Anyone available comes in in the backline. Hopefully Lever, desperately need to get things a bit more organised down there, but suspect it'll be another week from comments on the footy show. Thursday will come around quickly.

    Brown won't come in, he's only out of quarantine on Thursday, and will have had a week without full training. Could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

    I'll drop him off an exercise bike if that's what it takes

    Bring in the other Brown then.

    McDonald has not played a decent game since the Port Adelaide game last year.

    Can't continue to carry a bloke that's had zero influence.

    So? He can train at home. He can fly in the morning for a night game. 
    Zero chance he won’t play if he’s allowed to. Ben Brown after a week of iso is still better than Tom McDonald.

     

    In: Brown 

    Out: McDonald

    Goody won't make too many changes

    Lever for Hunt and if BB ready to play he should come in for TMac. Can't drop the Weid after 4 goals

    Greatest change we need for next week is an attitude adjustment.

    Apologies to Clarry and Gus, tremendous games.

    If Ben Brown not available, both TMac and and Weid stay in. TMac has had a really poor year so far and needs time at Casey, but he stays in until Ben Brown available. Mitch Brown will get seriously exposed at AFl level - he is injury cover now.

    AS I am typing, just now in the media conference, Goody just said both Brown and Lever are likely available for next week. 

    I actually think one of Spargo or Kozzie need a break - both have been ineffective for most of this year, but unlikely to happen.

    OUT: TMac, Smith

    IN: B Brown, Lever

    Brown straight back. Weid holds TMac out. TMac either goes back or dropped. 

    Lever back. Hunt out I think. 

    We can’t get the four missing defenders back quick enough.

    Thought Smith was solid tonight. He won’t miss next week.

    He won’t be dropped and nor should he but he wasn’t great tonight and our biggest problem right now is mistakes in our back half, which he, Hunt and Tomlinson are largely responsible for.

    We played a tough game in really hard conditions 6 days ago and have most of our backline out, the players deserve a bit more credit 

    We won by 5 goals

    He had a double pressure smother that then went down the other end when the game was there to be grabbed. 

    He is not missing, mate, you’re not looking at the right things.

    Goodwin just said Lever and Brown to play next week.

    IF that is the case BBB for TMCD and Lever for Hunt or maybe Tommo?  Smith?  

    It will be Brown for TMac and Lever for Tomlinson. Kozzie must be on thin ice if Bedford has a quality game tomorrow but playing Thursday night will limit the likelihood of changes for those who play today. For those saying Brown wont play that would go against Goody saying he would be available in the press conference.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      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.
