Salem for Bowey or Jordan.

Got 2 weeks to think it over.

    Wow wee…T Mac to play as many as 3 quarters in the VFL next week  according to Ralph. Our top 30 players should all be available for the QF. Happy days.

    Salem in for Cardio King ANB would be ideal, throw Bowey up forward

    But likely to be Salem for Bowey

    Realistically they are not going to throw Bowey forward for the first time in his career in a final, but I agree that ANB is sailing close to the wind.  Bowey would be very stiff to be dropped

    I suggest it will be Bowey for Salem but it  should be no change. Salem has improved last 2 games but truthfully does not deserve to get in on form since his return.

    Agree 

     

    Bowey is an obvious omission. Finals are going to be very hot and fast this year. He had momentum last year and is better for the run to start the year but anyone suggesting he is ahead of ANB or Spargo is delusional. Bowey will be around for a while but this isn't his year.

    You still upset about our midfield selection this week…surely you think Harmes, Sparrow and Viney should go out?

    Seems like Salem's place is shaky at best...

    I'd drop Sparrow in a heart beat yeah

    Just a 'corky' according to Goody in his presser. Can't imagine he'll have any issue getting up in two weeks time.

    It all worked tonight.

    salo back in probably for bowser but would be happy with no change.

    Tmac playing Magoos for a couple of games you would think to get match fit then????

    Salem in. Out. Has to be between Jordan and Bowey. Thaught Bowey played a good game tonite.

    Sportsbet offering even money that Picket Fence calls for Spargo to be dropped

    When we play good footy it's hard to make a case for many changes. Salem is arguably my favourite player but even still it's a tough call to drop bowser for him

    TMac getting back is wild. Not sure who would make way for him structurally because Milkshake has done very well. Tmac as a sub could work

    I wasn't that impressed with ANB tonight, particularly with the ball but I can't see him getting dropped. Works so hard.

    Salo for Bowey.

    Jordon was the sub so unless you intend on Salem being the sub, someone has to move from the 22 to the sub if you're dropping Jordon.

    Salo for Bowey assuming Salo’s healthy and has been producing kms at training prior to this soreness.

    No way am I rushing McDonald back after 3/4’s of a game.

    I think there’s a bit of a different look we can go with in the midfield and half forward. Gus on the wing a little more, Harmes on ball and forward, Tracc on ball more. But some of that will depend on opponents and the venue.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
