BBB for Weidman/TMac. 9 day break to a home game so can't imagine anyone will need a rest

    Brown returns for one of Weid or TMac. Do the FD go with Weid's brownie points from last week, or TMac's brownie points from ages back?

    Smith deserves to come back too. Not sure who he comes in for. Hunt wasn't great so that's an option. Potentially Tomlinson depending on GWS" forward line?

    BBB for anyone above 6ft in the forward line not named Fritsch

    Petty in for anyone not named May or Lever

    I can see Petty playing 2 games at Casey. He's been out for a fair while.

    Happy to leave the Weid/TMac choice to the experts. It isn't easy to say the least

    The weid and tmac both poor but I’d like to see how the weid goes playing alongside BB so tmac omitted for mine.

    Hunt was ok I thought. smith for thommo.

    Weid or TMac for Brown. Toss a coin. 

    Smith won't play as per the Goodwin "ain't broke don't fix it" rule.

    But there's also the "we love Smith" rule. Which rule takes priority?

    Tmac worked harder than weed.

    And weed dies himself no favours with his lack of second efforts

    Did you hear Max's comment about May having a hard time getting Smith to stand in the right spots the last few weeks? I chuckled.

    I didn't, can you elaborate?

    I thought that our zone and positioning was fantastic tonight and we really set the trap well. No matter what they did, where they tried to shift, we had it covered.

    I felt that Lever probably had something to do with that. He positions well, directs players around him and knows how to read and drop into space. During the game I felt he was having an impact on our whole ground defence compared to last week..but it's hard to tell on the TV where don't get full views of the set up.

    I'd be tempted to give Kozzie a week or 2 to find some form in the 2's. 

    OUT: Weid, Pickett 

    In: Brown, Chandler

    Kozzie will never be dropped as long as he's doing the team/defensive things; especially if the next best is Kade Chandler, and I don't mean that unkindly. For the type of player Kozzie is, you just wait for the form to come, because it will.

    I wanted to reach through the tv and slap the big Neanderthal for once again throwing his team mates under the bus in public. By far his worst trait as captain.

    Kozzie had a poor night but kept going at second and third efforts. There was one play in particular where about 4-5 times it looked like Port would come away with it but he just kept going and going. 

    Casey won’t give him any additional confidence or anything, but a game like GC come come from nowhere. 

    I would like to see Sam given time with BBB but I think TMac still has runs on the board, plus he played a better game. I expect it’ll be as simple as BBB for Weid, though Hunt must be of shaky ground.

    That interpretation of it did go through my head too, but at the end of the day, we don't know the real dynamics of the relationship with Max and Joel, or any of the players. It could be hurtful or they could all just laugh about it - who knows.

    TMac just understands the game better than Weid. How to position himself where to lead etc.

    Especially in relationship to Brown. Not so much with Weids, which is where some of the problems are coming from.

    The May, Tomlinson, Lever trio seems to work better than going smaller with Smith, but I just feel Tomlinson is a long way off his best and Smith has a chance right now to finally string games.

    We need depth in case Hunt or Rivers go down or if Gus has to go to the midfield. 
     

    Assuming he’s healthy and gets through some trainings I’d get Smith back in

    That was it really. Started with a comment of May having missed Lever, then that. He said it with a smirk on his face - I think it was just dry Max humour laced with a tinge of truth.

    That's all I was looking for really: full on joke, dead serious, or wry mirth. Thanks.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
