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.

    This wasn’t even as ugly as Essendon last year

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
