    Lots of discussion about fwds and ruck but this week defence is how we will win or lose. Petty May on Hawk and Cameron with Lever loose. Gus intercepting when he can get off his man

    Assuming Gawn is back, I reckon he should sit in the hole. Cats can score very quickly

    Personally, I think Hibbo would be a better man for Cameron. Cameron is more of a running mobile player than a contested mark; Hibbo would destroy him.


    In: how to kick to forwards and better forward line movement

    Out:High and long bombs into the hot spot.

    Pickett fined $2k so won't need to worry about replacing him.

    I liked M Browns game. He was better playing a high HF type role. We need him to do that again and take one of Geelongs Tall defenders . I saw Kolodjashnij was out injured so they are down two of their key defensive stocks.

    Hopefully the weather remains dry so we can use Gawn more effectively in the F50. I wonder if they swing Henry back into D50 and bring in Ratagolea or Rohan (assuming they are fit). I think May goes to Hawk and Petty to Cameron. Hibberd is probably better suited to Tyson Stengle who is in hot form. 
     

    Gawn <> Bedford 

    LJ <> Weideman (if fit) 

    Tommo (medi-sub)

    Pickett won’t be dropped. He was better than Bedford anyway.

    Thought he may have been given a week, no way I would suggest he be dropped, our most important small forward 

    As mentioned, Mitch Brown's game was far superior to Weideman's. Weed goes out for Gawn.

    Bedford was disappointing but they might like his pace against Geelong.

    Mitch Brown can't and won't play the forward/ruck role. If Jackson doesn't come back in then Weid will absolutely stay in and Mitch will make way.

    Remember the original lineup before Jackson pulled out by any chance?

    They must need extra funds for Gill’s gold watch.

    If Jackson is out again then all options are open.

    Weed's ruck work and lack of physicality in the air was dismal. He can't be given another game after that.

    and they get suspended for intentionally running into his elbow.

    Well we need a forward/ruck if Jackson doesn't play, how did you see Mitch Brown's ruckwork exactly?

    Sorry mate, Weid stays if Jackson doesn't play.

    Spooky. Heading down to Kardinia two times in a row with us and them in the same ladder position.

    It'd be less spooky if the fixture was fairer and the home ground advantage wasn't permanently Geelongs..

    Mitch's ruckwork seemed far more competitive than Weeds. He at least nullified the contest.

    Sorry, that's rubbish.

    Weid had a higher hitout win percentage and at least had some to advantage whereas Brown had 0.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
