CHANGES: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide

Featured Replies

 

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.

IN: Brown, Lever
OUT: McDonald, Hunt

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. 

Face palms for anyone that suggests dropping Joel Smith

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. 

I know it was an ugly win but we all wake up tomorrow morning knowing we beat Essendon & that's a good start to the weekend

Struggling to think of an uglier win in recent years.

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

Kozzie needs to lift his output , I'd give him another game next week but has been missing for majority of them have the last 2 weeks

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.

This wasn’t even as ugly as Essendon last year

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
