Spargo to the ruck, Trac to ff, Gus into the middle, Bedford and Kossie in the f50, Steven May to hf.

I heard a whisper that Majak is injured, upper body and likely to be out for a month. Cannot divulge source, as they are in the playing group and will. break a confidence. Surprised MFC haven't put him on the injury report.

It appears any one tall on our list is I injured

If Tommo is not named, then he needs to be sub. If we have learnt anything the past 3 weeks is that you cannot cover talls with crumbing forwards. 

re Tommo - as a medi sub he would be far more versatile than a small crumbed.  Can play KPP defender, wing releasing whoever is on the non Langdon wing as a small forward.

Some have suggested him as a KPP forward - does he have any history there?  It is a big ask just because he is big to play at CHF or FF without any experience / recency there.

Gotta be Daw with chop out from Weeds surely??

Daw hasn't played senior footy in years and can't play fwd. No chance

Jackson will be 1st ruck, and drift back to help our defence against their giants.  Weed will be 2nd ruck and rest fwd

Very sad for Daw to be injured at this time - he was the backup should Max go down: he has and he is not available.

His [Bowey] last few weeks have been pretty average. I'd prefer Rivers ATS but if Bowey keeps his spot I'd like to see Rivers as the sub I don't think we can have both of them in the team.

How about Rivers and Bowey sharing the non Salem HBF and releasing Brayshaw to wing, or even midfield?

What about giving Oskar Baker a run on the wing? It is now or never for his position on the list and he has some real upside as a winger. I also want to see Bedford and May in. Maybe Weideman should get a run too. Van Rooyen has to get some consideration for a debut soon!

Apart from no Max  it's a pretty good team.

In theory anyway 

Maybe forward line around BBB and Fritta might be less confused.

They just need Kossi to do more than run around fast  ,Trac to amp up and kick straight along with a good showing from Nibbler 

Agree

We are still going to field a good team on paper 

Any chance we organise to play the game on Paper 📃 ?

Makes no sense. Is the Lion's MCG record so bad?

iirc they haven't won a game there since 2014.  Not sure how many games played there in that time.

Nonetheless they will be desperate for a win on the GF turf.  Catch us while a wounded prey, so to speak.  Us and the tigers later this year are their only chances of an MCG win before finals.

Ridiculous odds given the form line 


I'm warming to the idea of playing Trac as a permanent forward against the Lions and replacing him in the guts with Gus. We have become very predictable and teams are feeding off that 

Gus is in form and Trac has been struggling to impact on the ball

We desperately need some strong bodies in the F50 and that won't be coming from BB or Weid assuming he is gifted another opportunity

Gus whilst playing great footy at HBF can be covered if we have May, Petty, Lever, Salem. Pig and any of (Bowey, Rivers, Hunt)

Winner, winner, Pickett's dinner.

I have been searching through injury reports and cannot find any useful info on Majak Daw apart from a number of posters asserting that he is injured. If this is the case what is the injury and how long is he unavailable?? Given that he is our backup ruckman that should provide coverage for Max / LJ I am a bit annoyed that the club have not provided some explanation for his unavailability. The info provided on DL is confusing at best and suggestions that Majak is not up to playing AFL makes me wonder where the truth lies.

KC can you provide any info to support or refute Majak’s fitness and wellbeing as we could really use his Presence over the next 4-6 weeks.

Baker has poor disposal doubt he'll be on the list next year.

Ours or rhe lions?

We have lost our last three.

But the lions have lost 2 of their last 4 and tbe the two wins were far from impressive.

They were 5 goals down early against the giants and only the giants woeful defence saved them. 

And they were woeful in their win against the saints. The saints were had two players concussed by half time (or soon after) and by the last quarter were down to one player on the bench.

It's been a long time since I have seen such a low standard game between two good teams.

Hmm,  I just put some money on the Gorillas. (Considerably less than a gorilla though.)

Are you backing us at those odds ?

As a general rule, I don't back the dees. Except to win grand finals. And I generally back the line not the win

If i were setting a market, I'd probably have us a touch longer, but still favourites.

The pool would be small at this point in time and the odds for a dees win will almost certainly drift a touch before game day and be close to even money.

So, by my reckoning the current odds are a touch unders, so I wouldn't take those odds.

But plenty of people have obviously, hence the price.

Fair assessment - I struggle to see us kicking a big enough score to win based on exposed form in the last 3 weeks - their forward line is pretty capable and hard to shut down - ours is almost completely dysfunctional atm - personally I'd like to see us mix things up a bit and try Trac forward and Gus on the ball - if we go into the game with the predictable BB at FF and Weid at CHF its hard to see us creating a winning score IMO

Speaking of punting, this is an excellent time of year to make some money.

Look for top 4 teams against teams just outside or inside the 8 and back the team pushing for a final 8 spot at the line.

It doesn't quite fit the profile, but I'll be loading up on the bombers at tbe 24.5 line against the saints tonight - a game I predict will be low scoring scrap.

Unfortunately my punting has not been kind to me recently and I find myself with virtually a zero balance - this coupled with a fierce determination to not make another deposit will see me refrain - but good luck 😀

HMMM yes most recently last week - I sat through the same fixture at the SCG last year and thought there's no way that can happen again - alas I was wrong - very wrong 😬

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
