Cannot be serious.

Thought both TMac and Weid were good and we won by 11 goals.

Ben can win back his spot just like everyone else.

    Weid out, Brown in.
     

    No  question. There was a moment during the last quarter where he was in spitting distance of a giant who had the ball. Weid just stood there for a couple of seconds before you actually saw the cog turn in his brain that he should try to impact the ball carrier. 
    McDonald would have smothered without even thinking, and that’s why he stays in the side.

    Weed did a pretty good job, though still dropped too many that he got to, but BBBB surely is a given.

    Otherwise absolutely no change (barring injury)

    I don’t recall him ever losing it based on his form. 
    His three finals last year speak volumes (and the rest of his career).
    His inclusion immediately makes us a better side. 
    If either of Tmac’s or Weid’s performance tonight was good enough to keep Brown out I must be watching a different game. 

    Brown will come back in just as Petty did this week.

    He very well might, and I won't be sad if he does.

    Just my opinion that after a win like that I wouldn't be making any 'automatic' changes.

    In, BBB. 

    Out, I really don't know. Probably Weed.

    We might need to keep an eye on Lever's fitness.

    IN: Sideshow Bob

    OUT: Weed

    Toss of the coin between Weed and Plugger Mac but the latter is SO CLOSE to 200 games and is no better / worse than the former at this stage

    Weed competed well tonight but he is in no way as dangerous as Ben Brown. 

    Exactly.  Huge match up problem for tiges.

    Goodwin has showed sentiment doesn't count. Brown is a class above weid and will be picked.

    Brown in. 

    Trac looked to be labouring tonight. I think those whispers are true. 

    Lever didn't look right by the end.

    Tomlinson, Dunstan. 

    It doesn't really matter. We'll keep winning whoever is in or out.

    It'll be Ben Brown for T Mac. 

    Pin this post. 

    Tmac hasn't fired a shot for too long now and Weed deserves another crack after tonight.

    • 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.
