Trac was sick, so I doubt he will be an issue. 

We have lost 1 game for the year and we had an off day.  Your forward line comment is ludicrous. 

 

Ludicrous: Idiotic or unthinkable, often to the point of being funny.

Sums up most of this thread really D11.

(Reminder to self . . . stop reading the madness on 'Land and write your uni assignment.)

    We have some very average supporters.   When we had May and Petty on we were 5 goals up.  Both down for the 2nd half and Trac sick and people are jumping up and down like we are 1-10.  Give me strength!!

    Whilst it's not all as simple as this, there's no doubt that there are a lot of over-reactions on here, which I suppose is what happens after 17 straight wins.

    There's also a lack of appreciation for how good Fremantle is. We cannot afford to be that far off our best (as to personnel and as to form) against a side of Fremantle's quality.

    Out: May, Melks, Weid, Dunstan, and likely Petty

    In: Tomilson, Tmac, Langdon, Harmes, and perhaps Salem and Hibberd

    Not sure who covers Petty - we need Tmac forward.  Could Daw fill a spot?

    There's some serious inclusions coming in the next couple of weeks! Just have to get past this week.

    Couldn't do any worse the BB yesterday could he? He's lively and moves well.

    Not looking good.  Injuries are taking a toll across the club - Only 11 melbourne players available for Casey today.   Only D.Smith and Thomlinson had stats that would in any way suggest a promotion.

    Tough next 3 weeks with lots playing sore and until some come back from injuries.  Great the bye is coming up.

    Crafty Mitch Brown who can range around and take marks and kick goals - how’s he been playing 

    Played well at Casey today

    I don't think we will see Petty until after the bye. Hope I am wrong. Harmes won't be ready this week either. Hopefully Langdon and TMAC will be plus also Tomlinson. The who goes out is simple. Melk, Weed, Dunstan, BBB and unfortunately May and Petty. Obviously some of them will remain in side. I would consider Chandler as well.

    Brown, he’s cooked 

    Melksham , he’s done

    Petracca, soft front runner

    Dunstan , not hard enough

    In

    Tomlinson

    Baker

    Rosman

    Laurie

     

     

    Only a Melbourne supporter could be so self-indulgent with their self loathing. 

    In this blokes mind - we never won the flag.

    If fit TMac, Langdon and Tomlinson in Out - leave that to the coaches.

    It was a shame that  Majak and van Rooyen were ill today and non of the youngsters really stood up.

    If May and Petty are both out, we'll have to break the glass and either play Tom Mac as a permanent KPD, or take a chance on Turner. Neither are ideal solutions, but what can you do?

    I don't think we'll make any more changes down back than that, unless forced. Consistency counts for something. Equally, understand the concerns re Rivers especially.

    Anyone else think Langdon has broken ribs and we won’t see him until after the bye? I’m not trying to be masochistic, I just think it’s odd the club just calls it ‘ribs’. Did I miss info about this somewhere?

    I’m no medical expert, but does this mean they aren’t broken? Just curious 👍

    We need Langdon back to his best so it may take a couple of weeks to get him right. I would rather bring Baker in for Melksham as he has a bit of pace and unfortunately Jake is to slow for a winger and we need Spargs in the pressure forward role with Kozzie and ANB. Also Alex take your shots we need our forwards kicking goals not wasting opportunities. You are good enough just do it.!!!!

    Me either, but I have had bruised ribs which were quite painful, I don't know that he'd be training so early with broken ribs.

    I’ve had both and pain level was the same. I played the following week (no idea how) with broken thanks to a flattened out shin guard strapped tightly to my body, but it was awfully uncomfortable. No good for a bloke that runs as much as Langdon.

    Unfortunatly I now have a calcified indented rib section on one side from a deliberate knee.

    Praying he’s back next week…he is crucial.

    Out: May, Melksham

    In: Tomlinson, Langdon

    One of Brown or Weideman will most likely come out for McDonald pending the fitness of Petty. If Petty misses due to injury, McDonald to play back and Brown and Weideman get a reprieve.

    This will be closest to the pin imo. We havent made wholesale sweeping changes for 18 months. Goodwin has repeatedly said he values continuity and id be shocked if we are dumping 5 or 6 players as some here are suggesting after the first loss in 17 games.  Its just not the Goodwin way.

    But let's assume all of Langdon, McDonald and Harmes are fit. 

    Tomlinson replaces May but those three all come straight back, which would be four changes, all of which we should be 100% making.

    Turner played very well today, particularly in the first half. The pro Frankston commentators were pouring praise on him!

    T-Mac could go back for Petty if Mitch Brown comes in (if Petty is inj).

    Daw was crook and a late out today so very much doubt he will be in the mix.

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • 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?
