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

Fair enough.  Though Melksham only has 1 more goal this year than JJ and has played 50% more games.

 

JJ for Brown makes no sense. Melksham will replace Brown to go smaller and more mobile up forward. 

 

 MFCSS setting in.

For some reason I get more nervous watching on TV than if I'm at the match, or even watching at the Sporting Globe with other Demons' supporters.

They just did a make some noise Dees fans followed by make some noise Bombers fans. You could barely hear a pin drop for the Dees. Was very loud for the Bombers. 

If only cringing was audible.

    Same. I think it's because we aren't at the ground so we can't see what's going on fully & we aren't giving our support. 

    I wasn't nervous last week but I am today because I just want to beat this team so badly

    I don't know about others, but the prompt pregame to make some noise feels condescending and makes me unenthusiastic.  However, I am very vocal during the match, ask @WalkingCivilWar 😁

    That's coz dees fans have class and don't respond to the screeching, beseeching hype person.

    That and the last 15 mins before the game is for checking the picnic hamper.

    Cringeworthy condescending.  But that's much of the match day "performance" these days  (except for the actual footy).

    Absolutely.  The cheese and kabana doesn't cut itself!

    If the rain does come around half time we don't want to get jumped and then have to pull it back in difficult conditions.

    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.

    Yep, should be easily the other away around. 
    GF (unused) sub, 50th game sub… just doesn’t sit well with me

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
