Ok if he got 15-20 possesions then you might MIGHT justify it but just take a look at his last 4 weeks, Surely he goes out. Disappeared after quarter time! 

Change your out from SparGod to cardio king ANB and I'll sign the petition

Whoever gave away those late goals must go out

May have cost us top 2 according to some

So we drop Stevic, as he caused the last one, overruling the umpire standing a few metres away, who paid a free for a dangerous tackle.

It was a blatant mistake by Stevic who said Rivers held the ball. Wrong, a dangerous tackle is not a legal one and he should have kept his whistle  out if it.

I am a confused with the first week of the finals. If the dees finish second, do they have the first week off?

 

I’m intrigued. How did you end up here, not knowing that?

I mean no offence, it’s just we’re a weird and tiny cul-de-sac in a much bigger city and you just asked for the name of the city.

We can tell you, sure, but came a long way down a bunch of weird roads to ask us…

I think Stevic's argument was that Rivers dropped the ball before the tackle became dangerous.

It probably wasn't holding the ball at all though (pretty sure it was knocked out in the tackle).

The tackle has to be completed legally before a htb gets paid, even if it’s paid first the dangerous tackle then overrules it. Very well could be wrong but I thought the second free was high contact on a different  player not dangerous tackle, in which case the first free probably stands

No change other than Salem for me. The change I want to make is in a month for a Prelim on a certain CHF and I have no idea who to drop…

Will depend a lot on the next game and of course Tommy playing some decent footy at Casey.

If we play like last night there will be no change. Richo kind of hinted at this on SEN today.

If we lose the first final and the forward line isn't functioning then the spot opens up.

No change, Bowey and Rivers were a great rebounding option and connected really well. Salem has been getting better since a number of issues, and he applies a lot of pressure, but it was Bowey’s best game of the year he was so clean. Damn hard choice as I love Salem. I also had Tmac coming in for BBB (if fit) but BBB also played his best game of the year. Melks has done everything asked. ANB is a defensive forward and his work is immense. Spargo has the neatest F50 entries. I still think Harmes might be dropped depending on matchups.

Also - Tmac could make a useful sub with his utility abilities.

For mine, Bowey stays in.  His disposal efficiency is a bit better than Salem's last game; 82% to 72%.  And his choice of target is elite.  Best to see Salem in the VFL for a week or two.

Spargo had a quiet game but is a talisman for the side. I reckon when you see Spargo on the defensive 50, you know the boys are pressuring and we will win.

ANB was solid. 

Melksham was quiet but still has a role. He will probably get squeezed out if TMAC reappears but the 5-6 weeks dropped to 2-3 weeks overnight so I wouldn't hold my breath.

So no changes.

Talk about maggots just making it up as they go.One free kick rule applies before another one.What a load of rubbish.There was two instances in last nights games where they did the opposite.

Tough call.

Salem probably will come back in but I thought bowiecwas good.

Anb won't be dropped even if his form isn't great.  Samecwith Spargo.

Good to see bbb back in form.

And Trac playing his best again.

Tracy being so unselfish was excellent, maturity is growing for the lads

Late game ANB really stood up because no one could run with him, he set up a few nice plays, he’s key for the late stages, as a benchman or on the field, I’m happy either way

Can you imagine the cheer when TMAC finally gets to run on the field, this year?

This thread could go 100 pages but we all know it’s Salem in for Bowey.

I would keep Bowey !!

I’m intrigued by the level of expectation for a TMac return to the ones. I think if he achieved match fitness to make the team again this year will be a miracle, although I wouldn’t put it past him. But to also acquire the form required to break back into the current side, no matter how much we’d like that, would also be a miracle. I cannot remember the last good game TMac played. As such, I have no expectations for him this year.

Salem in,  crazy talk about him not being B22.  

Bowie is unlucky but i think it is him that goes out.

Think that's the only change, i still worry about Melksham as our second tall, but can't drop him ATM

Obviously Bowey / Salem. Worry is Salem seldom plays well in matches after injury.

Going forward Melksham would be the likely out if TMac gets up but can’t see that happening with the way Melk has been playing.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
