    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

    Or to put it another way, THEY’RE not solely responsible for that.

    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.

    "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 😬.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
