So Harmes is effectively omitted? Can’t say I understand that. Or is he still injured?

A victim of circumstances is all. He’s unlucky, but you also can’t punish the players who got the job done so well last week.

    Great team....Only 2 missing from our premiership side. Melk n Hunt replacing TMac n Harmes.

    The problem being that we've tried, struggled and ultimately failed, to replace one of those  all year!

    Thought Weideman could hold his spot but Brownie in is ok and Weideman can have his jets cooled with three to go before the main stuff.Long weeks to go yet. Like that Melksham is getting regular times to get his spot and movement  cemented and will be harder at it this week too.

    No Adams really hurts the Pies. Their midfield is like the opposite Melbourne, heaps of runners with now no inside bulls

    Keeping mostly a winning side, will really make those trying to get in to go harder and make those that are there to do the same. 
    and they are rewarded for playing the rôle assigned to them, without worrying about the number of kicks they might get. 
     

    I like it……..winning each week

    Never lies, often misleads… 

    We play this game three times, we win twice - but the other time…

    Yep. good move to bring in Brown in place of Weideman. Essentially the same team and structure as last week and that worked well. Harmes is unlucky but a similar situation to last season with Hunt getting injured and not able to get his place back because of his replacement's performance.

    Strong team with a lot of flexibility in the personnel and structures. If it plays with the same pressure as last week will get the 4 points.

    Want it to be a comfortable win... 4 goals +

    If it is going to be wet then BBB in for the weed isn't going to make much difference. Our smaller forwards are going to have to play well.

    Im hearing that the rest has really given him a boost - "haven't felt this good for 14 or 15 weeks". Hopefully that translates with some hard leading and a few snags. He is due for a halfa dozen isnt he?

    Don’t mind the one change as mentioned earlier reward for top effort, it will force Harmes and Bowey to work harder and stay sharp to force their way back in and likewise keep Melk and Hunt on their toes. Meanwhile van Rooyen and Thommo can keep playing great footy and be ready if needed.!!!

    I don't think BBB will ever be due half a dozen at this stage in his career. His best is behind him and you'd have to be playing a very injury depleted backline to see him get on an unencumbered lead that many times. If he's due for 3 or 4 then he will be the perfect piece we've been missing.

    So you're saying every $1.35 chance wins? Given the bookie's profit margin $1.35 is actually $1.40+ true odds. If every $1.40 chance won we'd all be millionaires.

    I think one thing, not that it's been missed, but hasn't been spoken of a lot is that Kozzie is back in goal kicking form. !1 goals in 3 weeks isn't it?

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
