    I’m tipping Bakes to play, we sorely need his pace and creativity, Jordan or Sparrows to be omitted, both are way to vanilla in my book.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Jordan omitted? Are you for real? You are joking.

    Blaming Hunt and Tomlinson on our two recent losses is akin to blaming you for the decline in quality of the written word. 

    Or to put it another way, it’s not THEY’RE fault

    At least Mitch Brown stayed in front of his bloke which is a standard Weideman hasn’t set for himself. Have some respect.

    The Match Cttee has shown consistency they will give players a few weeks to validate, or not, their selection. Why shouldn't Micth Brown have that chance. He did as much with less last week than Weid in the past and has good hands in marking contests which we lack at present.

    I agree with selection and your call rpfc for respect is timely on here.

    Great to see Hunt out been pathetic. How Ben Brown gets a game I do not know? Rewarding mediocrity Hopefully disco replaces Tommo but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

    Hunty has been very solid, playing in an unfamiliar role, for most of the season. Sure, he has lowered his colours (quite badly) over the last two weeks, but I would argue that the absence of May, an out of form Lever, and a banged-up Petty, have buggered up our team defensive structures to the point where he has been exposed one-on-one, on much taller and / or stronger opponents, on far too many occasions   This is clearly not his go.  
    On balance, I’m comfortable with his omission this week, but I think your use of the word ‘pathetic’ says more about your understanding of the game than it does about Hunty.

    Well done Disco and great to see a new player debuting on the big stage

    "Turner, who grew up in Albury, made the move to Melbourne last year, and now lives with Angus Brayshaw’s parents, alongside teammates Judd McVee and Taj Woewodin".

    I guess that means Jackson has been allowed to leave the nest.

    The Brayshaws' are wonderful a demon family (shame we can't get Andrew to join).  They have helped set so many young demon lads on their AFL path.

    Mr and Mrs Brayshaw deserve a medal.

    Thanks Paul. 

    I love debuts.  His selection puts a bit of gloss on what has been a very 'ordinary' week.

    I was thinking the same thing. You would have to think he was doubtful earlier in the week. Being a Monday game I have my fingers crossed.

    Not sure, but would think they'd give Petty up until team sheet o'clock to prove his fitness.

    Could be in for Tommo, could even be for Lever who doesn't look 100%.

    Interesting week for selection.

    Tommo named on bench. It will be Turner in for Tommo.

    So happy for Turner.

    I'm blown away in his growth ans development since his time with the Murray Bushrangers last year. I bumped into him at the local gym over the summer and was shocked to see how much puppy fat he'd lost and how incredibly fit he looked.

    He's a bit of a country lad who's good for team morale but also your typical hard working one who puts in when the work is required.

    All the best 'Disco'. Your family would be incredibly proud.

    Vanilla might not be to your taste, but replacing it with ginger can throw the balance way out.

    In other words, Jordon on a wing is safer than Baker because he plays his role correctly. Baker is yet to show he can do that.

    Good selection

    Would have preferred that we had debuted one or two new players in the Eagles/North weeks. Looking back I think that's where we started the slump we are now in. A bit of a "squad"mentality may have averted the unfortunate events of last weekend as well.

    Big game in the context of the season

    If Petty is out the spine of the reigning premiers would be

    Tomlinson, Turner, MBrown and a horribly out of form BBrown ðŸ˜¬.

    Still reckon we smash 'em!

    Unfortunately I missed last week's game but it looks to me that Max and Fritta are our two most dangerous forwards. Maybe it might be smart to play Max more forward and give Jackson a bit more time in the ruck. It would also mean that Moore would go to Max and then Howe to BB and then possibly a miss match on MB and Fritta. Just throwing stuff out there.

      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?
