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.

100% agree

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. 


Easy. 
 

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.

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,

Spargo and Weideman will stay

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.

Forgot the Saints playing in Cairns. That humidity will be quite taxing.

Took some tonight.

 

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.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
