting we did the captain's run at Port Melbourne.

     

    Edited by Lord Nev

    On AFL 360 Goodwin said the players won't be on the ground when the flag is unfurled as it doesn't fit into pre-game prep timelines.

    Is that typical?

    As he said it is for the fans so I'm happy.

    Possible Melbourne line up

    B: J.Smith, May, Lever

    HB: Salem, Tomlinson, Bowey

    C: Langdon, Petracca, Brayshaw

    HF: Neal-Bullen, McDonald, Pickett

    F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Spargo

    FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

    IC: Harmes, Hunt, Jackson, Sparrow

    SUB: Jordon

    EMERG: Weideman, Chandler, Dunstan

     

    Possible Casey line up

    B:  Buntine, Turner, D.Smith

    HB: Baker, White, Reid

    C: Zaharakis, Dunstan, Howes

    HF: Melksham, van Rooyen, Chandler

    F: Lonie, Weideman, M.Brown

    FOLL: Daw, Jordon, Munro

    IC: Laurie, Rosman, Woewodin, Bedford 

    EMERG: McVee, Moniz-Wakefield, Grey

     

    I think Turner maybe injured if so Buntine goes to full back, McVee to the back pocket. I'll be going to the practice match on Thursday so I will try and keep everyone up to date.

    Not really given unchanged linesup are rare during a season, let alone after an entire off season. We got close though.

    And being  nerd I looked at the last 50 years of VFL/AFL and the most common by a long way of changes from the Flag team to the Round 1 team the next year is 3.

    So we've now got our 3 identified.   I was rapt Hibberd was in the team once May went down in the PF.  Huge fan.

    This time hoping May/Lever and the rest stand up for the full game.

    A well thought out move.  Keeps players fresh avoiding long drive to Casey day befroe the game. (Langdon's not a big fan of the Fitzroy to Cranbourne trip)

    Easier media acces.

    Has anyone seen a running sheet with the times of the Flag unveiling and other parts of the before game activities?

    Haven't seen a program, per se but someone (on AFL 360 or OTC) said flag unfurling @ 6.35.  Goodwin (AFL 360) said players not on field.

    Then game proceedings as usual for a start time of 7.10 pm.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.

    • 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.
