In: Neal-Bullen, Pickett, Petty, Jackson, Sparrow, Goodwin

Out: Melksham, Bedford, Smith, Weideman, Dunstan, Yze

Edit: that said, no doubt there’ll be more COVID during the week. Happy for any of the above “outs” to go around again depending on who’s out. I thought they all contributed really well.

    Depends on who has recovered in time to do some training.

    I would drop TMc for selfishness. Pinched Harmes goal and burnt a bunch of players in good positions to chance a long range goal.  Missed.

    I’ll give him benefit of the doubt on the mark: I thought it was just him losing track of his own location and needing to make a split second decision with the ball about to land on him. It was definitely clumsy and didn’t look good but I don’t think it was an intentional goal steal.

    I agree the long range shot was poor though.

    Bedford would be very stiff to miss out but probably will

    I’d keep him in tbh. 2 clutch goals needs to be rewarded. Kozzy hasn’t had a great year so make him work harder to earn his spot back.

    I'd have Spargo out before Bedford based on today's game

    Not a  knock on Sprago, but Bedford looks good. Has speed and skill

    Bedford + Kozzi hunting in the forward line?   I like it!

    The great unknown. Hopefully all 5 are ok and it was a mild case.

    Bedford will be unlucky to lose his spot but Kossie is more important. Milkshake Dunstan and Chandler will drop back down Smith looks injured and I guess one of Tmac or Weid. Of course we might have more cases during the week.

    I'd keep Bedford to start. Petty is coming back for Smith obviously with his injury. Neal Bullen for Melksham & LJ back for someone. 

    The advantage is McDonald can go back when we need him to. Like in the final quarter where he did ok.

    outs. Spargo Dunstan Smith Melksham Weideman 

    ins. The Covid 5.  Sparrow Anb Petty Jackson Pickett 

    Bedford stays in.  Offers more than Spargo based on todays game.  Bedford and Pickett would be a dangerous combo imv and should be given a few games together.

    feel sorry for Bedford though.

    Well we will have one forced change at least with Smith. Let’s hope Petty is right to go. 
     

    In: Petty, ANB, Jackson, Sparrow 

    Out: Smith, Dunstan, Tmac, Melksham

    Really torn on Bedford. He played so well. Hard to drop him for Kosi but hard to leave Kosi out.

    Weid v T Mc remains a ???

    Hard to judge today because Sam rucked a fair bit and Tom went down back late.

    Still think if Tom can play just ok footy he’s the right choice because we’re just so top heavy with Weid and Brown.

    my reasoning was that dribble goal Sw missed, Tmac would have nailed it,

    TMac kicked 2 and was critical to one each from Bedford and Brown

    Who chooses Weid over McDonald tonight? Really. McDonald is more aggressive and smart and competes in the air.  Weid hasn’t taken his chances and hasn’t taken a contested mark in weeks.
    Jackson back in and Weid out.  Just my opinion.

    As weird as this sounds the COVID protocols could be a blessing in disguise as it gives players rest which will come in handy come finals time.

    Tmac has more strings to his bow than Weed.

    Weed took a good mark tonight and kicked a goal but doesn't do to much else unfortunately.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
