Out.  Me.

I'll be in nz and watch at 9.30pm is not going to happen

What’s May diagnosis? If they ruled concussion then he missed next week under concussion protocols.

    Van Rooyen time perhaps?

    Tmac to help in the backline and Weidman out, never to be seen again.

    BBB was worst on ground. While he has credits and is obviously important, that was way below par. Mitch Brown should be under consideration.

    Bit hard if all we do is bomb it in to packs for any player to mark we do not have a park mark player time to change it up.

    Let’s hope so. We are a significantly worse side without him. 
     

    May will miss with concussion. At least Buddy got suspended.

    It will be very interesting to see who comes in and out. We have a lot of sore, tired players (Gawn, Petty, May, Petracca and others) and we also had a heap of our very reliable players playing poorly. But you can't drop half your team. 

    Surely Dunstan, Melksham and Weid go straight to Casey and used only if desperate. Rivers needs a break, he has been average at best this year and defensively our weakest link.

    Thinking that Hibbered, Salem, May, Langdon, Harmes, TMac and Smith are all out shows how

    In:  Lingers, TMac, Tomo, Harmes, Salem (how far away is he?)

    Out: Milkshake, Weid, May, 2 of Hunt/Rivers/Dunstan

    Edited by JJ Haydos

    Trent Rivers not half the player he was last year, needs a spell at Casey. 
    Melksham, 5 touches on a wing should never be seen at AFL level again.

    Milkshake and Weid out, should not play ones again. May will miss with concussion. Petty may be doubtful, but he did play on after his injury (looked like an ankle). Dunstan is depth at best. Hopefully Langers and Harmes come in, TMac in but does he go back? If so, is it time for Van Rooyen if he hits the scoreboard at Casey tomorrow? Would like to see Hibbo in,but maybe another game at VFL, get him in for Collingwood to smack Ginnivan into the universe. 

    Not Carey but van Rooyen. Brown's had it and Weideman never had it. His combination with McDonald will go a long way to us winning the flag again. Lets face it we have a great backline a great midfield but an average forward line. van Rooyen is our only hope in rectifying it.

    Tomlinson for May is a certainty.

    After that depends on Petty, Petracca and Lever's fitness, and the fitness of those who we desperately need back.

    Melksham, Dunstan and Weideman should all be dropped. Who replaces them is TBD but hopefully Langdon, Harmes and McDonald are fit.

    If Langdon's not ready we can't go into the game with Spargo the starting wing.

    I'm prepared to give Brown one more game, in the hope that the delivery is better than it was tonight. And because Weideman was just as bad but with fewer credits in the bank.

    BBB has learnt the Melbourne way ( or whoever we are called at present) running up and down the field  maybe he could stay forward a bit more and use those big levers to snag marks and leave Lever to intercept down back.

    Langdon, Harmes, McDonald come in. Tomlinson replaces May. Weideman and Melksham should never play a game again, that leaves one more out sorry Bedford it's back to the sub again. van Rooyen or Mitch.Brown should seriously be considered in replacing Ben.Brown.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
