    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
