ANB, Sparrow, Brown, Spargo all liabilities. A mirror image to last week except we won.

No chance tho, presumably

    Joel Smith or JVR in the forward line to create some dynamic contests.

    Bowey in for Salem who has been awful all year.

    Harmes in to tag Neale and remain a tagger for rest of his career because that’s where he plays his best football.

    ANB or Spargo out because they simply do not provide the crumbing up forward we need.

    Ben Brown out even though Weideman hasn’t been good we seem to play better with him in the team. I prefer Weideman to Jackson (contract distracted) as the second ruck at the moment.

    Get Jordon the handbrake off the wing.

    Do we have a better option than Sparrow?

    We need another tall forward. I don’t care about Weids ongoing form, I think we need him.

    Weed or JVR would be more competitive than BBB

    OUT - Jordon

    IN - Harmes

    Really need a second tall forward IMO, but can't see Goody doing it.

    Would rather BBB with a missing leg over Weid

    van Rooyen on the other hand there's an argument for, which is concerning

    Out Melksham - no intensity 

    Zero tackles. He has to go.

    Spargo out. Not sure what's happened to him. Gone from a solid contributor to invisible.

    In. Chandler.

    Casper to the Invisible man is not an upgrade

    Melksham should get dropped for zero tackles. ANB and Spargo were so dynamic with their pressure. I don't know what we'd do without them.

    I'm being facetious.

    Will never happen but we’d be no worse with Harmes for Petracca. His defensive work is a joke and he’s not giving much offensively.

    JJ and Sparrow just going about their roles. So they’re the most vulnerable. Gus more wing and Harmes to Neale makes sense.

    Not really his fault but Spargo struggling. Bedford and Chandler managed this week from VFL

    The problem with the side is mostly the best players underperforming and not the role players.

    Harmes in 

    Sparrow to medi-sub.

    Harmes might kick a one or two.

    Only change - a forward option to help out. Apart from the one-arm efforts and concrete hands, BBB must have contested 30 aerial  contests, and was two-to-one or three-to-one every time. He needs a hand. Joel Smith is a point of difference option who I would consider heavily.

    Harmes for Spargo and please give JVR a go.

    • Like 6

    Spargo is about the only one able to deliver inside 50 but he's been very poor in the contest and barely touching it. I'd drop him for a second key forward, Weid/Jvr/Smith I don't really care.  I like Brayshaw in the middle but reckon he can be covered there, move him to the wing, drop Jordon and bring in Harmes. Bowey would be a useful in but not sure how we squeeze him in.

    I'd bring in Bowey for Spargo. At least he knows how to find the ball and is an equally good user.

    We still need more potency in attack, but stubborn Goody won't make any changes.

    Outs: Sparrow, Spargo, jordan

    in: Harmes, bedford, bowey

    Edit: subbing myself off. Hunt was brilliant on reflection.

    What I’d like is

    Harmes for Neal Bullen

    Bowey for Spargo

    Smith or Van Rooyen for B. Brown

    Hunt to the wing, Jordon to midfield rotations.

    What will happen,   No Change

    Against a side with 3 talls he stays in but against smaller line ups we really should ask what the point of Lever is chasing around half back flankers, Hibberd, Hunt and Rivers all did a better job intercepting and actually provide rebound. 

    ANB, Sparrow, Brown, Spargo all liabilities.
     

    ins. Harmes and Chandler 

    outs. Any TWO of ANB or Sparrow or Spargo 

     

    Fritsch has to do better. 

    it’s BEN Brown or JVR … so Brown stays in only as JVR is still so young. 

     

    Hunt was great, ANB tried hard. They keep their spots

    Outs. 
     

    - kicking bombs to the forwards 

    - slow and wide ball movement 

    - endless useless handballs that are easily intercepted 

    Ins 

    - use the corridor more 

    - BBB taking a contested mark.  (Not always going one handed) 

    - Quick play on style footy

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
