You’d imagine Brisbane will be fired up after their Round 1 shocker. Big game. 

Pickett will miss. He has to. Maybe Melksham takes his spot?

    I'm thinking this. Probably have May rest another week, especially given how well Tommo played.

    Some serious selection headaches coming up though and isn't that just grand.

    • If May is available, then sadly it will have to be Tommo that misses, though he'd travel to Bne as an emergency.
    • If only one of Viney or Fritsch is available then he would replace Kozzie. If Kozzie escapes suspension then Laurie misses.
    • If both are available available then both Kozzie and Laurie miss. If Kozzie isn't suspended, and both Viney and Fritsch are available then it's Laurie and Melksham and some other unlucky player gets moved to sub.

    I don't think Salem will be available next week.

    It'd be good to give Laurie another game. Though he only had 4 possessions, he was involved in a sweet bit of play in the third quarter, exactly 5 seconds after I told my brother "I haven't seen Laurie much, I think he'll be subbed" ony to be rebuked "You mean that kid". But with quality returning players, we can't really do anything else.

    In Fritsch out Laurie

    Pickett will cop a fine.

    No need to rush Viney and May.

    Salem would have to have a run at Casey wouldn't he? It's been a lomg journey. Thinking Fritta maybe also at game in the Magoos

    Viney in, for Kossie, Melksham for Laurie and then a ? on the Sub

    Harmes worked hard. He won’t be dropped

    Harmes is the real worry for me to be honest. 

    He started the game straight into the guts but was barely sighted at times.

    With Viney out and given the opportunity for more midfield minutes he only finished with 15 disposals. Seemed to fumble a lot last night and had little influence around the contests.

    When Viney is fit and ready to then he comes straight back in. I think Harmes is most vulnerable here to lose his spot to him.

    I have said it through the pre season I am out on my own on Demonland with my views on Hunter and he did nothing last night to convince me he should be playing in front of some of our young players or even Harmes on last nights form. And if Salem is fit I am definitely playing him in front of Hunter, just my thoughts. 
     

    I don’t expect Hunter to be dropped but I would.

    Sparrow too. It’s odd being judgemental for a team that started like that but that’s selection with 4 of our best 8 players out.

    Harmes had 42 pressure acts which is exceptional. Next best was Kossie with 30. Your views on Harmes are no longer objective.

    Saw this about five seconds after I saw that Daniel Rich had eighteen (18!) rebound 50s, about 40% of the Lion's total. I'd say Harmes has a definite job to do. I'd also argue that 'negating half-forward' has always been his destiny and we shouldn't be worrying about making him a midfielder.

    And now I'm going to mention his long kick to Fritsch at the pivotal moment of the 21 grand final. Why? Why not - do I need a reason? 😄

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
