Cox has destroyed us twice against us in 2018 (5 goals!) and this year's QBDAY.

Quite happy for him to be omitted. 

Bit of squaring up to do with this [censored]$%

    No change. Best team defence for the year.

    Weideman featured pretty well in goal assists for us against Freo and I also think Melksham will be a big factor. Adds that blend of toughness on the forward line with his best mate in the BP as a present for gin in a pan.

    They might have some big INS... grundy and Howe.

    Howe played this week ? 


    Brown and Harmes both tests.  Hopefully Brown is not selected unless his knee is right and he can jump

    How? He had 1 kick for a goal. His throw (handball) would be classified as a goal assist, but that's where it ends.

    Isn’t there a mandatory 12-day break for concussion? How can Harmesy be a consideration?

    If Ben Brown is fit he plays but van Rooyen must be the next in line. Can't play Weid after a one possession game.

     

    B: Lever, May, Hibberd

    HB: Hunt, Petty, Salem

    C: Langdon, Brayshaw, Jordon

    HF: Petracca, Gawn, Neal-Bullen

    F: Fritsch, B.Brown, Pickett

    FOLL: Jackson, Oliver, Viney

    IC: Rivers, Sparrow, Spargo, Melksham

    SUB: Harmes 

    I will be surprised if Brown plays and I expect Sam to play. Put simply there is no one else. JVR played well but against the worst team in comp.

    Do you reckon he's going to get to play this week because I do.

    I don't know if Harmes should come straight back in to the team but I do know that he's a proven finals player and if we do call on him he will give us his everything and we have nothing to worry about.

    Is Harmes walk up best 22 anymore? I actually rated the balance of the team more with Hunt breaking some lines off HBF and Gus in the middle. Looked quite potent.

    I agree totally. Although Hunt can be a little fumbly at times, his presence in the side appeared to give us that extra dimension and potency. Having said that, the side just generally played better so everyone looks a bit more potent.

    Aside from the septic-tank having a day out, how did Collingwood get us last time? 
     

    My anger and IPA-consumption conveniently blocked the game from memory.

    They swooped on our undermanned defence and the fact Gawn was on one leg. It’s actually as simple as that. We were trying to plug holes. We couldn’t. We were in control of the game until half-time. After that, they slowly pegged it back, due largely to Cox having no opponent and doing it at both ends of the ground. He won’t be afforded that luxury this time.

    Out Neil Bullen for  Harmes if BBB available Weid also I would liker to find a position For Bowey if Melk slips he is the one we must keep Angus in the Centre and instruct Sparrow to use the Ball Better he is a very good Player.

    I also observed that the Yank did Not shake Maxes hand after the LAST Game that should be some motivation to seek revenge

    May out, Petty on and off injured, Max injured should've been subbed out but Turner was concussed so was subbed out instead. We kept bombing it straight down the throats of Cox and Moore.

    Hope so! Big for us! 

    They'll be 2 men down. 

    Grundy back in would really upset the balance they have right now!

    We here's hoping.

    BB (even if not 100%) is better than Weid. BB only needs 2 possessions to make a difference. No other changes.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
