Pretty much as expected for a ‘squad’. 
Presumably, all those named will travel to Perth.

    That squad is just about a strong as you are going to get week to week in the H&A season. Salem to come back in to the back 50 team when fit and in form and that is about the only thing we need to top up this team.

    Harmes, Jackson, Jordon and Pickett on the IC.

    Presumably Bedford out so he can actually play a match, albeit in the VFL. Otherwise, presumably no change and Chandler and Mitch Brown being rewarded for decent performances in the VFL and being take across as insurance. Interesting that Daw isn't an emergency, either Max is a certainty or Daw is injured (though not listed anywhere).

    No change,   but I would love for milkshake to get to 200 games

    Tomlinson on the extended bench presumably as cover for Lever who some observers last week thought was suffering from something more severe than a corky.

    The VFL has a bye next week, so giving Bedford a game at Casey makes sense. 

    Something I do not understand with the fixtures AFL/VFL.

    This week we play on Sunday over in the West and Casey plays the same day against North in Melbourne. we will need to take 4 players over as emergency reserves so they will not be able to get a run at Casey.

    Next week we play North in the AFL and both Casey and North VFL teams have a bye... am I missing something?

    The emergencies that travel across to Perth will therefore miss two week of matches.

    Please tell me that somewhere this makes sense. Have I read it wrong?

    Seems like the timing of the Casey game and the following bye is a factor for players like Bedford, Weideman and Laurie with the aim to get a full game in prior to the bye. Hopefully Weideman puts his best foot forward without Brown in the team to keep pressure on McDonald. 

    As pointed out, the emergencies in this game are likely to miss two weeks of footy unless they get elevated to the seniors.

    Good call giving Weed some game continuity

    WC team is not as bad as people are saying - around 14 first 22 players are there.

    West Coast ins and outs are confusing. Who are these people?

    Their spine of Barrass, McGovern, Kelly, Darling, Kennedy is impressive on paper. They're not missing many from their best 22. NicNat, Yeo, Shuey, Rioli, Allen and Cripps are the only ones that come to mind.

    As Goody says, you need to respect the opposition. It wasn't long ago that opposition supporters would have been mocking our line-up.

    Finally Bedford gets dropped. Sick of this guy getting 0 touches a game week after week without consequences.

    I feel sorry for Declan Mountford, whoever that is. Imagine getting dropped from West Coast right now.

    The way the Eagles have played they haven’t earned much respect this season: we really should be flogging this very weak looking line up

    I thought I saw some information that Hurn was being rested this week, but I see he's been named.

    Yep...His turn to rest in the back pocket......

    Agree.

    Tomlinson a late in for lever, Melks the sub.  Not sure why Mitch Brown is in the squad.

    On paper West Coast still have some really good players. I know they are all mostly past it, but gees they shouldn’t be so bad.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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?
