    Posters rate Harmes too highly.

    If he were as good as many believe, he would have found his way into the side.

    Glad it's a settled side and can't wait to see Gus in the guts again.

    Really think this will ignite something going into finals.

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

    He was allegedly clear from concussion effects this week and named as a start-up for selection a couple of days ago. Against the Filth, we could use an effervescent Harmes and his muscle to clear the minds of some black'n'white pretenders.

    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’m in a bet with mates group, we always bet head to head anywhere from 3-5 games a week. There’s been at least one major upset 15 out of the 20 rounds played  this season.

    This was the only change likely given the big win but we still managed 18 plus pages in the weekly change thread

    You have to worry about our sanity and life purpose.

    Happy Hunt retains his spot, but the pressure is on to keep it

    Well pressure from below keeps the First XVIII (plus4) on their toes.

    Not omitted - just not returned.

    Even if not, it will feel that way to Sam.  Will either melt under his hat like the wicked witch or steel himself to have a point to prove. 

    Sad for him he won't have a game to do it in this weekend though. 

    Don't start me again - byes are an abomination in any fair competition.  Gil please note.

    Carn boys, get it done!

    Melksham play your role again and kep your spot. 

    big watch on Gus, if he goes back to the backline and it looks to upset the balance he has to stay in the guts.

    Agreed.  
    Pies have very good matchups on our key players.  Though I can’t see Cox dominating like he did in the QB game. That was ridiculous and Gawn/Jackson need to be ready for a physical encounter.

    Mason Cox couldn't play two good games in a year.....could he?

    He's played three exceptional games in his career, two have been against us, one against Richmond.  Surely he couldn't do it again.

    Max had a significant injury on QB, was literally on one leg, I don't think he will let Mason have the impact he did last time.

    IMV the only reason you would send Gus  back to his old role (now that Hunt is in) is to play a slow momentum game in the last 5 -10 minutes that's already in the bag or to cover for an injured HB.

    Gus in the guts (or wing / HF) is so much more damaging & effective.

    Correct me if wrong, but we had no May playing, Lever hobbling and Petty off the ground when they had that run-on?

    Wont be happening again. In fact, most of our losses and teams going on a run resulted from the above happening in games where our talls were off.

    Its a round 20,  2 v 3 clash!  Sides separated by percentage only. Its a huge game. Not so much one to be worried about as much as pumped and excited for...we get to prove ourselves (hopefully) on a Friday night with a crowd of 80k plus. These are the games that define the season. Id be "worried" if we were playing say the hawks or the bombers... this one Im just pumped for.

    This is the stuff we used to lament that we weren’t involved in. Let’s enjoy it - we won’t always win them but that will make the next win that much better and we should be playing these games throughout the Roaring 20s…

    We’re not smudging the glass looking in anymore, we’re inside the house with our feet up on the ottoman, reading the newspaper, and greeting the Pies as they arrive by peering over our glasses and saying “what took you so long?”

    Don’t forget that I think it was Cox who deliberately and recklessly charged Max from behind in a marking contest with knees to the back.  A dog act by a lowlife 😎

    On the last point, as our key defensive talls have been a bit vulnerable this year, is it worth having Tomlinson as the sub?

    It could be, Gawn used to drop back and help out, but am noticing hes dropped off a lot in this role and I'm unsure why?

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
