Petty and Oliver are automatic inclusions.

Bedford and Tomlinson (assuming Lever is fit) out, albeit Tomlinson very stiff after a close to flawless game.

We could see Brown (knee) miss and Weideman replace him.

Tactically I would like to see Jackson run on the ball with Bontempelli for some parts of the game.

The key issues in our game at the moment are the down form of Salem, Gawn and May.

I would go for Hunt or Tomlinson as the sub.

That would be similar to Blitz-Ar@e running with Cripps.

Would Jackson have the aerobic capacity post his recent injury? Blicavs is an aerobic beast. We have to back our mids to beat their mids.

I think Jackson covers the ground very well but you are right in saying that he isn't Blicavs level in endurance. That said, I have wanted us to put Jackson in the midfield all year because he has the size, hands and explosiveness to be a weapon inside.

I also think we need to experiment with the Cats in mind and would say that Blicavs has been a revelation due to his size and discipline more than just because of his running ability.

    Seems likely:

    - Petty in Tomlinson out unless Lever doesn’t come up.

    - Oliver in for one of Bedford or Melksham. Bedford for me as he has done very little last two games.

    possibilities:

    - Weid or JVR in for Melksham

    Medi-sub one of Tomlinson, Hunt, Bedford

    Handy for Demons Caleb Daniel is out - he with Bont have hurt us in the past!

    Melksham stays in, really toughens up our forward line. Bring in Weideman, he does as well. Give Jackson a spell, or Max.

    No NO NYET JUST OLD FASHIONED NARR

    I assuming Lever won't get up. cant risk his shoulder at this stage

    IN Clarry, Petty

    Out Melksham, Lever

    Throw Petty fwd

    I know putting Petty fwd is a risk and it is late in the season but we need to take a risk. Brown is on his own and Weed/M Brown are not up to it. BB is also a little injured and we need a big body up there

    If Petty comes in for Lever he probably won’t be thrown forward. We’d be too light on for tall backs, especially with Naughton, Bruce and English down there. If Lever is good to go then Petty and Clarry could come in for Melksham and Bedford with Petty to play forward, Clarry to the middle and Sparrow back to more HF.

    will wait and see who is fit however to beat the Doggies we MUST improve our field kicking.  Even last week against Port some of our kickig was junior material.

    • 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.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
