Also tempting to bring the riv back, take sparrow out and slot Gus at HF. We are desperate for classy kicking forward of centre.

McDonald is done for the year

    If TMac is really done for the season then bring in Weid and play him for at least the next 6 games.  He's been better than BBB, and offered more than M.Brown, but time to see if he will really make it and not change him in and out all the time.

    Ins: May, Rivers, Weid

    Outs: Petty ( rest), BB, Hunt

    We May have to look at blooding a couple of the kids.

    I like all 3. We have to play Dogga or Max in f50 all game. Daw can chop out #1 ruck until Bbb finds some form.

    M Brown miles better than Weid

    Tommo a better option than Petty in sticky tape

    Watched the VFL today and only Rivers Baker and Weid played well enough to get a call up.

    I said last week that Sparrow had a poor game and wouldn't get dropped but tonight he was as bad as I've see him play.

    I'd drop him personally. 

    Dropping Ben Brown is the easy option but there is no way bringing in Sam Weideman improves us at all. If anything it makes us worse because he's he's not an AFL standard player time and time again.

    I have no idea what the changes will like, but I can easily reel off 5 names I would drop straight away.

    People are either entrenched in their anti-Weid glasses or didn't go to the game if they honestly think Ben Brown should stay in ahead of him after tonight.

    Agreed, Max is undoubtedly the better forward, but unfortunately he is also about three times better than Jackson in the centre. I'd probably play Jackson forward unless Daw is a complete liability in the ruck. We need two Gawns.

    Brown has about 100 good games up on Weideman. Even when out of form Brown still takes away the best defender. He is that much better than Weideman ever has or ever will be. 
    Having said that, Mitch Brown is a bad bandaid and we need to bring Weideman in and let him play the year out with BB because there are no other options.

    Sparrow is Weid 2.0

    A good finals series but ultimately not AFL standard

    Brown was shi te

    But Weide was shi te last week, and somehow managed plenty of lead up possession in the Casey game... ??

    Honestly,  I cgaf if it was BBB or Weid next week, but M Brown and Fritta provided the options tonight

    Ben Brown has been poor nearly all year. Take off the ginger goggles.

    History of good games means absolutely nothing.

    Mitch Brown did nothing tonight mate, and for a bloke with 'fresh legs' he was as stationary as anyone in the forward line.

    When was the last time Weideman wasn’t poor playing senior footy? 2018? 
    Weideman commands 0 respect from the opposition. You drop BB and suddenly Fritta has to play on a FB twice his height.

    How did McDonald go from being selected to out for the season? What’s the source on his injury?

    Well. I’m not panicking as much as you all. That was a 50/50 game just like the swannies game last year. A few umpiring decisions change and so does the result. 
     

    We are 10-2 and have a lot of improving to come. 
     

    In: the best defender in the comp, a Salem and Harmes with a game under their belt  

    Out: poor old Tomo

    We will beat the Pies by our usual 2-3 goals. Hope you lot turn up to the game.

    Probably when he kicked 3 against the Tigers in round 6, or maybe when he kicked 4 in round 3...

    Here's a brief comparison for this year of that 'historically good' Brown vs the 'disrespected' Weid.

    GOALS
    Brown 1.7 Weid 1.5

    MARKS
    Brown 3.2 Weid 3.2

    TACKLES
    Brown 0.6 Weid 1.2

    DISPOSALS
    Brown 8.1 Weid 8.2

    CONTESTED MARKS
    Brown 0.8 Weid 1.3

    It's bizarre how people stick to their perceptions now matter the factual evidence. Brown is badly out of form.

    Is there any veracity to this claim beyond a rumour from the gameday thread alleging TMac told some random spectator at the G that he was having surgery and would be out for the year? Seems an unusually detailed set of information to relay... 🤔

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
