    He'll be back!

    Don't mind Jake in the side today. He'll offer more than Brown if the heavens open.

    Just offers a bit more flexibility. Happy with it too.

    Will Milkshake be in the starting 22 or sub?

    Starting 22.

    Jordon listed as sub again.

    Walking around the mean streets of Adelaide I feel like I’ve seen a lot more Essendon paraphernalia wearing people than Dees.

    Ugh. Working in a secure environment until about 6.30. Not even phones.

    Boooooo.

    Add an extra yell for me, all right?

    I'll probably watch the game on replay anyway, so if it is a proper thriller please name the match thread 'Spoiler Alert'.

    Are there any players you’d like us to be irrationally critical of?  This is the DL Gameday thread after all, where pretty much compulsory for all posters.

    If BBB is training, hard to see him playing IMO

    Well called.


    Bowser having shots on goal from the pocket during the warmup, and nailing them.  Interesting!

    Great idea! We should take orders like coffees :P

    Melksham over JJ… oh yeah… ok… sure… why not…

    I’d prefer it the other way round myself.

    I'd love to see how he would go as HFF/small forward

    It’s JJ’s 50th and 31 year old Melksham in probably his last year, has hardly played any decent footy this season and he is preferred to JJ.

    Wow!

    Are we determined to p-ss this kid off and drive him away in his FA year? Apparently so.

    Hope Goody has had a chat with JJ to explain the rationale of the selection.

    Well I suppose Melk can have a great game and justify it, but initially it seems hard on JJ, on a small milestone game.

    Ugh.  A spot opens up and we go with Melksham over JJ, relegating Jordon to sub on his 50th game.  JJ averages 14.5 disposals this year; Melksham 3.7.  <grumpy>

    I'm guessing the rationale is replacing a forward with another forward rather than a mid.

    It is positional and role.

    Melksham plays an undersized key forward in our system. Jordon is a midfielder.

    I think we should be rotating the sub role but that’s a separate issue.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
